Nuxt Umami

Integrate Umami Analytics into your Nuxt websites / applications.

Heads up: This version uses features (Nuxt Layers) that are only available in Nuxt 3. Check out Nuxt Umami v1 for Nuxt 2 compat.

Features

📖 Open Source
✨ SSR Support, of course
➖ No extra script: no loading delay, instant availability
😜 Escapes most ad & script blockers (catch me if you can)
💯 Simple, feature complete, extensive config
✅ Typescript, JSDocs, auto completion
✅ Easy debuggin' (one console.log at a time)
✅ Auto imported, available (almsot) everywhere

Setup

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']
});

Warning: This might cause unwanted errors due to changes as the branch is still WIP.

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:

Use it

<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

option	type	description	required	default
host	`string`	Your Umami endpoint. This is where your script is hosted. Eg: `https://ijkml.xyz/`.	yes	`''`
id	`string`	Unique website-id provided by Umami.	yes	`''`
domains	`string \| Array<string>`	Limit tracker to specific domains by providing an array or comma-separated list (without 'http'). Leave blank for all domains.	no	`undefined`
ignoreDnt	`boolean`	Option to ignore browsers' Do Not Track setting.	no	`true`
autoTrack	`boolean`	Option to automatically track page views.	no	`true`
ignoreLocalhost	`boolean`	Option to prevent tracking on localhost.	no	`false`
customEndpoint	`string`	Set a custom `COLLECT_API_ENDPOINT`. See Docs.	no	`undefined`
version	`1 \| 2`	Umami version	no	`1`
useDirective	`boolean`	Option to enable the `v-umami` directive. See below.	no	`false`
debug	`boolean`	Option to enable error logs (in production), useful for testing in prod :)	no	`false`

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.

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>

Debugging

For cases where you need that console.log('here') in live sites, set debug: true in your config.

Umami v2

Note: Support for Umami v2 is available in 2.3.0 and later.

To use Umami v2, set version: 2 in the Umami config.
