Nuxt Aidbase

Nuxt module to integrate Aidbase features into your app.

• ✨  Release Notes

Features

• Adds an AidbaseChatbot component for embedding the Aidbase chat widget.
• Server API endpoint /api/aidbase/faq to fetch mapped FAQ items from Aidbase for a configured knowledge base.
• Automatically configures Vue to treat ab- prefixed elements as custom elements.

Quick Setup

Install the module to your Nuxt application with one command:

npx nuxi module add nuxt-aidbase

That's it! You can now use Nuxt Aidbase in your Nuxt app ✨

Module options / configuration

Add configuration to your nuxt.config under the aidbase key. Example:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  aidbase: {
    // ID of the Aidbase FAQ knowledge base to use for `/api/aidbase/faq`
    faqKnowledgeId: 'your-faq-knowledge-id',
  },
})

Important environment variables:

• NUXT_PRIVATE_AIDBASE_API_TOKEN (required) — Your Aidbase API token. The module will log an error at setup if this is not set and the server endpoints that require it will return an error.
• NUXT_PRIVATE_AIDBASE_FAQ_CACHE_MAX_AGE (optional) — Cache TTL (in seconds) for the FAQ endpoint in production. Defaults to 3600.

Security note: The API token must be stored in a private server-only env var (the module reads it via process.env.NUXT_PRIVATE_AIDBASE_API_TOKEN and exposes it to server runtime config only).

Usage

Component: AidbaseChatbot

The module auto-registers a component named AidbaseChatbot that you can place anywhere in your application.

Props:

Prop	Type	Required	Default	Description
id	string	yes	-	The Aidbase chatbot ID (from your Aidbase dashboard).
theme	'light' | 'dark'	no	'light'	Chat widget theme.
classes	string	no	'fixed p-4 bottom-0 right-0 z-[99]'	Additional CSS classes for the widget container.
styles	CSSStyleValue	no	-	Inline styles for the widget container.

Example:

<template>
  <AidbaseChatbot id="my-chatbot-id" theme="dark"></AidbaseChatbot>
</template>

Notes:

• The component injects the Aidbase client script (https://client.aidbase.ai/chat.ab.js) and will add a small helper script to set the chatbot id on SPA navigation.
• The module configures Vue compiler options so elements prefixed with ab- are treated as custom elements (no warnings).

Server API: GET /api/aidbase/faq

This module exposes a server handler at /api/aidbase/faq that fetches FAQ items from the Aidbase API for a configured knowledge base and returns a simplified array of items with question and answer fields.

Behavior:

• Reads the Aidbase API token and FAQ knowledge id from runtime config:
  • NUXT_PRIVATE_AIDBASE_API_TOKEN (env var) — mandatory
  • runtimeConfig.public.aidbase.faqKnowledgeId (module option / nuxt config)
• Fetches from: https://api.aidbase.ai/v1/knowledge/{faqKnowledgeId}/faq-items
• Returns an array of { question: string, answer: string } where answer is a markdown string assembled from the Aidbase response.
• The handler is cached using Nuxt's cachedEventHandler. Default cache age:
  • In dev: 1 second
  • In production: value of NUXT_PRIVATE_AIDBASE_FAQ_CACHE_MAX_AGE (seconds) or fallback to 3600 (1 hour)

Example response:

[
  {
    "question": "How do I reset my password?",
    "answer": "You can reset your password by..."
  },
  {
    "question": "Is there a free tier?",
    "answer": "Yes — the free tier includes..."
  }
]

Errors:

• If the API token is missing, the endpoint returns HTTP 500 with message: Aidbase API token is not configured.
• If the FAQ knowledge id is missing, the endpoint returns HTTP 500 with message: Aidbase FAQ knowledge ID is not configured.
