if you set ssr: false in nuxt.config.js file, does this make nuxt work exactly same as plain Vue application?

if so, doing npm run build, npm run start will just serve static html/css/js file with node.js server?

Am I right here?

From the nuxt3 document

ssr - Disables server-side rendering for sections of your app and make them SPA-only with ssr: false

What I understand from the doc

When SSR is false and use npm run build

If you make ssr: false and build the project not generate, then It will work like a simple vue spa application. Like a traditional spa application, it will load the whole js in the initial load and then render in the client site.

When SSR is false and use npm run generate

Again if you make ssr: false and generate the project not build, Then it will prerender all the pages and generate the static file. And it will work like a traditional static website. But you have to be careful that as SSR is false it will not prefetch any data it needs in the generated time. So It's best to generate pages with SSR mode on.

Yeah, that will make Nuxt behave like Vue for the rendering part.
Be sure to have generate for an SSG target and not build (for SSR).

Here are more details of the benefits of still using Nuxt: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74714106/8816585
