feat: Initial upgrade to Nuxt 3

[StanleyMasinde]

This commit includes the initial automated steps to upgrade the project from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3.

Key changes:

• Initialized a Nuxt 3 project structure.
• Migrated components, pages, layouts, and static assets.
• Updated dependencies to Nuxt 3 compatible versions (e.g., Vuetify 3, Sidebase Nuxt Auth, Vite PWA).
• Migrated Express backend structure to Nuxt 3 server routes (placeholder API files created in server/api/).
• Created a new nuxt.config.ts with configurations for TypeScript, Vuetify, Auth, and PWA.
• Performed initial structural updates to application code:
  • Moved Vuex store to 'stores/' for Pinia migration.
  • Wrapped plugins with defineNuxtPlugin.
  • Moved error.vue to project root.
• Set up basic testing infrastructure:
  • Performed type checking (type errors identified for manual fixing).
  • Installed Vitest and created basic configuration.
• Updated package.json scripts for Nuxt 3 (nuxi).
• Provided templates and guidance for updating deploy.sh, ecosystem.config.js, and Docker files.

Further work required:

• Extensive manual refactoring of all Vue components, pages, layouts, and Pinia stores to be Vue 3 / Nuxt 3 compatible.
• Detailed implementation of all server API routes in server/api/ using Nitro, including database logic with Knex.
• Thorough testing of all application functionality.
• Resolution of all TypeScript errors.
• Adaptation and verification of deployment scripts and Docker configuration.

stores/README.md:5

• [nitpick] Update this README to reflect Pinia usage instead of Vuex now that the store directory uses Pinia defineStore.

This directory contains your Vuex Store files.

server/utils/statsController.legacy.js:3

• Class name should follow PascalCase: rename Statscontroller to StatsController for consistency.

class Statscontroller extends Controller {

tests/unit/example.test.ts:7

• This test only asserts a trivial boolean. Consider adding real component or store tests to cover meaningful functionality.
