# Zeit Now

Everything referenced here is about using Now V2.

There are 2 different ways to deploy.

1. Using Now CLI
2. Using a now.json file

# Important Commands

# Deploy

now --prod

# Secrets for env variables

now --prod

# Universal Apps

The @nuxtjs/now-builder can be used which is referenced in the Nuxt docs.

I had to add the following to the project's package.json file though.

{
  "engines": {
    "node": "10.x"
  }
}

# Environmental Variables

# Step 1: Set The Secret Key

now secret api-key ApiKeyValue123

# Step 2: Setup env variables in now.json

now.json

{
  "version": 2,

  "build": {
    "env": {
      "API_KEY": "@api_key"
    }
  }
}

# Step 3: Add this to nuxt.config.js

export default {
  env: {
    API_KEY: process.env.API_KEY
  }
};

now secret add [name] [value]
