useHead customizes the head properties of individual pages of your Nuxt app.

`useHead`

Nuxt provides the useHead composable to add and customize the head properties of individual pages of your Nuxt app. It uses @vueuse/head under the hood.

::alert{icon=👉} useHead only works during setup or Lifecycle Hooks. ::

Type

useHead(meta: Computable<MetaObject>): void

interface MetaObject extends Record<string, any> {
  charset?: string
  viewport?: string
  meta?: Array<Record<string, any>>
  link?: Array<Record<string, any>>
  style?: Array<Record<string, any>>
  script?: Array<Record<string, any>>
  noscript?: Array<Record<string, any>>
  titleTemplate?: string | ((title: string) => string)
  title?: string
  bodyAttrs?: Record<string, any>
  htmlAttrs?: Record<string, any>
}

Application-wide configuration of the head metadata is possible through nuxt.config, or by placing the useHead in the app.vue file.

::alert{type=info} The properties of useHead can be dynamic, accepting ref, computed and reactive properties. meta parameter can also accept a function returning an object to make the entire object reactive. ::

Parameters

`meta`

Type: MetaObject

An object accepting the following head metadata:

charset

Type: string

Default: utf-8

Specifies character encoding for the HTML document.
viewport

Type: string

Default: width=device-width, initial-scale=1

Configures the viewport (the user's visible area of a web page).
meta

Type: Array<Record<string, any>>

Default: width=device-width, initial-scale=1

Each element in the array is mapped to a newly-created <meta> tag, where object properties are mapped to the corresponding attributes.
link

Type: Array<Record<string, any>>

Each element in the array is mapped to a newly-created <link> tag, where object properties are mapped to the corresponding attributes.
style

Type: Array<Record<string, any>>

Each element in the array is mapped to a newly-created <style> tag, where object properties are mapped to the corresponding attributes.
script

Type: Array<Record<string, any>>

Each element in the array is mapped to a newly-created <script> tag, where object properties are mapped to the corresponding attributes.
noscript

Type: Array<Record<string, any>>

Each element in the array is mapped to a newly-created <noscript> tag, where object properties are mapped to the corresponding attributes.
titleTemplate

Type: string | ((title: string) => string)

Configures dynamic template to customize the page title on an individual page.
title

Type: string

Sets static page title on an individual page.
bodyAttrs

Type: Record<string, any>

Sets attributes of the <body> tag. Each object property is mapped to the corresponding attribute.
htmlAttrs

Type: Record<string, any>

Sets attributes of the <html> tag. Each object property is mapped to the corresponding attribute.

Examples

Customize Metadata

The example below changes the website's title and description using meta option of the useHead composable:

<script setup>
  const title = ref('My App')
  const description = ref('My amazing Nuxt app')

  useHead({
    title,
    meta: [
      {
        name: 'description',
        content: description
      }
    ]
  })
</script>

Add Dynamic Title

In the example below, titleTemplate is set either as a string with the %s placeholder or as a function, which allows greater flexibility in setting the page title dynamically for each route of your Nuxt app:

<script setup>
  useHead({
    // as a string,
    // where `%s` is replaced with the title
    titleTemplate: '%s - Site Title',
    // ... or as a function 
    titleTemplate: (productCategory) => {
      return productCategory
        ? `${productCategory} - Site Title`
        : 'Site Title'
    }
  })
</script>

nuxt.config is also used as an alternative way of setting the page title. However, nuxt.config does not allow the page title to be dynamic. Therefore, it is recommended to use titleTemplate in the app.vue file to add a dynamic title, which is then applied to all routes of your Nuxt app.

Add External CSS

The example below inserts Google Fonts using the link property of the useHead composable:

<script setup>  
  useHead({
    link: [
      { 
        rel: 'preconnect', 
        href: 'https://fonts.googleapis.com'
      },
      { 
        rel: 'stylesheet', 
        href: 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto&display=swap', 
        crossorigin: '' 
      }
    ]
  })
</script>

Add Third-party Script

The example below inserts a third-party script using the script property of the useHead composable:

<script setup>
  useHead({
    script: [
      {
        src: 'https://third-party-script.com',
        body: true
      }
    ]
  })
</script>

You can use the body: true option to add the above script at the end of the <body> tag.
