API: The rootDir Property

• Type: String
• Default: process.cwd()

Define the workspace of your Nuxt.js application.

This property is overwritten by nuxt commands and set to the argument of the command (example: nuxt my-app/ will set the rootDir to my-app/ with its absolute path).

This property should be used when using Nuxt.js programmatically.

The downside of this option is that your node_modules directory should be inside the rootDir folder. If you want to set the path of the application without the node_modules, use the srcDir option.
