A Better Way to Structure Large Nuxt Projects

I built a small Nuxt 4 template that demonstrates a feature-based project structure for scalable applications.

Repository
https://github.com/orazchollaev/nuxt4-feature-based-template


Why?

Many Nuxt projects start with the traditional structure:

components/
composables/
stores/
pages/
utils/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This works well at first, but as the project grows:

  • related files become scattered
  • features are harder to maintain
  • navigating the codebase becomes slower

A feature-based architecture organizes code by feature instead of technical type.


Example Structure

app/
└── features/
    └── todo/
        ├── components/
        ├── composables/
        ├── stores/
        ├── pages/
        ├── types/
        └── locales/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Everything related to a feature lives in one place.


What This Template Includes

  • feature-based folder architecture
  • component auto-import with feature prefixes
  • feature-scoped composables and stores
  • modular routing
  • modular i18n support

Full implementation and details are available in the repository.


Quick Start

pnpm install
pnpm dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you're building a large Nuxt application, this structure can make your codebase easier to scale and maintain.
