Is there a way to use Nuxt.js SSR with PHP? The only way I can think of is to use Nginx to send all requests from example.com/api/* to PHP and everything else to Node, but I'm not sure if that would work. Thoughts?
That would work, you would need to edit the nginx yourself to proxy the node server and then point your '/api/ to the PHP application.
Have been researching this as well, the thing I was doing was to have a simple nginx server with my Nuxt Application running and then a separate PHP box with my laravel application on it.
I was thinking using nuxt to generate static pages. Maybe a server folder with laravel and a client folder with nuxt. Then set '/api' as an alias to the server folder, in my vhost file on apache.
