Google AdSense

Google AdSense integration for Nuxt.js. Advertisements will update whenever the page route changes

Setup

  • Add @nuxtjs/google-adsense dependency using yarn or npm to your project
  • Add @nuxtjs/google-adsense to modules section of nuxt.config.js
{
  modules: [
    // Simple usage
    ['@nuxtjs/google-adsense', {
      id: 'ca-pub-###########'
    }]
 ]
}

Using top level options:

{
  modules: [
    ['@nuxtjs/google-adsense']
  ],

 googleAdsense: {
    id: 'ca-pub-#########'
  }
}

Using runtime config:

{
  modules: [
    ['@nuxtjs/google-adsense']
  ],

  googleAdsense: {
    onPageLoad: false,
    pageLevelAds: false,
  },

  publicRuntimeConfig: {
    googleAdsense: {
      id: process.env.GOOGLE_ADSENSE_ID,
      test: process.env.GOOGLE_ADSENSE_TEST_MODE === 'true',
    },
  },
}

The asynchronous ad code (//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js) is automatically added to the <head> section of your pages.

testBooleanForce AdSense into test mode (see below).

Test mode

The AdSense module will automatically switch to test mode when running Nuxt in dev mode. But you can keep test mode on in production by setting the configuration option test to true.

Test mode uses a test publisher ID, so that you will not be violating AdSense TOS.

Note that test advertisements will typically appear as an empty space, but will have the correct dimensions (i.e. will occupy the correct space needed by the rendered ad).

Usage

Insert the <Adsbygoogle /> component wherever you would like an advertisement placed.

You should place the <Adsbygoogle /> component inside a container element that has a specified (min/max) width and (min/max) height (which can be based on media queries), or use style or classes on the <Adsbygoogle /> component to restrict the advertisement to a specific size (or sizes).

Use the ad-slot property to specify your Google AdSense ad slot value (specified as a string).

Please refer to the adsense documentation for more info. Google Adsense Documentation

Component props:

proptypedescription
ad-slotStringGoogle Adsense adslot. This prop is required when not in test mode. Refer to your AdSense account for ad-slot values.
ad-formatStringOptional. Refer to the AdSense docs for other options
ad-styleObjectStyles to apply to the rendered <ins> element. Default: { display: 'block' }. Refer to VueJS style binding docs for the Object format.

analytics-domain-nameStringGoogle Analytics Account domain (if linking analytics with AdSense, i.e. example.com). Defaults to the value specified in the plugin option analyticsDomainName.

Component exposed internal data | name | type | description | ____ | ____ | ___________ |showAd | method | Trigger the show ad method to show the ad. | updateAd | method | Trigger the update ad method to refresh the ad. | isUnfilled | computed ref | Tracks unfilled attribute on ad element. Returns true if data-ad-state = 'unfilled'.

Automatic updating of Ads

Whenever your route changes or optionally if your route query parameters change, any displayed ads will update, just as they would on normal page loads.

Caveats:

  • Caution: Reloading of ads arbitrarily (with minimal page content changes) may result in the suspension of your AdSense account. Refer to AdSense for full terms of use.
  • Google needs to crawl each page where ads appear. Ensure your site SSR renders any page where ads appear. Ads on un-crawlable pages will not be shown.
  • When placing ads on pages that require authentication, set page-url on the <Adsbygoogle /> component to the URL of a page on your site that is publicly accessible, which would have similar/relevant content.

Background

This module uses a technique developed by the Angular team (with help from Google AdSense) to handle updating ads on progressive web applications:

Each time a new advertisement is requested, the AdSense parameter data-ad-region is updated to a random value. For this reason, you cannot set the data-ad-region attribute on the <Adsbygoogle /> component.
