Runtime component customization with updateAppConfig

[izoukhai]

For what version of Nuxt UI are you asking this question?

v3.0.0-alpha.x

Description

I want to customize my app.config.ts file from an external source.

Consider the following:

// plugins/config.ts

export default defineNuxtPlugin({
  async setup(nuxtapp) {
    const config = await fetchConfig()
    // output: {ui: {primary: "violet", button: {slots: {base: "hidden"}}}}

    if (config?.app_config) {
      updateAppConfig(config.app_config);
    }
  },
});

The primary color is updated correctly, but the hidden class is not applied to buttons.
Any ideas why?

This is nice idea! However, the issue is components merge the default config with #build/app.config for performance reasons, this is one of the reason HMR is not working when changing the App Config and you have to reload the page.

Hey @benjamincanac thanks for the answer!

So I guess it's not possible, unless I manage to call updateAppConfig before Nuxt UI reads app.config.ts ?
