API reference

Nuxt 4 + FeathersJS

Keep Nuxt's developer experience while structuring your backend with Feathers services, hooks, events, and transports.

Zod validation

Validate data, patches, and queries on the server with reusable TypeScript schemas.

Embedded or remote

Run Feathers inside Nitro or connect your Nuxt application to an existing Feathers API.

Modular authentication

Use local/JWT, OIDC, Keycloak, or API keys behind one normalized principal.

Multi-database registry

Name several MongoDB or Knex connections, select one per service, and inspect health without exposing credentials.

Project-oriented CLI

Initialize the integration, generate services, and inspect configuration without copying a complete architecture.

Verifiable playground

Test runtime, services, and authentication in an interface documented by Playwright scenarios.

Your first service in a few commands

bash

bunx nuxi@latest init my-nfz-app
cd my-nfz-app
bun install
bun add nuxt-feathers-zod
bunx nuxt-feathers-zod init embedded --auth
bunx nuxt-feathers-zod add service messages --adapter memory --schema zod
bun dev

Then use the service in a Vue component:

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
const { $api } = useNuxtApp()

const messages = await $api.service('messages').find({
  query: {
    $limit: 20,
    $sort: { createdAt: -1 },
  },
})
</script>

<template>
  <pre>{{ messages }}</pre>
</template>

The playground shows the real result

Screenshots are generated from the playground only after the related Playwright assertions pass. They explain how to use the module rather than exposing internal package maintenance.
