Cookie Consent

This is an internationalized (vue-i18n) Cookie Consent component for vue 3.

The first category must be the essentials category. Only Cookies in this first category are accepted per default and can't be declined. Also, no handlers (onAccepted, onDenied) are called for cookies of this category.

All Cookies of other categories are declined per default.

For each Cookie you can pass optional onAccepted and onDenied functions, to hand in some code, which will be executed after save selection or save all is clicked.

Translations for the passed categories and cookies must be provided, when switching a language.

Only the translation file for the current language value is fetched and further translations gets loaded, when switching the language with vue-i18n.

The legacy flag of i18n must be set to false:

const i18n = createI18n({
  legacy: false
})

Global Consents Object

Before the component gets mounted to the DOM, a global Consents object is attached to the window object and, therefore, can be globally accessed.

For the object to get attached to the window object the component property attachGlobal must be set to true!

Properties

• Consents.hasAccepted: has consent already been given?
• Consents.ids: an array of objects with 2 keys each (categoryId and cookieId)
• Consents.storagePrefix: the storage prefix passed to the component (default: consent)
• Consents.storageKey: the storage key passed to the component used as the cookie name and localStorage key (default: consents)

Functions

• Consents.set(categoryId: string, cookieId: string, value: boolean): boolean
  Set a consent (Without saving)
• Consents.get(categoryId: string, cookieId: string): boolean
  Receive the current consent for a Cookie
• Consents.clear()
  Remove the Consents from the localStorage, delete the Cookie and call all onDenied() functions

Component properties

interface Props {
  categories: Array<Category>;
  requiredLinks: RequiredLinksProps;
    
  links?: Array<Link>;
  useMetaCookie?: boolean; // false
  attachGlobal?: boolean; // false
  animationDuration?: string; // '1.5s'
  minimizeAnimationDuration?: string; // '1s'
  hideDuration?: string; // '1s'
  storagePrefix?: string; // 'consent'
  storageKey?: string; // 'consents'
  maskContent?: boolean; // true
  maskColor?: string; // '#47494E'
}

categories and the privacy and imprint links are required component properties.

To add more links to the bottom of the main component view, you can provide additional links.

By default, the consent is persisted to the localStorage. To also set a cookie, set useMetaCookie to true.

The global consents object is not attached per default. Set attachGlobal to true if you need to use the global object.

animationDuration, minimizeAnimationDuration and hideDuration can be set to change the default animation durations.

With storagePrefix and storageKey the keys for persistence can be changed.

By default, the content of the page gets masked when the consent appears. To disable the masking, set maskContent to false; to change the mask color, set a color with maskColor.
