We hope that from working through all the previous chapters, you know that you have been developing Nuxt universal server-side rendered (SSR) apps. An SSR app is an app that renders your app content on the server side. This kind of app requires a specific server to run your apps, such as a Node.js and Apache server, while a universal SSR app like that you've been creating with Nuxt runs on both the server and client sides. This kind of apps requires a specific server too. A Nuxt universal SSR app can be deployed with just two commands on the terminal. Let's take a look at how you can do it in the following steps:
- Launch the nuxt build command via npm to build the app with webpack and minify the JavaScript and CSS:
$ npm run build
You should get the following build result:
> [your-app-name]@[your-app-name] start /var/path/to/your/app
> nuxt build
ℹ Production build
ℹ Bundling for server and client side...
