Auto Imports

import { defineConfig } from "nitro";

export default defineConfig({
  serverDir: true,
  imports: {},
});

Functions exported from server/utils/ are automatically available without explicit imports when auto-imports are enabled. Define a utility once and use it anywhere in your server code.

Configuration

Enable auto-imports by setting imports in your config:

import { defineConfig } from "nitro";

export default defineConfig({
  serverDir: true,
  imports: {},
});

Using Auto Imports

1. Create a utility file in server/utils/:

export function makeGreeting(name: string) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

2. The function is available without importing it:

import { defineHandler } from "nitro/h3";
import { makeGreeting } from "./server/utils/hello.ts";

export default defineHandler(() => `<h1>${makeGreeting("Nitro")}</h1>`);

With this setup, any function exported from server/utils/ becomes globally available. Nitro scans the directory and generates the necessary imports automatically.
