nuxt: Mounted hook not being called in components on production?

Hello!

I have a component that is included on a page in Nuxt.

This component has a mounted hook:

<script>
export default {
	name: 'MyComponent',
	mounted() { alert('oh hai!') }
}
</script>

This works fine in development. However when I export the site full static (nuxt generate) the code in the mounted hook appears not to run – the alert never appears when the page is loaded.

I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I can’t figure it out. Do the created/mounted lifecycle hooks get called on the components if they are used on full static sites? If not, what is the recommended way to initialize the code that is used to control a component?
