I'm trying to start a new project in the Nuxt JS framework with
npx create-nuxt-app project-name
After completing the installation I realized some of the directories are missing. Missing directories are - layouts, middleware, plugins, and assets. At first, I thought I did something wrong then I tried second and third times and the result is the same. I searched their official documentation and GitHub issue about this problem but I didn't found anything.
The latest version of Nuxt is more simple and do have less boilerplate, it follows a simpler tutorial design (to probably lose less users on the road).
You can still add those yourself and it'll work perfectly fine!
This is probably because of Nuxt3 approach and the will to make teach things in a more minimalistic way.

An official answer from Atinux can also be found here: https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app/issues/821#issuecomment-877653294
Also, everything is still explained in the README.md, with various links to the official documentation.
You can fix non working layouts directory like so:
update your package.json file with "nuxt": "^2.15.8"
See also: https://nuxtjs.org/docs/release-notes
and run npm install
and your layouts folder will work again.
had the same problem. the project nuxt version was 2.15.7. actually the layout page property does not recognize layouts directory and updating nuxt version to 2.15.8 solved it.
