Setup

2. Add nuxt-snapchat-tracker-module to the modules section of nuxt.config.js

{
  modules: [
    // Simple usage
    'nuxt-snapchat-tracker-module',

    // With options
    ['nuxt-snapchat-tracker-module', {
      track: 'PageView', // default
      id: '<YOUR TRACKING ID>', // mandatory
      disabled: false // default, but beware of GDPR
    }]
  ]

You can also put your options outside modules

{
  modules: [
    'nuxt-snapchat-tracker-module',
  ],
  snaptr: {
    track: 'PAGE_VIEW', // default
    id: '<YOUR TRACKING ID>', // mandatory
    disabled: false // default, but beware of GDPR
  }
}

All user informations are optionnals. Read more below

GDPR

You should collect consent before enabling the tracker to be compliant with GDPR.

First, disable snaptr in yoiur nuxt config file :

{
  modules: [
    'nuxt-snapchat-tracker-module',
  ],
  snaptr: {
    ...
    disabled: true // <-- change this
  }
}

Then, collect consent on a popin or whatever then call (in any VueJS component)

this.$snaptr.enable();

This will enable the tracker AND call a track event with the Event specified in options (defaut: PAGE_VIEW)

Please note that this module won't remember consent from one session to another. If you want to save the user preference, just hold the information on a local cookie and programatically call this.$snaptr.enable()

User informations

In attempt to better match the user browser, snapchat tracker allows you to provide an email or a phone number when initialising the tracker.

To init the tracker providing user's informations, simply add them as an argument when enabling the tracker. You won't be able to pass some user information if you auto start the tracker as it wouldn't make any sense.

this.$snaptr.enable({
  user_email: '[email protected]'
})
