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',
      autoPageView: true,
      disabled: false
    }],
 ]
}

or even

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

Automatically track PageView

By default, the module won't trigger any tracking event on route change. To enable this behaviour, you must specify the autoPageView option and set to true in the Nuxt module options.

{
  modules: [
    'nuxt-facebook-pixel-module',
  ],
  facebook: {
    /* module options */
    pixelId: 'FACEBOOK_PIXEL_ID',
    autoPageView: true
  },
}

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()

The pixel can be disabled again later on by using the .disable() method.

Multiple pixel codes according to route

It's possible to use multiple pixel codes according to the user's route. This can be made through the pixels property. The pixels property expects an array of options.

{
  modules: [
    'nuxt-facebook-pixel-module',
  ],
  facebook: {
    pixelId: 'DEFAULT_PIXEL_ID',
    pixels: [
      {
        pixelId: 'FACEBOOK_PIXEL_ID',
        routes: [
          '/my-custom-route',
          '/hello/*'
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
}

Per this example, whenever the user is on the /my-custom-route, it will use the FACEBOOK_PIXEL_ID instead of the DEFAULT_PIXEL_ID. For all the other routes, it will use the default one.

Note : Since the pixels property is an array of options, any other valid option (track, manualMode, ...) can be passed.

Advanced Matching

To send custom user data when initializing the FB Pixel you'll have to disable the plugin in your Nuxt config file and enable it once you've set the user data.

Run the following from your Vue component once you've access to the user data:

this.$fb.setUserData({ external_id: 32323, fn: 'John' })
this.$fb.enable()
