Mastering Nuxt Fullstack Unleashed

Early Access means you're getting in at the ground level of the course, with full access to all content as it's released. On launch day, you'll get 20 lessons across the intro and first two chapters, and from there, new lessons will be added weekly until the complete course is available (expected to be 13 chapters and 95 lessons). This staged release ensures we can deliver the most accurate, up-to-date guidance - especially as Nuxt 4 is still finalizing its stable release. You'll stay in sync with the latest Nuxt updates, and have a chance to absorb the content step-by-step, with a real project to apply your learning along the way. Buying now means you lock in early access, at a good price, and stay ahead of the curve as the full course unfolds.

The main difference is that we're building an entirely new app with more advanced functionality. In Mastering Nuxt 4, you'll build an AI-powered chat app—a completely different project from the one in Nuxt 3. Also, the course is updated to incorporate the latest features available in Nuxt 3 (and soon in Nuxt 4), with a very simple upgrade process (about five minutes) when Nuxt 4 is released. While the core fundamentals of Nuxt remain the same from MN3, we're also integrating modern full-stack elements like database access and authentication, so that you will master the essential features of Nuxt 4.

Mastering Nuxt Full Stack Unleashed is a complete rewrite of Mastering Nuxt 3 and is a standalone course. You do not need to have taken Mastering Nuxt 3 first. However, if you have already taken the previous course, you'll find Mastering Nuxt 4 to be a valuable refresher with many new topics covered.

You will be building an AI-powered chat app - a clone of ChatGPT but developed entirely with Nuxt. The project includes features such as streaming AI responses, dynamically generated chat names using AI, and the organization of chats into projects. Advanced data fetching techniques will also be implemented to ensure a fast, responsive user experience.

Michael Thiessen, the creator of this course and co-host of the Déjà Vue podcast, brings a wealth of Nuxt and Vue expertise to your screen. He's interviewed leading figures in the ecosystem, including Evan You, Daniel Roe, and Alex Lichter. With a long track record of teaching through articles, books, and talks around the world, Michael has helped thousands of developers improve their Nuxt codebases - making them cleaner, more scalable, and easier to maintain. He's already made all the common mistakes so you don't have to - and now he's here to guide you in building like a seasoned pro.

A "real-world app" means you're not just learning concepts in isolation - you're building something practical, complex, and actually usable. In this course, that means developing a full-stack AI-powered chat application with features you'd expect in a real product: streaming responses, project-based chat organization, dynamic routing, authentication, database integration, caching, error handling, and performance optimization. You'll deploy it, scale it, and structure it like a serious, production-grade app - exactly the kind of project that prepares you for real jobs and client work.

There are currently 27 lessons for you to watch. At this stage, without a Nuxt 4 stable release, we plan on the course containing 13 Chapters and 95 lessons. Here is a breakdown:

• Intro
• Chapter 1: Project Setup
• Chapter 2: Basic Chat App
• Chapter 3: Connecting to OpenAI and Deploying
• Chapter 4: Routes
• Chapter 5: Basic Server Routes
• Chapter 6: Basic Data Fetching
• Chapter 7: Advanced Server Routes
• Chapter 8: Advanced Data Fetching
• Chapter 9: Advanced Caching
• Chapter 10: SEO and Performance
• Chapter 11: Error Handling
• Chapter 12: Database
• Chapter 13: Auth

The backend of the course is powered by a modern, developer-friendly stack designed for real-world applications. You'll use Nuxt's built-in server engine (Nitro) to create powerful API routes with minimal configuration. Data handling is managed first with unstorage, then refactored to use Prisma, a type-safe ORM that integrates seamlessly with Supabase, which serves as your hosted Postgres database and authentication provider. You'll validate and structure server data using Zod, implement secure authentication flows with GitHub OAuth, and enforce access control with Nuxt middleware and server composables. The result is a clean, scalable backend architecture that brings full-stack power to your Nuxt apps—without needing to set up an external server framework.

The course prerequisites assume that you are somewhat familiar with web development. You should have a basic understanding of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and know how to use Git (including having a GitHub account). Familiarity with Nuxt is helpful but not required, as the course is designed for those who have done some web development in the past but may be new to Nuxt.

This course takes you through the complete journey of building a production-ready, AI-powered Nuxt application. You'll start with essential project setup and tooling, then move into core Nuxt concepts like file-based routing, layouts, components, and universal rendering. From there, you'll integrate with OpenAI, deploy with Netlify, and explore powerful features like dynamic routes, state management, server APIs, and advanced data fetching strategies. The course also covers caching, SEO, performance optimization, and robust error handling. On the backend, you'll work with Supabase and Prisma to create a real database layer, implement full authentication with GitHub OAuth, and secure your app with middleware and composables. It's a deep dive into modern full-stack Nuxt development—hands-on, practical, and built for real-world success.

This course is for developers who want to skip the fluff and actually build. We've stripped out the filler and focused entirely on what matters—teaching you how to build fast, scalable, production-ready apps with the latest version of Nuxt. Every lesson is purposeful. If you're serious about leveling up your Nuxt skills and want to learn by building something real, this course is built for you.

If you want to learn the officially recommended state management solution for Vue.js and even directly from its creator, then we suggest you sign up for Mastering Pinia. The course has been developed by Eduardo San Martin Morote, the creator of both Pinia and Vue Router. For more information, visit masteringpinia.com

In the course, we connect our AI chat app to OpenAI's API, which will cost a few cents. However, this is optional, as we also provide a way to get mocked responses back from the server, so you can skip this entirely. This will not affect your ability to complete the course; the only difference is that your chats will be a little less interesting.

The focus is on Nuxt 4, but almost all of the skills and concepts you'll learn are backwards compatible to Nuxt 3.

While there are some breaking changes, the Nuxt team has made the upgrade path very simple. You can find more in the Nuxt documentation.

Just start learning Nuxt! Nuxt 3 already has most of the features that will be in Nuxt 4 (you just have to opt-in). As well, the most fundamental and important parts of Nuxt will not change at all, so there's no reason to wait.

Here are some highlights:

• A new folder structure to better separate frontend and backend code
• Data fetching composables use shallowRef by default to improve performance
• Fetched data will be shared across all prerendered pages
• Many other minor DX improvements that require breaking changesRead more about the changes in this blog post.

The upgrade path from 3 to 4 will not be as painful as it was from 2 to 3. The Nuxt team has been working very hard to make sure of that! The upgrade process is straightforward, and there is even a whole set of CLI tools (Codemods) to automate most of this process for you.

This course is completely re-done from the ground up, with a new app and newly recorded videos. You'll learn the latest features of Nuxt, and the most up-to-date best practices!
