A Nuxt module for Google Tag Manager

Nuxt GTM

npm versionnpm downloadsLicenseNuxt

Nuxt Google Tag Manager module integrated with the Nuxt Devtools for Nuxt 3.

This library is an Nuxt 3 module wrapper of the @gtm-support/vue-gtm plugin

Quick Setup

  1. Add @zadigetvoltaire/nuxt-gtm dependency to your project
# Using pnpm
pnpm add -D @zadigetvoltaire/nuxt-gtm

# Using yarn
yarn add --dev @zadigetvoltaire/nuxt-gtm

# Using npm
npm install --save-dev @zadigetvoltaire/nuxt-gtm
  1. Add @zadigetvoltaire/nuxt-gtm to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    '@zadigetvoltaire/nuxt-gtm'
  ],
})
  1. Add configuration in nuxtConfig.gtm or in nuxtConfig.runtimeConfig.public.gtm

This module supports 2 ways of configuration:

  • Directly in key gtm of the Nuxt config
  • In public runtimeConfig: useful to override the config with environment variables and handle multiple environments
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  ...
  gtm: {
    id: 'GTM-xxxxxx', // Your GTM single container ID, array of container ids ['GTM-xxxxxx', 'GTM-yyyyyy'] or array of objects [{id: 'GTM-xxxxxx', queryParams: { gtm_auth: 'abc123', gtm_preview: 'env-4', gtm_cookies_win: 'x'}}, {id: 'GTM-yyyyyy', queryParams: {gtm_auth: 'abc234', gtm_preview: 'env-5', gtm_cookies_win: 'x'}}], // Your GTM single container ID or array of container ids ['GTM-xxxxxx', 'GTM-yyyyyy']
    queryParams: {
      // Add URL query string when loading gtm.js with GTM ID (required when using custom environments)
      gtm_auth: 'AB7cDEf3GHIjkl-MnOP8qr',
      gtm_preview: 'env-4',
      gtm_cookies_win: 'x',
    },
    defer: false, // Script can be set to `defer` to speed up page load at the cost of less accurate results (in case visitor leaves before script is loaded, which is unlikely but possible). Defaults to false, so the script is loaded `async` by default
    compatibility: false, // Will add `async` and `defer` to the script tag to not block requests for old browsers that do not support `async`
    nonce: '2726c7f26c', // Will add `nonce` to the script tag
    enabled: true, // defaults to true. Plugin can be disabled by setting this to false for Ex: enabled: !!GDPR_Cookie (optional)
    debug: true, // Whether or not display console logs debugs (optional)
    loadScript: true, // Whether or not to load the GTM Script (Helpful if you are including GTM manually, but need the dataLayer functionality in your components) (optional)
    enableRouterSync: true, // Pass the router instance of your app to automatically sync with router (optional)
    ignoredViews: ['homepage'], // Don't trigger events for specified router names (optional)
    trackOnNextTick: false, // Whether or not call trackView in Vue.nextTick
    devtools: true, // (optional)
  }
  ...
  runtimeConfig: {
    public: {
      gtm: {
        id: 'GTM-xxxxxx',
        queryParams: {
          gtm_auth: 'AB7cDEf3GHIjkl-MnOP8qr',
          gtm_preview: 'env-4',
          gtm_cookies_win: 'x',
        },
        defer: false,
        compatibility: false,
        nonce: '2726c7f26c',
        enabled: true,
        debug: true,
        loadScript: true,
        enableRouterSync: true,
        ignoredViews: ['homepage'],
        trackOnNextTick: false,
        devtools: true,
      }
    }
  }
})

Documentation

Please refer to the @gtm-support/vue-gtm documentation

Composition API - useGtm composable

Example:

<template>
  <button @click="triggerEvent">
    Trigger event!
  </button>
  <button @click="triggerView">
    Trigger event!
  </button>
</template>

<script lang="ts" setup>
  const gtm = useGtm() // auto-imported by the module

  function triggerEvent() {
    gtm.trackEvent({
      event: 'event name',
      category: 'category',
      action: 'click',
      label: 'My custom component trigger',
      value: 5000,
      noninteraction: false,
    })
  }

  function triggerView() {
    gtm.trackView('Home', '/')
  }
</script>

Options API

export default {
  methods: {
    triggerEvent() {
      this.$gtm.trackEvent({
        event: 'event name',
        category: 'category',
        action: 'click',
        label: 'My custom component trigger',
        value: 5000,
        noninteraction: false,
      })
    }
  }
}

Modules options

The modules inherit the options of the plugin @gtm-support/vue-gtm, except vueRouter entry replaced by enableRouterSync.
