This project is supposed to serve a nuxt SPA app from a Flask server.
It is based on a sample project template flask-vuejs-template that was using a simple non-nuxt vuejs app
The project is a Flask application with with two blueprints:
- Api App: Blueprint uses FlaskRestful to serve resources at the
/apiurl endpoint (Not used in this example) - Client App: Minimal Blueprint used only to serve a single-page Vue.js App at the root endpoint
/
The nuxt.js application is served by the Client App Blueprint.
This template assumes you want to use VueJs to manage all of your front-end resources and assets,
so it does not attempt to overwrite Jinja's or Vue's template delimiter. It is just serving the SPA app as it generated by the npm run build command.
The nuxt.js app is based in the minimal SPA example app taken straight out of the nuxt.js examples
- Clone Repository
- cd to your repo
- I'm assuming you have pipenv installed (better/easier virtualenvs)
pipenv installto install all python dependenciescd nuxtto get to your nuxt appnpm installto install all node js packagesnpm run buildto build the SPA app.cd ..to get to the root of the Flask apppipenv run python run.pyto start the Flask server
Normally these files would not be included in the git repo (since they can be automatically produced by the development tools) but I left them in so you can take a look without having to checkout and run everything.
The nuxt.config.js has been configured to output all generated frontend files in the /app/static/spa folder. Nuxt still outputs a duplicate set of files in /nuxt/dist, although at this point it's not as important of an issue.
After visiting http://localhost:5000 you will be greeted with a blank page. Viewing the page source displays:

All the /static/spa/dist/*.js files are served properly as webpackJsonp compressed files.
Chrome's developer tools console does not display any errors.
What I'm I doing wrong?
