Setup

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import { pageTitle } from 'vue-page-title';

const app = createApp(Root);

app.use(
  pageTitle({
    suffix: '- Vue Page Title',
    mixin: true,
  }),
);

Compatibility

Migration from v2

Version 3 ships as an ES module only. Update your imports if you relied on legacy bundle fields:

import { pageTitle } from 'vue-page-title';

Breaking changes in v3:

• Removed UMD, CJS, and IIFE builds (main, unpkg, and jsdelivr fields)
• Package entry is now exports.import pointing to dist/index.js
• Node.js 20.19+ is required for development and CI

Migration from v1

All resources from v1 works on v2.

Now mixin is optional and must be defined as true to be automatically registered in the app.

Options

Usage

Composition API

<script>
import { createApp, h, ref, computed, onBeforeUnmount } from 'vue';
import { useTitle } from 'vue-page-title';

const CAPTAINS = [
  'Monkey D. Luffy',
  'Trafalgar D. Water Law',
  'Eustass Kid',
  'Shanks',
  'Edward Newgate',
  'Charlotte Linlin',
  'Capone Bege',
  'Gol D. Roger',
];

const getCapitain = () => CAPTAINS[Math.floor(Math.random() * CAPTAINS.length)];

export default defineComponent({
  setup() {
    const current = ref('Capitains');
    const { title } = useTitle(current);

    const refresh = () => {
      current.value = getCapitain();
    };

    const interval = setInterval(refresh, 5000);

    onBeforeUnmount(() => {
      clearInterval(interval);
    });

    return {
      title,
    };
  },
});
</script>

<template>
  <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
</template>

const { title } = useTitle('initial title`)

React from ref state

const name = ref('initial name');
const { title } = useTitle(name);

Use like a watch source argument

const product = ref({ name: 'One Piece 1017' });
const { title } = useTitle(() => product.name);

Pass a computed as argument

const product = ref({ name: 'One Piece 1017' });
const name = computed(() => product.name);
const { title } = useTitle(name);

Use setTitle to dynamically change the title

const product = ref({ name: 'One Piece 1017' });
const { setTitle } = useTitle();

watchEffect(() => {
  setTitle(product.name);
});

Mixin

With the mixin option enabled, just set the title option inside the component.
Within the component it is still possible to update the $title state using $setPageTitle function, it is also available to be used within the component template.

The option mixin must be true.

<script>
const CREW = [
  'Monkey D. Luffy',
  'Roronoa Zoro',
  'Nami',
  'Usopp',
  'Sanji',
  'Tony Tony Chopper',
  'Nico Robin',
  'Franky',
  'Brook',
  'Jinbe',
  'Nefertari Vivi',
];

export default {
  title: 'Mugiwara no Ichimi',
  mounted() {
    this.$interval = setInterval(() => {
      this.$setPageTitle(CREW[Math.floor(Math.random() * CREW.length)]);
    }, 2000);
  },
  beforeDestroy() {
    clearInterval(this.$interval);
  },
};
</script>

<template>
  <h1>{{ $title }}</h1>
</template>

Function title

You are able to turn the title changes acative, like a computed.

<script>
const EMPERORS = ['Shanks', 'Marshall D. Teach', 'Monkey D. Luffy', 'Buggy'];

export default {
  title() {
    return `🏴‍☠️ ${this.emperor}`;
  },
  data() {
    return {
      emperor: 'Four Emperors',
    };
  },
  mounted() {
    this.$interval = setInterval(() => {
      this.emperor = EMPERORS[Math.floor(Math.random() * EMPERORS.length)];
    }, 2000);
  },
  beforeDestroy() {
    clearInterval(this.$interval);
  },
};
</script>

<template>
  <h1>{{ $title }}</h1>
</template>

This is particularly useful for internationalization.
This is an example using vue-i18n@9.

export default {
  title: ({ $t }) => $t('pages.clients.title'),
};

Vue Router integration

Setup

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import { pageTitle } from 'vue-page-title';
import router from 'path/to/application/router';

const app = createApp(Root);

app.use(pageTitle({ router }));

path/to/application/router

import { createRouter, createWebHashHistory } from 'vue-router';
import FooComponent from 'path/to/foo-component';
import HomeComponent from 'path/to/home-component';

const routes = [
  {
    path: '/',
    component: HomeComponent,
    meta: {
      title: 'Home Page', // Title must be a string.
    },
  },
  {
    path: '/foo',
    component: FooComponent,
    meta: {
      title: 'Foo Page',
    },
  },
];

export default createRouter({
  history: createWebHashHistory(),
  routes,
});

Watching routes

export default {
  title() {
    return `My title is: ${this.$route.query.foo}`;
  },
};
