Nuxt Content v3-alpha has been released!

Composables

useContentHead()

The useContentHead() composable provides a binding between your content data and useHead() composable.

Usage

useContentHead() is available everywhere in your app where useHead would be.

It takes two arguments:

  • document: A document data (of any type)
  • to: A route path
    • Default: useRoute()
<script setup lang="ts">
const { data: page } = await useAsyncData('my-page', queryContent('/').findOne)

useContentHead(page)
</script>

Automation

When using the <ContentDoc /> component or the default document-driven page, the composable will be automatically used.

To disable the automation, you can set the contentHead option to false in your nuxt.config:

nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  content: {
    contentHead: false
  }
})

Parameters

These parameters can be used from the Front-Matter section of your pages.

KeyTypeDefaultDescription
headobjectA useHead compatible object
titlestringWill be used as the default value for head.title
head.titlestringParsed titleSets the <title> tag
descriptionstringWill be used as the default value for head.description
head.descriptionstringParsed descriptionSets the <meta name="description"> tag
imagestring | objectWill be used as the default value for head.image
image.srcstringThe source of the image
image.altstringThe alt description of the image
image.xxxstringAny og:image:xxx compatible attribute
head.imagestring | objectOverrides the <meta property="og:image">

At the exception of title, description and image, the head object behaves exactly the same in Front-Matter as it would in useHead({ ... }) composable.

You can specify any value that is writeable in yaml format.
