# `definePageMeta`
2022-10-07 20:39:38 +00:00
`definePageMeta` is a compiler macro that you can use to set metadata for your **page** components located in the `pages/` directory (unless [set otherwise](https://v3.nuxtjs.org/api/configuration/nuxt-config#pages)). This way you can set custom metadata for each static or dynamic route of your Nuxt application.
```vue [pages/some-page.vue]
<script setup>
definePageMeta({
title: 'Articles'
})
</script>
```

## Type
```ts
definePageMeta(meta: PageMeta) => void
interface PageMeta {
validate?: (route: RouteLocationNormalized) => boolean | Promise<boolean> | Partial<NuxtError> | Promise<Partial<NuxtError>>
redirect?: RouteRecordRedirectOption
alias?: string | string[]
pageTransition?: boolean | TransitionProps
layoutTransition?: boolean | TransitionProps
key?: false | string | ((route: RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded) => string)
keepalive?: boolean | KeepAliveProps
layout?: false | LayoutKey | Ref<LayoutKey> | ComputedRef<LayoutKey>
middleware?: MiddlewareKey | NavigationGuard | Array<MiddlewareKey | NavigationGuard>
[key: string]: any
}
```
## Parameters
### `meta`
- **Type**: `PageMeta`
An object accepting the following page metadata:
**`alias`**
- **Type**: `string | string[]`
Aliases for the record. Allows defining extra paths that will behave like a copy of the record. Allows having paths shorthands like `/users/:id` and `/u/:id`. All `alias` and `path` values must share the same params.
**`keepalive`**
- **Type**: `boolean` | [`KeepAliveProps`](https://vuejs.org/api/built-in-components.html#keepalive)
Set to `true` when you want to preserve page state across route changes or use the [`KeepAliveProps`](https://vuejs.org/api/built-in-components.html#keepalive) for a fine-grained control.
**`key`**
- **Type**: `false` | `string` | `((route: RouteLocationNormalizedLoaded) => string)`
Set `key` value when you need more control over when the `<NuxtPage>` component is re-rendered.
**`layout`**
- **Type**: `false` | `LayoutKey` | `Ref<LayoutKey>` | `ComputedRef<LayoutKey>`
Set a static or dynamic name of the layout for each route. This can be set to `false` in case the default layout needs to be disabled.
**`layoutTransition`**
- **Type**: `boolean` | [`TransitionProps`](https://vuejs.org/api/built-in-components.html#transition)
Set name of the transition to apply for current layout. You can also set this value to `false` to disable the layout transition.
**`middleware`**
- **Type**: `MiddlewareKey` | [`NavigationGuard`](https://router.vuejs.org/api/interfaces/NavigationGuard.html#navigationguard) | `Array<MiddlewareKey | NavigationGuard>`
Define anonymous or named middleware directly within `definePageMeta`. Learn more about [route middleware](/guide/directory-structure/middleware).
**`pageTransition`**
- **Type**: `boolean` | [`TransitionProps`](https://vuejs.org/api/built-in-components.html#transition)
Set name of the transition to apply for current page. You can also set this value to `false` to disable the page transition.
**`redirect`**
- **Type**: [`RouteRecordRedirectOption`](https://router.vuejs.org/guide/essentials/redirect-and-alias.html#redirect-and-alias)
Where to redirect if the route is directly matched. The redirection happens before any navigation guard and triggers a new navigation with the new target location.
:StabilityEdge
**`validate`**
- **Type**: `(route: RouteLocationNormalized) => boolean | Promise<boolean> | Partial<NuxtError> | Promise<Partial<NuxtError>>`
Validate whether a given route can validly be rendered with this page. Return true if it is valid, or false if not. If another match can't be found, this will mean a 404. You can also directly return an object with `statusCode`/`statusMessage` to respond immediately with an error (other matches will not be checked).
:StabilityEdge
**`[key: string]`**
- **Type**: `any`
Apart from the above properties, you can also set **custom** metadata. You may wish to do so in a type-safe way by [augmenting the type of the `meta` object](/guide/directory-structure/pages/#typing-custom-metadata).
## Examples
### Basic Usage
The example below demonstrates:
- how `key` can be a function that returns a value;
- how `keepalive` property makes sure that the `<modal>` component is not cached when switching between multiple components;
- adding `pageType` as a custom property:
```vue [pages/some-page.vue]
<script setup>
definePageMeta({
key: (route) => route.fullPath,
keepalive: {
exclude: ['modal']
},
pageType: 'Checkout'
})
</script>
```
### Defining Middleware
The example below shows how the middleware can be defined using a `function` directly within the `definePageMeta` or set as a `string` that matches the middleware file name located in the `middleware/` directory:
```vue [pages/some-page.vue]
<script setup>
definePageMeta({
// define middleware as a function
middleware: [
function (to, from) {
const auth = useState('auth')
if (!auth.value.authenticated) {
return navigateTo('/login')
}
return navigateTo('/checkout')
}
],
// ... or a string
middleware: 'auth'
// ... or multiple strings
middleware: ['auth', 'another-named-middleware']
})
</script>
```
### Defining Layout
You can define the layout that matches the layout's file name located (by default) in the `layouts/` directory. You can also disable the layout by setting the `layout` to `false`:
```vue [pages/some-page.vue]
<script setup>
definePageMeta({
// set custom layout
layout: 'admin'
// ... or disable a default layout
layout: false
})
</script>
```
