§ 00Nuxt + Job Applicationplatform-specific integration guide

Why Nuxt developers choose splitforms for job application

Nuxt 3's auto-imports and server routes make it easy to add form handling, but setting up a server-side submission pipeline (SMTP, spam checks, database, dashboard) is still a significant project. The job application on this page uses <code>useState</code> for submit state and a <code>fetch</code> POST to splitforms — no server route, no Nitro engine dependency, no SMTP configuration. Because the form posts directly from the browser, it works identically on static hosting (Netlify, Cloudflare Pages) and on Nuxt's server-rendered pages.

§ 00Quick answerHTML · hr

Yes — this is the shortest safe path for Nuxt.

Use the HTML snippet on this page, keep the job application fields visible in your Nuxt UI, and let splitforms handle delivery, spam filtering, storage, and webhooks.

best implementation

Paste the HTML version, then replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY.

The posted payload contains full name, email, position you're applying for, linkedin / portfolio url, resume url, cover letter. Required fields are full name, email, position you're applying for and cover letter.

native nuxt reality

Nuxt 3's Nitro server gives you /server/api/contact.post.ts for free — write a handler, parse FormData, send email, store the submission, fan out a webhook.

use case fit

Most career-page application forms hide behind Greenhouse / Lever, which charge $200+/month per role. For a startup hiring 1-3 roles a year, a self-hosted form with resume upload does the job.

§ 03bJob Application Form (Careers Page)template-specific playbook

The reason this job application exists.

Resume upload (Pro) · webhooks into Notion / Airtable / Greenhouse.

why it matters

ATS subscriptions (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable) start at $6-15k/year for a small team — a lot of money for a startup that hires 2 engineers a year. A self-hosted application form on the careers page handles the inbound flow. The form captures name, email, role applying for, resume (PDF upload, often required), LinkedIn / portfolio URL, and a brief 'why us' textarea. The submission lands in the hiring manager's inbox or webhooks into Notion / Airtable / a Slack channel for triage. As soon as you're past 5 simultaneous open roles, an ATS pays off — until then, this works.

route the submission

Capture role and basics

Required: name, email, role (dropdown of open positions), resume upload (PDF/DOCX). Optional: LinkedIn URL, portfolio URL, cover-letter textarea, location / timezone.

Receive resume upload

Storage-backed file upload keeps the resume connected to the submission. Attachments cap at 10 MB per file; resume PDFs are usually 100-500 KB, so headroom is generous.

Webhook to Notion / Airtable

Push the application as a row in a Notion / Airtable database (one per role). Hiring team triages from there — moves to interview stage, archives obvious passes, comments inline. Cheaper than Greenhouse for low-volume hiring.

§ 03cNuxt production notesnative path · deploy · gotchas

What changes when this job application lives in Nuxt.

These notes come from the Nuxt platform registry and are rendered on this template page so crawlers see the framework-specific answer without opening a separate guide.

without splitforms

Nuxt 3's Nitro server gives you /server/api/contact.post.ts for free — write a handler, parse FormData, send email, store the submission, fan out a webhook. The DX is good; the operational cost is the same as any framework: an SMTP integration (Nodemailer + a transactional provider), a Postgres or KV store for submissions, anti-spam logic (honeypot + classifier or hCaptcha), and webhook signing if you want secure delivery to Slack/Discord/Make.com. Each feature is another deploy artifact, another env var, another thing to monitor. Splitforms is the inverse: skip the /server/api route entirely (post directly from the page), or proxy through a one-line Nitro route to keep the key server-side.

deploy notes

Nuxt's Nitro server abstracts away deployment — pick a preset (vercel, netlify, cloudflare-pages, cloudflare-workers, node-server, static, aws-lambda, digital-ocean) and ship. The form's POST is cross-origin to splitforms, so the preset doesn't affect delivery. On Cloudflare Workers (10ms CPU on free tier), strongly prefer Pattern A — Pattern B's $fetch round-trip can blow the budget under load. Use runtimeConfig.public.splitformsKey (client-exposed) for Pattern A and runtimeConfig.splitformsKey (server-only) for Pattern B. Both populate from NUXT_PUBLIC_SPLITFORMS_KEY / NUXT_SPLITFORMS_KEY env vars.

Nuxt gotcha

runtimeConfig.public is required for client exposure — `runtimeConfig.x` is server-only

Nuxt's runtimeConfig has two scopes. Anything under runtimeConfig.public is exposed to the browser bundle; anything else is server-only. If you put splitformsKey directly in runtimeConfig (not .public), useRuntimeConfig().splitformsKey returns undefined client-side.

Nuxt gotcha

useRuntimeConfig() called outside setup() returns empty object

Calling useRuntimeConfig() inside a regular function (not inside <script setup> or a composable) returns {}. Always call it at the top of <script setup> and capture the value, then use config.public.splitformsKey inside event handlers.

Nuxt gotcha

Nitro Cloudflare preset has 10ms CPU time on the free plan

If you proxy the splitforms call through a Nuxt server route (/server/api/contact.post.ts), the fetch round-trip eats your Cloudflare Worker CPU budget. On Cloudflare Pages Free tier, this can fail under load. Skip the proxy: have the form POST directly to splitforms.com.

Nuxt gotcha

Nuxt Content's <ContentDoc> rendering can break form HTML

If you embed the form in a Markdown file rendered by Nuxt Content, MDC syntax may interpret your inputs as MDC components. Wrap the form in <NuxtContent> (or use :component="ContactForm") instead of inline form HTML.

PATTERN A

Pattern A — direct browser POST from `<script setup>`

No server route. Page reads the access key from useRuntimeConfig().public.splitformsKey. Works identically on every Nitro preset. Use the same wiring for the job application fields on this page.

pattern-a.txtvue18 lines

01<script setup>
02import { ref } from "vue";
03const status = ref("idle");
04const config = useRuntimeConfig();
05async function onSubmit(e) {
06  status.value = "loading";
07  const fd = new FormData(e.target);
08  fd.append("access_key", config.public.splitformsKey);
09  const r = await fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
10  status.value = (await r.json()).success ? "ok" : "err";
11}
12</script>
13<template>
14  <form @submit.prevent="onSubmit">
15    <input name="email" type="email" required />
16    <button :disabled="status === 'loading'">Send</button>
17  </form>
18</template>

PATTERN B

Pattern B — Nitro server route (key stays server-side)

Page posts to /api/contact (a Nitro route) which appends the access key from runtimeConfig.splitformsKey (private) and proxies to splitforms. Adds a hop but the key never reaches the browser bundle. Use the same wiring for the job application fields on this page.

pattern-b.txtvue11 lines

01// server/api/contact.post.ts
02export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
03  const config = useRuntimeConfig();
04  const parts = await readMultipartFormData(event);
05  const fd = new FormData();
06  for (const p of parts ?? []) p.name && fd.append(p.name, p.data.toString("utf8"));
07  fd.append("access_key", config.splitformsKey);
08  const res = await $fetch("https://splitforms.com/api/submit", { method: "POST", body: fd });
09  if (!res.success) throw createError({ statusCode: 400, message: res.message });
10  return { ok: true };
11});

§ 06Questions9 answered

Job Application on Nuxt — FAQ.

Direct answers, no marketing fluff. Missing one? Email hello@splitforms.com.

01Does this job application work on Nuxt?

Yes. The form is plain HTML with a single POST endpoint, so it runs on any Nuxt site without server-side code, plugins, or SDKs. Drop the snippet into a Nuxt page or component and submissions land in your splitforms dashboard.

02How much does the job application cost on Nuxt?

Free for 500 submissions per month — no credit card, no trial. Pro is $5/mo for 5,000 submissions, and there's a one-time $59 3-year plan (15,000 submissions/mo for 36 months). The same pricing applies regardless of which framework hosts the form.

03Can I customize the fields?

Yes. The template ships with sensible defaults (full name, email, position you're applying for, linkedin / portfolio url…) — add, remove, or rename any of them. Splitforms accepts whatever fields you POST.

04How does spam protection work on the job application?

A hidden honeypot field catches dumb bots, and a tuned classifier scores the rest. You only see real submissions in your dashboard. No CAPTCHA, no friction for human users — and it works the same on Nuxt as on any other framework.

05Can I send the job application submissions to Slack or Discord?

Yes. Webhooks are available on Starter and above, with auto-formatted payloads for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp (via CallMeBot). Or send raw signed JSON to any URL — Zapier, n8n, your own server. Configure in the splitforms dashboard.

06Will it work on a static Nuxt site?

Yes — the form posts directly to splitforms from the browser, so no server is involved. Works on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, S3, or any plain Apache host.

07Is this EEOC / OFCCP compliant?

If you're under the regulated thresholds (15 employees for most EEOC requirements; federal contractor for OFCCP), basic forms are fine. If you're regulated, you need to collect voluntary self-ID demographics on a separate page (race, gender, veteran, disability) with explicit non-discrimination language. Your employment lawyer should review the final flow.

08How do I avoid resume-spam from staffing agencies?

Hidden honeypot field plus splitforms' spam classifier catches most. For persistent agency spam, add a 'are you applying directly or through an agency?' radio — direct applications get the role-specific reply; agency applications get a 'we don't accept third-party submissions' auto-response.

09Should I require a cover letter?

For senior or specialised roles, yes — quality goes up with the friction. For volume hiring (support, ops, junior eng), no — required cover letters drop application count 60-80% and the cover-letter quality is mostly noise anyway. Tune by role.
