| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| String   | `It's required if the component is registered locally`   | 

A shortname is the unique identifier assigned to a Disqus site and tells Disqus to load only your site's comments.

It is used to retrieve the amount of comments from the entered identifier.

The URL that will be used to retrieve the amount of comments.


### tag

| Type     | Default   |
| -------- | --------- |
| String   | `span`    | 

If you want the element to be a link that takes you directly to the post's comments, just define the `a` tag.

::: warning
If you define an `a` tag, the` url` prop will be required.

```vue
<DisqusCount
  tag="a"
  url="https://example.com/blog/my-awesome-post`"
