About

We needed a component to show a privacy banners on pages - came across the awesome vue-cookie-law by apertureless and it was almost what was needed, except we needed to track the option of an opt-out/decline which seemed a bit out of scope for that project - so vue-cookie-accept-decline is the result.

The big difference here is that vue-cookie-accept-decline allows the user to decline the text on the banner - this is important because you may want to _not_ uses cookies in your app if they have declined the oppurtunity to be tracked.

When the decline or accept buttons are clicked, they will emit the events clicked-accept and clicked-declined respectively. Also, on creation, the component will emit a status event with a value of the current setting, null for nothing set, accept for an accepted banner, and decline for a declined banner. You can listen to this event on the component and do something like disable cookies if you see they have declined the banner. The component also has an optional postpone close button that will let the users dismiss the message without selecting an option.

Each instance of the component requires the prop of elementId - this is to allow for the use of multiple instances of vue-cookie-accept-decline on the same page. To delete the cookie for a specific instance, set the ref property on your instance and call the exposed removeCookie method like this: this.$refs.myPanel1.removeCookie(). You can then call this.$refs.myPanel1.init() to show the user the panel again. See the demo page for a detailed example.

Usage Example

`js
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import VueCookieAcceptDecline from 'vue-cookie-accept-decline';
import 'vue-cookie-accept-decline/dist/vue-cookie-accept-decline.css';

const app = createApp(App);

app.component('vue-cookie-accept-decline', VueCookieAcceptDecline);
`

:disableDecline="false"
:showPostponeButton="false"
@clicked-accept="cookieClickedAccept"
@clicked-decline="cookieClickedDecline"

@removed-cookie="cookieRemovedCookie"
@status="cookieStatus"
elementId="myPanel1"
position="bottom-left"
