• Type: Function
• Arguments:
  1. String : route to render
  2. Optional, Object, context given, available keys: req & res
• Returns: Promise
  • html: String
  • error: null or Object

Render a specific route with a given context.

This method should be used mostly for test purposes as well as with nuxt.renderAndGetWindow.

nuxt.renderRoute should be executed after the build process in production mode.

const { loadNuxt, build } = require('nuxt')
async function start() {
  // Get nuxt instance for start (production mode)
  // Make sure to have run `nuxt build` before running this script
  const nuxt = await loadNuxt({ for: 'start' })
  const { html, error, redirected } = await nuxt.renderRoute('/')
  // `html` will always be a string
  // `error` not null when the error layout is displayed, the error format is:
  // { statusCode: 500, message: 'My error message' }
  // `redirected` is not `false` when `redirect()` has been used in `asyncData()` or `fetch()`
  // { path: '/other-path', query: {}, status: 302 }
}
start()
