You can create the following extra directories, some of which have special behaviors. Only pages is required; you can delete them if you don't want to use their functionality.
The assets directory contains your uncompiled assets such as Stylus or Sass files, images, or fonts.
More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.
The components directory contains your Vue.js components. Components make up the different parts of your page and can be reused and imported into your pages, layouts and even other components.
More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.
Layouts are a great help when you want to change the look and feel of your Nuxt app, whether you want to include a sidebar or have distinct layouts for mobile and desktop.
More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.
This directory contains your application views and routes. Nuxt will read all the *.vue files inside this directory and setup Vue Router automatically.
More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.
The plugins directory contains JavaScript plugins that you want to run before instantiating the root Vue.js Application. This is the place to add Vue plugins and to inject functions or constants. Every time you need to use Vue.use(), you should create a file in plugins/ and add its path to plugins in nuxt.config.js.
More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.
This directory contains your static files. Each file inside this directory is mapped to /.
Example: /static/robots.txt is mapped as /robots.txt.

We recommend you read the Heroku documentation for Node.js.

You can set up and configure your app via the Heroku dashboard or the Heroku CLI.
First, we create our app. Then we add the Node.js buildpack and configure the app to listen on the host 0.0.0.0:
heroku create elemes-id-test
heroku buildpacks:set heroku/nodejs
heroku config:set HOST=0.0.0.0Your app's Settings section on the Heroku dashboard should contain this:
Finally, we can push the app on Heroku with:
git push heroku masterTo deploy a non-master branch to Heroku use:
git push heroku develop:masterwhere develop is the name of your branch.
You can optionally configure automatic deploys from a selected branch of your app's GitHub repository in the Deploy section of your app in the Heroku dashboard.
Hura! Your Nuxt application is now hosted on Heroku!
