What is the difference between Nuxt plugins and modules?

What is the difference between Nuxt plugins and modules?

Nuxt plugins are used to add functionality to your Nuxt app, like integrating third-party libraries. Modules, on the other hand, are more comprehensive and can include plugins, middleware, and even server-side logic.

Can you give me an example of a plugin?

Sure! A common example is the Axios plugin, which allows you to make HTTP requests easily within your Nuxt application.

And what about a module?

An example of a module is the Nuxt Auth module, which provides authentication features and can handle various strategies like OAuth.

When should I use a plugin instead of a module?

Use a plugin when you need to add specific functionality or integrate a library. Choose a module when you need a more extensive solution that may include multiple features.
