learning: nitro utils

[Drew-Macgibbon]

This is a running thread of my findings about nitro utils, add them to server/utils in Nuxt 3

[Drew-Macgibbon]

functions inside the server/utils folder are auto-imported and usable in api/middleware/util` folders.

Util Test:

logger is a util function from another file, auto-imported

export const namedExport = () => {
  logger.info('I am a named export')
}

export default () => {
  logger.info('I am a default export from the same file')
}

Api Route:

export default defineEventHandler(() => {
  logger.info('testing util exports')
  try {
    namedExport()
    fileNameDefault()
  } catch (err: any) {
    logger.error(err)
  }
})

output:

it appears that auto-imports don't work above 1 level of nesting. eg: utils/dir1/functionWillAutoImport but utils/dir1/dir2/functionWillNotAutoImport
