Managing the title and various meta tags in your Vue.js applications can enhance your site’s SEO, facilitate social sharing, and improve user experience. This is where vue-headful comes into play—a lightweight wrapper around Headful, it provides an elegant solution to setting document metadata directly from your Vue components.
Installation
To get started with vue-headful, you need to install it via npm. Open your terminal and run:
npm i vue-headful
Setting Up vue-headful
After installing, you’ll need to register the component in your Vue application. This is done as follows:
import Vue from 'vue';
import vueHeadful from 'vue-headful';
Vue.component('vue-headful', vueHeadful);
new Vue({
// your configuration
});
Now you can start using the vue-headful component in any of your views!

In your view files, you can add vue-headful like this:
With this setup, you can dynamically change the title and description of your document right from your Vue component.
Understanding the Metadata Structure
Imagine your Web application’s metadata as the fine print of a book cover. Just as the title, author, and summary attract the reader’s attention, the metadata defines how your webpage is presented on search engines and social media.
Vue-headful enables developers to customize this “book cover” easily. It supports various attributes like keywords
, image
, and lang
just like different aspects of a book that convey information about its content:

One great feature of vue-headful is its ability to handle dynamic properties. If you have an API that returns a title after some time (like a plot twist in a story), simply bind it using v-bind:
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter any issues while using vue-headful, consider the following troubleshooting tips:
- Missing Meta Tags: Ensure you have defined the required HTML elements in your document, as vue-headful only modifies the values of existing attributes.
- Dynamic Titles Not Updating: Check your data binding and make sure the title variable is reactive or properly set up.
- Browser Compatibility: While vue-headful supports most modern browsers, for older versions including Internet Explorer, refer to Headful Compatibility.
