API

useHead(head: MaybeComputedRef<HeadObject>)

Used to modify the head of the document. You can call this function in any page or component.

All values are reactive and support ref and computed getter syntax.

To provide inner content you should use the children attribute.

Example
const myPage = ref({
  description: 'This is my page',
})
const title = ref('title')
useHead({
  // ref syntax
  title,
  meta: [
    // computer getter syntax  
    { name: 'description', content: () => myPage.value.description },
  ],
  style: [
    { type: 'text/css', children: 'body { background: red; }' },
  ],
  script: [
    // primitive values are also fine
    { 
      src: 'https://example.com/script.js',
      defer: true
    },
  ],
})

Types

You can check @zhead/schema for full types.

interface HeadObject {
  title?: MaybeRef<string>
  titleTemplate?: MaybeRef<string> | ((title?: string) => string)
  meta?: MaybeRef<HeadAttrs[]>
  link?: MaybeRef<HeadAttrs[]>
  base?: MaybeRef<HeadAttrs>
  style?: MaybeRef<HeadAttrs[]>
  script?: MaybeRef<HeadAttrs[]>
  noscript?: MaybeRef<HeadAttrs[]>
  htmlAttrs?: MaybeRef<HeadAttrs>
  bodyAttrs?: MaybeRef<HeadAttrs>
}

useHeadSafe(head: MaybeComputedRef<HeadObject>)

Has the same functionality as useHead but encodes values to prevent XSS. This is useful for inserting untrusted data from third-parties.

useHeadSafe({
  bodyAttrs: {
    onfocus: 'alert("hello")',
  },
  script: [
    {
      children: 'alert("hello world")',
    },
  ],
})
Deduping

For meta tags, we use name and property to prevent duplicated tags, you can instead use the key attribute if the same name or property is allowed:

useHead({
  meta: [
    {
      property: "og:locale:alternate",
      content: "zh",
      key: "zh",
    },
    {
      property: "og:locale:alternate",
      content: "en",
      key: "en",
    },
  ],
})
Body Tags

To render tags at the end of the <body>, set body: true in a HeadAttrs Object.

useHead({
  script: [
    {
      children: `console.log('Hello world!')`,
      body: true,
    },
  ],
})
Text Content

To set the textContent of an element, use the children attribute:

useHead({
  style: [
    {
      children: `body {color: red}`,
    },
  ],
  noscript: [
    {
      children: `Javascript is required`,
    },
  ],
})

useHead also takes reactive object or ref as the argument, for example:

const head = reactive({ title: "Website Title" })
useHead(head)
const title = ref("Website Title")
useHead({ title })
Render Priority

To set the render priority of a tag you can use the renderPriority attribute:

useHead({
  script: [
    {
      src: "/not-important-script.js",
    },
  ],
})

useHead({
  script: [
    // will render first
    {
      src: "/very-important-script.js",
      renderPriority: 1 // default is 10, so will be first
    },
  ],
})

The following special tags have default priorities:

  • -2 <meta charset ...>
  • -1 <base>
  • 0 <meta http-equiv="content-security-policy" ...>

All other tags have a default priority of 10: ,

<Head> component

Besides useHead, you can also manipulate head tags using the <Head> component:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Head } from "@vueuse/head"
</script>

<template>
  <Head>
    <title>Hello World</title>
    <base href="/base" />
    <html lang="en-US" class="theme-dark" />
  </Head>
</template>

Note that you need to use <html> and <body> to set htmlAttrs and bodyAttrs respectively, children for these two tags and self-closing tags like <meta>, <link> and <base> are also ignored.

Integration

For integrating @vueuse/head with a framework.

Examples

Usage

Register the Vue plugin:

import { createApp } from "vue"
import { createHead } from "@vueuse/head"

const app = createApp()
const head = createHead()

app.use(head)

app.mount("#app")

Manage head with the composition API useHead in your component:

<script>
import { defineComponent, reactive } from "vue"
import { useHead } from "@vueuse/head"

export default defineComponent({
  setup() {
    const siteData = reactive({
      title: `My website`,
      description: `My beautiful website`,
    })

    useHead({
      // Can be static or computed
      title: () => siteData.title,
      meta: [
        {
          name: `description`,
          content: () => siteData.description,
        },
      ],
    })
  },
})
</script>

Server-side rendering

import { renderToString } from "@vue/server-renderer"
import { renderHeadToString } from "@vueuse/head"

const appHTML = await renderToString(yourVueApp)

// `head` is created from `createHead()`
const { headTags, htmlAttrs, bodyAttrs, bodyTags } = renderHeadToString(head)

const finalHTML = `
<html${htmlAttrs}>

  <head>
    ${headTags}
  </head>

  <body${bodyAttrs}>
    <div id="app">${appHTML}</div>
    ${bodyTags}
  </body>

</html>
`

API

createHead(head?: HeadObject | Ref<HeadObject>)

Create the head manager instance.

renderHeadToString(head: Head)

  • Returns: HTMLResult
export interface HTMLResult {
  // Tags in `<head>`
  readonly headTags: string
  // Attributes for `<html>`
  readonly htmlAttrs: string
  // Attributes for `<body>`
  readonly bodyAttrs: string
  // Tags in `<body>`
  readonly bodyTags: string
}

Render the head manager instance to HTML tags in string form.
