Question 1

Pocket Nuxt vs separate Nuxt and backend setup

Accepted Answer

Pocket Nuxt simplifies deployment and development with an all-in-one binary, but a separate setup offers more flexibility for scaling, customization, and using different technologies. Choose based on your project's complexity and team preferences.

Question 2

How to add custom API endpoints in Pocket Nuxt

Accepted Answer

Extend PocketBase using hooks and JavaScript files as per its documentation. You can add custom logic by modifying the PocketBase instance while building your Nuxt app normally in the app folder.

Question 3

Can Pocket Nuxt handle real-time features

Accepted Answer

Yes, through PocketBase's real-time subscriptions, but implementation depends on PocketBase's capabilities. Refer to PocketBase docs for details on setting up websockets or subscriptions.

Question 4

Is Pocket Nuxt good for production apps

Accepted Answer

It's suitable for small to medium-scale production apps, especially prototypes or MVPs, but monitor performance for high loads due to PocketBase's limitations. The demo shows it running on a DigitalOcean droplet.

Question 5

How to deploy Pocket Nuxt to AWS or similar clouds

Accepted Answer

Build the binary with yarn build:prod, then upload and run it on a cloud VM using the serve command. For managed services, you might need to adapt since it's a single executable, not a containerized app.

Question 6

What are the database options with Pocket Nuxt

Accepted Answer

PocketBase uses SQLite by default, which is fine for light to moderate loads. You can't easily switch to other databases without modifying the core PocketBase integration, as it's embedded in the binary.
