Nuxt 4.4 · Nuxt Blog

Nuxt 4.4 ships several developer experience and performance improvements. Key additions include createUseFetch/createUseAsyncData factories for custom composable instances with typed defaults, an upgrade to vue-router v5 (dropping unplugin-vue-router), typed layout props via definePageMeta, and a new useAnnouncer composable for accessibility announcements. Route generation migrates to the unrouting library using a trie structure, delivering up to 28x faster dev server updates. Smarter payload handling for cached/ISR routes reduces redundant SSR re-renders in serverless environments. Other highlights: useCookie refresh option for session expiration, useState reset-to-default behavior, improved import protection with traces and suggestions, view transition types support, build profiling via nuxt build --profile, and a 14,000x faster module ID parsing optimization.
