Changes Made

📦 Package Updates

  • nextra: ^2.13.2^3.3.1
  • nextra-theme-docs: ^2.13.2^3.3.1

🔧 Configuration Updates

  • next.config.js: Updated Nextra import from require('nextra')require('nextra').default to match v3's export structure

📁 Meta File Migration (Breaking Change)

Converted all _meta.json files to _meta.tsx as required by Nextra v3:

  • pages/_meta.jsonpages/_meta.tsx
  • pages/blog/_meta.jsonpages/blog/_meta.tsx
  • pages/docs/_meta.jsonpages/docs/_meta.tsx
  • pages/get-involved/_meta.jsonpages/get-involved/_meta.tsx
  • pages/docs/compute-cluster/_meta.jsonpages/docs/compute-cluster/_meta.tsx
  • pages/docs/community-docs/_meta.jsonpages/docs/community-docs/_meta.tsx
  • pages/docs/utilities/_meta.jsonpages/docs/utilities/_meta.tsx

🔄 Import Path Updates

  • useMDXComponents: "nextra-theme-docs""nextra/mdx"
  • Card component: Updated to use Cards.Card pattern instead of separate Card import from nextra/components

🧹 Code Quality

  • Fixed ESLint warnings by using proper variable assignment for default exports in meta files
  • Maintained backward compatibility for all existing functionality

Testing

Dev server starts successfully without errors
All Nextra-related TypeScript errors resolved
Build process works (pending fixture generation)
No breaking changes to existing functionality

Migration Notes

This upgrade addresses the major breaking changes introduced in Nextra v3:

  1. Export format change: Nextra now uses default exports requiring .default access
  2. Meta file format: JSON meta files are no longer supported and must be converted to JS/TS
  3. Component structure: Some components like Card are now nested under parent components

All changes are minimal and surgical, maintaining the existing website structure and functionality while upgrading to the latest Nextra version.
