Deploying a Nuxt static-generated (pre-rendered) app 

To generate a Nuxt static generated app from the Nuxt universal SSR app, we will use the sample website we created in the previous chapters for this exercise. You can find this sample in /chapter-14/deployment/sample-website/ in our GitHub repository. So let's get cracking with the following steps:

1. Make sure you have the following "generate" run script in the package.json file as follows:

"scripts": {
  "generate": "nuxt generate"
} 

2. Change the target project in the Nuxt config file to static:

// nuxt.config.js
export default {
  target: 'static'

// nuxt.config.js
export default {
  generate: {
    fallback: true
  }
}
