react-google-analytics-lite

A Minimal(2kb) React Google Analytics library. It has no dependencies.

Motivation

There are libs that add 10KB to 15KB of unnecessary code just so you can write it in markup-attribute style. Last thing we want to do is make the app heavy. That's why react-google-analytics-lite was created.

It simply loads analytics.js and then calls a callback onload.

Note:

1. It loads analytics code only once irrespective of how many times the component is called, or called from multiple components. So you don't have to worry of the order or where it is added.
2. "ga" is a global variable that Google Analytics adds. All you need to do is to simply call "ga" function as per their docs.
3. Make sure to add this component and initialize analytics i.e. call ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');in the top-most/parent component.

Installation

npm install react-google-analytics-lite --save

Usage:

import GA from 'react-google-analytics-lite'

// In the below code, 
// @onload is the callback (required)

<GA onload={ this.onGALoad } />
  

"onload" callback

This callback is called when "ga" function is ready. So you can call "ga" like below:

this.onGALoad() {
   ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');
   ga('send', 'pageview', '/about.html');
}

Complete Example

import React from 'react'
import GA from 'react-google-analytics-lite'
import About from './about.jsx'

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }

  onGALoad() {
    ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');//initialize
    ga('send', 'pageview', '/app.html');
  }


  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <About />
        <h1>Example</h1>
        <GA
            onload={ this.onGALoad } />
      </div>
    )
  }
}

export default App;
