# Using pnpm
pnpm add -D @nuxtjs/snipcart

# Using yarn
yarn add --dev @nuxtjs/snipcart

# Using npm
npm install --save-dev @nuxtjs/snipcart
  1. Add @nuxtjs/snipcart to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/snipcart'
  ],
  snipcart: {
    publicApiKey: "youkey"
  }
})

That's it! You can now use Snipcart in your Nuxt app ✨

At any time please have a look at our beautiful playground example.

useSnipcart

We tried to not create too much wrapper around the Snipcart api so we don't have to maintain so much if Snipcart change. But you may found some of them useful as:

  • exposing snipcart instance
  • use of isReady boolean to watch and make sure you can use snipcart instance safely
  • realtime store subscription (working but performance hit)
  • some function in case you are not using the JS SDK form window.Snipcart that will help you add html attributes that Snipcart will read on load. As bindProductItem or bindProductItemCustom
  • ability to change language or currency using respectively setLanguage or setCurrency

As we have a full typescript support play with it and read the description of what is exposed.

Loading

We are following Snipcart different loadings. You can control the load of the js using loadStrategy configuration property. You can tell snipcart to not load css using loadCSS config property.

If you load async take in consideration on server or client you will not have access to window.Snipcart or snipcart exposed by useSnipcart until its loaded. So adapt your logic

Customization

With nuxt it is super easy to customize snipart components. Use your own class css in addition of custom html to override snipcart component.

To do that create for example public/snipcart-custom.html as inside the playground. And make sure you add the path in the nuxt config using templatesUrl property

Snipcart SDK

As we told before we expose the snipcart SDK as by default with window.Snipcart or form the composable useSnipcart. So you will have the exact same full access to snipcart SDK
