## Usage

Use the auto-imported `useFallbackTitle` composable to access the fallback title that the module generates for the current page.

The title is resolved in this order:

1. Error page title (e.g., `404 - Page not found`) when a 404 or 500 error is active
2. `route.meta.title` if set via `definePageMeta()`
3. `pages.{routeName}.title` i18n translation key (when `@nuxtjs/i18n` is installed)
4. Title-cased last URL path segment (e.g., `/about-us` becomes `About Us`)

```tstwoslash
const title = useFallbackTitle()
// Ref<string | null>
```

This is useful when building custom modules or components that need access to the same fallback title logic used internally by the module.

## Return Value

- Type: `ComputedRef<string | null>`

Returns `null` for the root path (`/`) when no `route.meta.title` is set.
