# Updating headers with Nuxt.js
Nuxt.js uses [`vue-meta`](https://github.com/declandewet/vue-meta) to update the `headers` and `html attributes` of your applications.
Nuxt.js configures `vue-meta` with these options:
```js
{
keyName: 'head', // the component option name that vue-meta looks for meta info on.
attribute: 'n-head', // the attribute name vue-meta adds to the tags it observes
ssrAttribute: 'n-head-ssr', // the attribute name that lets vue-meta know that meta info has already been server-rendered
tagIDKeyName: 'hid' // the property name that vue-meta uses to determine whether to overwrite or append a tag
}
```
## Updating the title
To update the title of the page, just add `head.title` in your page component.
`pages/index.vue`
```html
<template>
<h1>Home page 🚀</h1>
</template>
<script>
export default {
head: {
title: 'Home page 🚀'
}
}
</script>
```
## Meta tags and more
To know the list of options you can give to `head`, take a look at [`vue-meta` documentation](https://github.com/declandewet/vue-meta#recognized-metainfo-properties).
## Using `data` values inside `head`
You might want to use the component data to display different headers, like a post title for example. Just use `head` as a function and you can use `this` inside to access your component data.
Example of displaying the post title:
```html
<script>
export default {
data ({ params }) {
// fetch the post from the API
return axios.get(`https://my-api/posts/${params.id}`)
.then((res) => {
return { title: res.data.title }
})
},
head () {
return {
title: this.title
}
}
}
</script>
```
## Defaults metas
Nuxt.js let you define all the defaults metas for your application inside the `nuxt.config.js`, use the same field `head`:
```js
module.exports = {
head: {
titleTemplate: '%s - Nuxt.js',
meta: [
{ charset: 'utf-8' },
{ name: 'viewport', content: 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' },
{ hid: 'description', name: 'description', content: 'Meta description' }
]
}
}
```
## Demo
```bash
npm install
npm start
```
Go to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) and navigate trough the app. Notice how the page's title changes between the pages and is also server-side rendered.
