nuxt-required-env

Ensure that all required environment variables exist.

Features

• ✅ Define required environment variables
• 🔒 Fails fast in dev or build if any are missing
• ⚙️ Checks both .env and runtimeConfig
• 🛠 Improves deployment safety and DX

Quick Setup

Install the module to your Nuxt application with one command:

npx nuxi module add nuxt-required-env

Create a file called env-schema.ts in your project root:

import { z } from 'zod'

export const EnvSchema = z.object({
  NUXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL: z.string().url(),
  STRIPE_KEY: z.string(),
  SUPABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
  MY_SECRET: z.string().min(10),
})

If your schema is in a different path, set it via module options:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-required-env'],
  requiredEnv: {
    schemaPath: 'config/env-schema', // path relative to project root, without extension
  },
})

That's it! You can now use nuxt-required-envin your Nuxt app ✨
