**Nuxt API**

# **useFallbackTitle()**

## 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**`)

```ts
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.
