# Nuxt | Sentry for Nuxt

## [Prerequisites](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt.md#prerequisites)

You need:

* A Sentry [account](https://sentry.io/signup/) and [project](https://docs.sentry.io/product/projects.md)
* Your application up and running
* Nuxt version `3.7.0` or above (`3.14.0`+ recommended)

Are you using Nuxt version < 3.14.0?

Add the following overrides:

```json
"overrides": {
  "ofetch": "^1.4.0",
  "@vercel/nft": "^0.27.4"
}
```

*Other available variations of the above snippet: yarn, pnpm*

## [Install](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt.md#install)

The AI-powered `sentry init` flow is currently experimental. To use the existing framework-specific setup instead, see the option below, or check out the [Manual Setup](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt/manual-setup.md) guide.

Run the Sentry init command in your project directory to automatically configure Sentry in your Nuxt application.

The command guides you through setup and asks which optional Sentry features you want to enable beyond error monitoring.

```bash
npx sentry@latest init
```

How does sentry init work?

The `sentry init` command is AI-powered. It analyzes your project and generates a tailored integration, rather than applying a fixed template. Here's what it does:

* **Analyzes your project** — reads project files and manifests to understand your Nuxt app structure, including monorepos. It also respects AI instruction files such as `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and `.cursorrules`.
* **Detects your framework** — identifies Nuxt and selects the `@sentry/nuxt` SDK.
* **Fetches official Sentry docs** — uses the current Sentry documentation as the source of truth when generating integration code.
* **Installs dependencies** — adds `@sentry/nuxt` using your project's package manager.
* **Creates and modifies files** — sets up client-side and server-side initialization, Nuxt module configuration, and other selected features based on your project structure.
* **Verifies the integration** — re-reads modified files after writing to confirm Sentry was integrated.

For full details on what each file does, see the [Manual Setup](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt/manual-setup.md) guide.

Prefer the existing Nuxt wizard?

If you don't want to use the experimental AI-powered flow, run the framework-specific installation wizard instead:

```bash
npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i nuxt
```

To configure Sentry manually, follow the [Manual Setup](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt/manual-setup.md) guide.

## [Avoid Ad Blockers With Tunneling (Optional)](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt.md#avoid-ad-blockers-with-tunneling-optional)

You can prevent ad blockers from blocking Sentry events using tunneling. Use the `tunnel` option in `Sentry.init` to add an API endpoint in your application that forwards Sentry events to Sentry servers.

This will send all events to the `tunnel` endpoint. However, the events need to be parsed and redirected to Sentry, so you'll need to do additional configuration on the server. You can find a detailed explanation on how to do this on our [Troubleshooting page](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt/troubleshooting.md#using-the-tunnel-option).

```javascript
Sentry.init({
  dsn: "https://<key>@o<orgId>.ingest.sentry.io/<projectId>",
  tunnel: "/tunnel",
});
```

## [Verify Your Setup](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt.md#verify-your-setup)

The `sentry init` command checks the integration files it creates or modifies before it finishes. To confirm runtime events are reaching Sentry, start your Nuxt app, exercise the parts of your app that should send events, and then check your Sentry project.

If you used the Nuxt installation wizard instead, you can also verify your setup with the example page or component it creates.

The wizard created an example component instead of a page.

The wizard creates a `SentryErrorButton` component when it fails to add an example page to your project. This usually happens if you don't have a `app.vue` file or if that file does not contain the `NuxtPage` component. To verify your setup, follow these steps before continuing with the next section, "View Captured Data in Sentry":

1. Add the `SentryErrorButton` component to a page and open it in your browser. For most Nuxt applications, this will be at localhost.
2. Click the "Throw Sample Error" button, which triggers an error and starts a performance trace on the client side.

To test the server side as well, refer to the "Verify" section in the [Manual setup guide](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt/manual-setup.md).

To test Sentry, you can run your Nuxt application in either production or development mode. We **recommend testing in production mode** as it most closely resembles your deployed application's environment.

By default, the SDK will add the server config as `sentry.server.config.mjs` to the build. To find the exact path to this file, enable `debug` mode in your Sentry configuration within `nuxt.config.ts`. Sentry will then print the exact path during the build process.

### [Run in Production Mode (Recommended)](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt.md#run-in-production-mode-recommended)

After building with `nuxi build`, run your project and make sure to load Sentry on the server side by explicitly adding it via `--import` (read more about this flag in [Installation Methods](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt/install.md)).

```bash
# Start your app after building your project with `nuxi build`
node --import ./.output/server/sentry.server.config.mjs .output/server/index.mjs
```

### [Run in Development Mode](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt.md#run-in-development-mode)

The server config file is generated in the `.nuxt` directory the first time you run `nuxt dev`. If you delete your `.nuxt` directory, you'll need to run `nuxt dev` once without the `NODE_OPTIONS` variable to regenerate it.

If you only want to use Sentry on the client-side or only need basic error monitoring on the server side, you can omit the `--import` flag when running your application.

```bash
# Run the dev server with the --import flag after running `nuxt dev` once (without the flag)
NODE_OPTIONS='--import ./.nuxt/dev/sentry.server.config.mjs' nuxt dev
```

If you used the Nuxt installation wizard, after building and running your project:

1. Open the example page `/sentry-example-page` in your browser. For most Nuxt applications, this will be at localhost.

2. Click the "Throw sample error" button. This triggers two errors:

   * a frontend error
   * an error within the API route

Sentry captures both of these errors for you. Additionally, the button click starts a performance trace to measure the time it takes for the API request to complete.

### [View Captured Data in Sentry](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nuxt.md#view-captured-data-in-sentry)

Now, head over to your project on [Sentry.io](https://sentry.io/) to view the collected data (it takes a couple of moments for the data to appear).

##### Important

Errors triggered from within your browser's developer tools (like the browser console) are sandboxed, so they will not trigger Sentry's error monitoring.

Need help locating the captured errors in your Sentry project?

* Open the [**Issues**](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/issues/) page and select an error from the issues list to view the full details and context of this error. For more details, see this [interactive walkthrough](https://docs.sentry.io/product/sentry-basics/integrate-frontend/generate-first-error.md#ui-walkthrough).
* Open the [**Traces**](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/explore/traces/) page and select a trace to reveal more information about each span, its duration, and any errors. For an interactive UI walkthrough, click [here](https://docs.sentry.io/product/sentry-basics/distributed-tracing/generate-first-error.md#ui-walkthrough).
* Open the [**Replays**](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/replays/) page and select an entry from the list to get a detailed view where you can replay the interaction and get more information to help you troubleshoot.
* Open the [**Logs**](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/explore/logs/) page and filter by service, environment, or search keywords to view log entries from your application. For an interactive UI walkthrough, click [here](https://docs.sentry.io/product/explore/logs.md#overview).
* Open the [**User Feedback**](https://sentry.io/orgredirect/organizations/:orgslug/feedback/) page and click on individual feedback to see more details all in one view. For more information, click [here](https://docs.sentry.io/product/user-feedback.md).
