How to use Nitro features like Cache API, Storage Layer, or Auto Imports?

[frenzzy]

Is it even possible?

Sorry, but it's not clear to me from the docs or source code whether Nitro is used under the hood or not.

Nitro offers some really cool built-in features like:

• Cache API
• Storage Layer
• Auto Imports
• etc

Could anyone provide an example of using any Nitro feature?
It would be really helpful, or should I reimplement them myself?

Nitro IS used under the hood, but not completely exposed. You can configure most nitro options through createApp's server option, eg.

import { createApp } from "vinxi";

export default createApp({
	server: {
		https: true
	}
});

As per the individual APIs you have listed, each has its own reason for not being included in the API currently.

1. Storage Layer: It's just unstorage. You can install it yourself and set it up. Its pretty trivial.
2. Auto Imports: We have disabled this, but you can enable it by using unimports vite plugin.
3. Cache API: This one I want to include, still figuring out how, in the meanwhile cache headers can help you out.

What other features of nitro would you like me to give you an idea bout its availability.

Is it possible to register a nitro plugin?

[nksaraf]

yup.. nitro plugins can be added as they are in nitro thru the server config in vinxi

I am assuming you are supposed to get defineNitroPlugin from #internal/nitro? That seems to only work in build or I am doing something wrong. Nvm does not work in dev.

Ohh damn yeah I forgot I had not implemented it in dev yet. Lemme fix that and push today.

I've added auto import to server and client, it's as easy as adding unimport/plugin to the vite config in app.config. Good stuff!
For some reason however, I can't make it work on api routes (through api router).

Update; for an individual api handler, just using unimport works fine. Seems not that easy with apiRouter from @vinxi/router/api

[nksaraf]

are you able to add plugins to apiRouter, pass in plugins to the function that creates the router and you should be able to use unimports there too.. is this not working.. bump everything to latest versions (0.2.1). You might have to make some changes to the config eg. mode will become type. mode: "build" becomes type: "client" and mode: "handler" becomes type: "http"

[niicojs]

Doesn't seems to work.
Just update to latest and same thing.

Is it because plugins are executed on api-handler.js but not on individual files loaded by the api router?
The plugin is loaded (I can see the .d.ts beeing generated), but not executed on files in my api folder

Haven't fixed the plugins in dev yet. Will do that soon. Couldn't get enough time the last few days

No please for the love of God do not include auto-imports, it's the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen in my life, and it would ruin this beatiful project.

Was trying to use nitro-plugins with vinxi. I guess they are not yet supported in dev-mode. Do you think this will be a lot of work? Is there a way I could help?

Is it possible to import from #internal/nitro at all? I'd love to be able to use Nitro runtime functions like defineCachedFunction 🙂
