Nuxt.js: ReferenceError baseURL is not defined

Question

I have a Nuxt.js app. I want to read a local JSON file located in the static/ folder.

I have in my nuxt.config.js file:

module.exports = {                                                                                                                                                       
    modules: [                                                                                                                                                           
        ['@nuxtjs/axios', {                                                                                                                                              
            baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000',                                                                                                                            
            browserBaseURL: 'http://localhost:3000'                                                                                                                      

        }]                                                                                                                                                               
    ],                                                                                                                                                                   

    axios: {                                                                                                                                                             
        // proxyHeaders: false                                                                                                                                           
        baseURL: "http://localhost:3000/"                                                                                                                                
    },        

In my pages/index.vue:

     }                                                                                                                                                                 

}       
</script>

I am getting this error:

 ReferenceError
 baseURL is not defined

Screenshot:

When I hard code the URL:

async asyncData({ app }) {                                    
        const data = await app.$axios.$get('http://localhost:3000/static/db.json')                                                                                     
        return { data }                                                                                                                                                    
    }    

I get this error message instead:

NuxtServerError
Request failed with status code 404

Any help?

You don't need to add baseURL into axios call if you set it into module options. It will be prepended automatically.

And thats not how it work. If u define something in config it dont appear magically in your code. Anything you reference should be defined or imported.
