Getting Started

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

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

    // With options
    ['nuxt-linkedin-pixel-module', {
      /* module options */
      partnerId: 'LINKEDIN_PIXEL_ID',
      disabled: false
    }],
 ]
}

or even

{
  modules: [
    'nuxt-linkedin-pixel-module',
  ],
  linkedin: {
    /* module options */
    partnerId: 'LINKEDIN_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-linkedin-pixel-module',
  ],
  linkedin: {
    ...
    disabled: true
  },
}

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

this.$li.enable()

Module options

List of possible options in the module:

| Option | Default | Required | Description | |----------|----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | partnerId | null | true | The unique insight tag ID (usually 6 digits) identifier provided by LinkedIn (can be located within the Set up your insight Tag dialog displayed as: __linkedin_partner_id = "xxxxxx";. | | disabled | false | false | Disable the Pixel by default when initialized. Can be enabled later through $li.enable().
