vue-exit-intent

Boost User Engagement with Exit Intent Detection.

A composable to show your modal when a user is about to leave the page or another threshold reached.

Demo

The very first version of this package created in favor of this old guide. Here is an updated article regarding the latest version.

Usage

Import the composable and show your content according to the value of isShowing.

When the exit intent is triggered, a key-value pair (with the current timestamp) is stored in localStorage. The timestamp will be re-evaluated according to the given options the next time the user intends to exit your app.

Add the package

npm i vue-exit-intent

If you are using Vue versions earlier than 2.7, you need to install the @vue/composition-api plugin because Composition API is not supported natively.

Use the package

<sript setup lang="ts">
import { useVueExitIntent } from 'vue-exit-intent'

const { isShowing, close } = useVueExitIntent();
</script>

<template>
  <dialog :open="isShowing">
    <p>Exit intent detected!</p>
    <form method="dialog">
      <button value="ok" @click="close()">OK</button>
    </form>
  </dialog>
</template>

Available helpers & Options

If you use all available helpers & some options your code will be like this:

const options = {
  repeatAfterDays: 1,
  scrollPercentageToTrigger: 50,
  handleScrollBars: true,
  LSItemKey: 'exit-intent-local-storage-key',
  setupBeforeMount: true
};

const {
  isShowing,
  isAllowedToGetTriggered,
  isUnsubscribed,
  close,
  resetState,
  unsubscribe
} = useVueExitIntent(options);

Helpers

isShowing: a reactive boolean ref that tracks whether the exit intent popup is currently visible.
isAllowedToGetTriggered: a reactive boolean ref that tracks whether the exit intent popup is allowed to trigger.
isUnsubscribed: a reactive boolean ref that tracks whether the user has unsubscribed from the exit intent popup.
close: a function that closes the exit intent popup and resets any related states (e.g. the isShowing ref).
resetState: a function that resets all state related to the exit intent popup (e.g. isShowing, isAllowedToGetTriggered, isUnsubscribed).
unsubscribe: a function that unsubscribes the user from the exit intent popup.

Options

Key	Default Value	Type	Required
repeatAfterDays	7	number	false
scrollPercentageToTrigger	0	number	false
delaySecondsAndTrigger	0	number	false
triggerOnExitIntent	true	boolean	false
touchDeviceSensitivity	15	number	false
scrollDebounceMillis	300	number	false
triggerOnPageLoad	false	boolean	false
handleScrollBars	false	boolean	false
LSItemKey	'vue-exit-intent'	string	false
setupBeforeMount	false	boolean	false
inactiveSeconds	0	number	false

Options Description

• repeatAfterDays
  After how many days you want the popup to get triggered again.
  When a user gets the popup that exact timestamp is stored in localstorage and its taken into account next time the user will visit your page.
  Giving a zero, the popup will be shown only once! Until the localstrage of the user gets cleared/resets.
  Give 0 to disable.
  This one runs a CHECK before show.

• scrollPercentageToTrigger
  A scroll percentage that if reached by the user, the pop-up will get triggered.
  Give 0 to disable.
  This one TRIGGERS the popup.

• delaySecondsAndTrigger
  Trigger the pop-up after a short delay in seconds, once the page has loaded.
  Give 0 to disable.
  This one TRIGGERS the popup.

• touchDeviceSensitivity
  On touch devices where there is no mouseleave event, the popup will get triggered on fast (touch)scroll up. The larger the number you will give, the more sesitive will be the pop-up on touch devices.
  Give 0 to disable.
  This one TRIGGERS the popup on touch devices.

• triggerOnExitIntent
  If false. Mouse out event, and scroll-up-fast for touch devices, will not trigger the pop-up. The user would have to reach delaySecondsAndTrigger or scrollPercentageToTrigger to get the popup. If true, your modal pop-up is set to get triggered on user exit-intent.
  This one TRIGGERS the popup.

• scrollDebounceMillis
  Time in milliseconds to debounce user's scrolling

• triggerOnPageLoad
  Show your modal pop-up immediately When a user visits your page.
  This one TRIGGERS the popup.

• handleScrollBars
  Composable will handle the value of: document.body.style.overflowY.
  Will be eather auto (when isShowing is false), or hidden (when isShowing is true)

• LSItemKey
  Key of Local Storage item. You can use a different key to show multiple pop-ups with different behaviour/content.

• setupBeforeMount
  Determines whether the initialization of the composable occurs during the onBeforeMount lifecycle hook instead of the default onMounted hook.
  This options allows you to set up the exit intent before your component is mounted.

• inactiveSeconds
  Delay, in seconds, before activating mouse, touch, and scroll listeners to track user behavior and potentially trigger the popup after an exit intent is detected (mouse leaves the viewport, scroll percentage reached, or fast touch scroll up). This delay helps prevent the immediate display of the popup, ensuring it only appears if the user wants to leave the page after the specified time. Set to 0 to disable this delay. This option DELAYS adding mouse, scroll and touch listeners
