Getting Started

Add nuxt-fb-pixel-module to modules section of nuxt.config.js.

{
  modules: [
    // Simple usage
    'nuxt-fb-pixel-module',

    // With options
    ['nuxt-fb-pixel-module', {
      /* module options */
      track: 'PageView',
      pixelId: 'FACEBOOK_PIXEL_ID',
      disabled: false
    }],
 ]
}

or even

{
  modules: [
    'nuxt-fb-pixel-module',
  ],
  facebook: {
    /* module options */
    track: 'PageView',
    pixelId: 'FACEBOOK_PIXEL_ID',
    disabled: false
  },
}

Disabling the pixel (for GDPR)

If you'd like to install the pixel disabled, and enable it later after the user has consented to its use, you can do so by setting disabled: true in the pixel configuration:

{
  modules: [
    'nuxt-fb-pixel-module',
  ],
  facebook: {
    ...
    disabled: true
  },
}

Now, in your component, you can call the following in order to start the pixel and track the current page.

this.$fb.enable()

Module options

List of possible options in the module:

| Option | Default | Required | Description | |----------|----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | pixelId | null | true | The unique pixel identifier provided by Facebook. | | track | PageView | false | Default tracking event. | | version | 2.0 | false | Tracking version. | | disabled | false | false | Disable the Pixel by default when initialized. Can be enabled later through $fb.enable().

Facebook pixel instance

The tracking pixel instance is available on all vue component instances as $fb. It has the following methods:

| Method | Purpose | Equivalent to | |-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------| | enable() | If you had previously set disabled: true in config, enables the pixel and tracks the current page view | $fb.init(), $fb.track() | | init(pixelId?) | Initialises the pixel | fbq('init', <options.pixelId>) | | track(event, parameters) | Sends a track event with optional parameters. It's PageView by default if the event is not defined. | fbq('track', <options.track>, parameters) | | query(key, value, parameters) | Call the underlying fbq instance with anything else. The parameters attribute is optional. | fbq(key, value, parameters) |
