Deno support

[BlueskyFR]

Describe the feature

Hi! It would be super nice to be able to develop with/install Nuxt using Deno, as the only listed options so far are npm, pnpm, yarn & bun 😊

Additional information

• Would you be willing to help implement this feature?
• Could this feature be implemented as a module?

Final checks

• Read the contribution guide.
• Check existing discussions and issues.

Do you mean add Deno starter to docs? Nuxt is compatible with Deno.

He probably meant Nuxi package manager options when creating a new project. When selecting npm and then trying to run deno task build it throws these errors a bunch:

[BlueskyFR]

Yes I meant that! And also to use deno instead of npm to install dependencies, so to add abother option "deno" alongside bun, nom, yarn and others.
Because I don't want to have to install npm if I already have deno.
And I am getting the same error yes!

[web-dev-sam]

After some source code delving I found out you can build nuxt using Deno by adding nitro: { preset: 'deno' } to your nuxt config. However I did not find a way to make it work for the development server so that it works. I assume that there isn't support for that yet. The issue could be related to some fs.stat or fs.statSync not receiving proper arguments (deno-node polyfill). But since the stacktrace is too small I don't know much more.

Is #526 solving this issue?
Gotta confirm that

[BlueskyFR]

Well when using the Nuxt UI starter with Deno I am getting a 500 server error for now:

[nuxt] [request error] [unhandled] [500] Cannot find module 'vue'

Just after running deno task dev

[danielroe]

Does it help if you add vue as a dependency?

[danielroe]

Deno seems to work fine in a new project with the latest CLI changes.

I checked UI template and installing vue does resolve the issue, so I added it to package.json.

[BlueskyFR]

@danielroe can you please reopen? This does not look fixed to me.

When creating a new project using deno run -A npm:nuxi@latest init -t ui, and then deno task dev I get this:

instead of (same project but using Yarn instead of Deno):

So I think this issue should still be opened 😅

[danielroe]

you're right, there's an issue:

would you raise it upstream with deno? this doesn't seem like a nuxt bug to me.

[pi0]

Probably related (denoland/deno#26700, denoland/deno#23289)

[BlueskyFR]

@danielroe how are you getting that? I don't have any error on my side:

[BlueskyFR]

Are you sure you are using Deno 2.1.4? I think your issue might be already fixed

[danielroe]

quite right, this computer still had v2.0.6
