Vuex

Cookiefy uses Vuex Store to handle state. Vuex has to be installed or Cookiefy wont work. For Vue.js you can use the Vue CLI to add Vuex with one command:

vue add vuex

Installation

npm install vue-cookiefy

Usage

Vue.js

First go to your main.js file and register Cookiefy

// main.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Cookiefy from 'vue-cookiefy'

Vue.use(Cookiefy)

Then you can add Cookiefy in any of your components

// YourComponent.vue
<template>
  <div>
    <Cookiefy 
      v-model="cookiefy" 
    />
  </div>
</template>
<script>

export default {
  name: 'YourComponent',
  
  data() {
    return {
      cookiefy: true,
    }
  },
}
</script>

Nuxt.js

For Nuxt.js we will create a simple plugin to inject the Cookiefy component into your app. First create a file named cookiefy.js in your @/plugins folder.

// @/plugins/cookiefy.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Cookiefy from 'vue-cookiefy'

Vue.use(Cookiefy)

Then register the plugin in your Nuxt.js configuration file nuxt.config.js

// nuxt.config.js 
export default {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    '@/plugins/cookiefy.js'
  ],
  // ...
}

Now you can use <Cookiefy /> in any of your components.

Custom fields

You can easily define your cookies and privacy text as fields using the cookieFields & privacyFields props.

// YourComponent.vue
<template>
  <div>
    <Cookiefy 
      v-model="cookiefy"
      :cookieFields="cookieFields"
      :privacyFields="privacyFields"
    />
  </div>
</template>
<script>
  export default {
    name: 'YourComponent',
    
    data() {
      return {
        cookiefy: true,
        cookieFields: [
          {
            text: 'Essential Cookies',
            checked: true,
            readonly: true,
          },
          {
            text: 'Google Analytics',
            checked: true,
            readonly: true,
          },
        ],
        privacyFields: [
          {
            title: 'Essential Cookies',
            text:
              'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Optio id sed quas corporis...',
          },
          {
            title: 'Google Analytics',
            text:
              'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Optio id sed quas corporis...',
          },
        ],
      }
    },
  }
</script>

Events

Event	Description	Return
`@accept`	On user clicks accept	Returns an `Array` which contains all fields and results of the user selection

<template>
  <div>
    <Cookiefy 
      // ...
      @accept="onAccept" 
    />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    name: 'YourComponent',

    // ...
    
    methods: {
      // this method is called when the user accepts 
      onAccept(fields) {
        // handle response here
      }
    },
  }
</script>

Response Structure

The @accept event returns all defined fields as an Array.

// The returned Array of fields is structured like this
[
  {
    text: 'Essential Cookies', 
    checked: true,
  },
  {
    text: 'Google Analytics', 
    checked: true
  },
  // ...
]

Now after you got the user response you can set your Cookies safely.

Custom Language

You can easily change the language/text of the elements by using the lang prop.

<template>
  <div>
    <Cookiefy 
      // ...
      :lang="lang"
    />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    name: 'YourComponent',
    
    data() {
      return {
        // ...
        lang: {
          acceptAll: 'Alle akzeptieren',
          asSelected: 'Wie Auswahl',
          info: 'Mehr',
          close: 'Schließen',
          infoTitle: 'Informationen',
        },
      },
    }
</script>
