@frontity/google-analytics

Analytics package to use Google Analytics with Frontity

Install

npm i @frontity/google-analytics

Settings

The namespace for this package is googleAnalytics

Every Google Analytics account has a Tracking ID. To connect the package with a specific account (or accounts) we can set the following properties in the frontity.settings.js:

• state.googleAnalytics.trackingId: to specify just one tracking ID
• state.googleAnalytics.trackingIds: to specify a list of tracking ID's

export default {
  packages: [
    {
      name: "@frontity/google-analytics",
      state: {
        googleAnalytics: {
          trackingId: "UA-12345678-9",
        },
      },
    },
  ],
};

export default {
  packages: [
    {
      name: "@frontity/google-analytics",
      state: {
        googleAnalytics: {
          trackingIds: ["UA-34567890-12", "UA-34567890-13"],
        },
      },
    },
  ],
};

Usage

This @frontity/google-analytics package can co-exist with some other analytics packages. Once we have properly installed and configured these analytics packages, their actions will be centralized by the analytics namespace

• actions.analytics.pageview() will take into account settings in state.analytics.pageviews
• actions.analytics.event() will take into account settings in state.analytics.events

Read More info about how to use Analytic packages in the docs

actions.analytics.pageview

If @frontity/google-analytics is configured and enabled for pageviews in state.analytics.pageviews, every time a link changes (or every time action.router.set(link) is launched) a tracking for that page will be sent to Google Analytics by using internally actions.analytics.pageview()

actions.analytics.event

If @frontity/google-analytics is configured and enabled for events in state.analytics.events, every time you call the method actions.analytics.event() from any of your React components, the proper tracking info will be sent to Google Analytics.

The actions.analytics.event() must receive an event object with the following properties.

Name	Type	Default	Required	Description
name	string	-	true	The value of this property is mapped to the eventAction field of analytics.js events.
payload	Object	-	true	Event payload.

The payload object has to have the following format:

Name	Type	Default	Required	Description
category	string	-	true	The value of this property is mapped to the eventCategory field of analytics.js events.
label	string	-	false	The value of this property is mapped to the eventLabel field of analytics.js events.
value	number	-	false	The value of this property is mapped to the eventValue field of analytics.js events.
[key]	any	-	false	Any other property specified in analytics.js field reference.

These values will be transfomed (by this package) into the proper format before sending the data to Google Analytics
