Setup

🚀 Try it online

Step 1: Install and add to Nuxt

Install using your favorite package manager...

pnpm add nuxt-umami #pnpm

npm install nuxt-umami #npm

Then add nuxt-umami to your extends array in nuxt.config:

defineNuxtConfig({
  extends: ['nuxt-umami']
});

Or, you can totally skip the installation process and do

defineNuxtConfig({
  extends: ['github:ijkml/nuxt-umami']
});

Step 2: Configure Umami

You can provide configuration options using the app.config.ts file or appConfig property of the Nuxt config.

app.config.ts file

(recommended for readability and ease of update)

export default defineAppConfig({
  umami: {
  // ...umami config here
  },
});

appConfig property

defineNuxtConfig({
  extends: ['nuxt-umami'],
  appConfig: {
    umami: {
      // ...umami config here
    },
  },
});

Environment Variables

!NOTE Available in ^2.1.0 and takes precedence over appConfig.

You can provide the host and id config (only) as environment variables. Simply add NUXT_PUBLIC_UMAMI_HOST and NUXT_PUBLIC_UMAMI_ID to your .env file, and that's it.

NUXT_PUBLIC_UMAMI_HOST="https://domain.tld"
NUXT_PUBLIC_UMAMI_ID="abc123-456def-ghi789"

Step 3:

<script setup>
function complexCalc() {
  // ... do something
  umTrackEvent('complex-btn', { propA: 1, propB: 'two', propC: false });
}
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="umTrackEvent('button-1')">
    Button 1
  </button>

  <button @click="complexCalc">
    Button 2
  </button>
</template>

Configuration

Usage

Two functions are auto-imported, umTrackView() and umTrackEvent(). Use them however and wherever you like. These functions work even in <script setup> without the onMounted hook. The v-umami directive can be enabled in the config.

Available Methods

• umTrackView(url, referrer)

  • url: the path being tracked, eg /about, /contact?by=phone#office. This can be correctly inferred. Equivalent of router.fullPath.
  • referrer: the page referrer. This can be correctly inferred. Equivalent of document.referrer or the ref search param in the url (eg: example.com/?ref=thereferrer).

• umTrackEvent(eventName, eventData)

  • eventName: a string type text
  • eventData: an object in the format {key: value}, where key is a string and value is a string, number, or boolean.

Reference: Umami Tracker Functions.

Method Return

Both umTrackEvent and umTrackView return a Promise with an ok status that you can await or chain, Promise<{ok: boolean}>.

umTrackView().then(res => console.log(res.ok));

umTrackView().then(({ ok }) => console.log(ok));

Vue Directive

!NOTE Available from ^2.5.0. Add useDirective: true to your config.

You can pass a string as the event name, or an object containing a name property (required, this is the event name). Every other property will be passed on as event data.

<button v-umami="'Event-Name'">
  Event Button
</button>

<button v-umami="{name: 'Event-Name'}">
  as object
</button>

<button v-umami="{name: 'Event-Name', position: 'left', ...others}">
  with event details
</button>

FAQS and Quirks

• I don't see errors in live sites...
  • If you're debugging live sites, set debug: true in your config.
• Can I use Umami v2/Cloud?
  • Yes. To use Umami v2, set version: 2 in the Nuxt-Umami config.
• nuxt typecheck fails! What can I do to resolve it?
  • The problem could be tied to pnpm's dependency hoisting. Thanks to Jeet for discovering this. Simply create a .npmrc file in the root of your Nuxt project and add shamefully-hoist=true. If that doesn't work, I'll be happy to look further into it.
• Welp, I am getting some CORS errors!
  • Some adblockers like uBlock and Ghostery block Umami Cloud's endpoints. Try to disable your adblockers (yes, all of them). Also, double-check your config and Umami version. If all else fails, host your own Umami instance.
• How do I set up my own Umami instance?
  • Miracle Onyenma published a simple guide in his blog. Check it out.
• Should I sponsor this project?
  • Absolutely, you can do that here: https://github.com/sponsors/ijkml.
