Getting Started

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

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

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

or even

{
  modules: [
    'nuxt-facebook-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-facebook-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()	Initialises the pixel	fbq('init', <options.pixelId>)
track()	Sends a track event	fbq('track', <options.track>)
query(key, value)	Call the underlying fbq instance with anything else	fbq(key, value)
