🚀 Quick Start (Complete Solution)

👑 This is the recommended approach — using @consentry/next with @consentry/ui gives you a complete, plug-and-play consent management solution.

Create providers/consent-provider.tsx:

"use client";
import { ConsentConfig, ConsentManagerProvider } from "@consentry/next";
import ConsentManager from "@consentry/ui";

const ConsentProvider = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => {
  const consentConfig: ConsentConfig = {
    debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development",
    defaults: {
      functional: true,
      performance: false,
      advertising: false,
      social: false,
    },
    scripts: [
      {
        id: "gtag-js",
        category: "performance",
        consentRequired: true,
        strategy: "afterInteractive",
        src: "https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX",
        vendor: "Google Analytics",
      },
      {
        id: "gtag-init",
        category: "performance",
        consentRequired: true,
        strategy: "afterInteractive",
        content: `
          window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
          function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
          gtag('js', new Date());
          gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');
          gtag('consent', 'default', {
            analytics_storage: 'denied',
            ad_storage: 'denied',
            ad_user_data: 'denied',
            ad_personalization: 'denied'
          });
        `,
        vendor: "Google Analytics",
      },
    ],
  };

  return (
    <ConsentManagerProvider config={consentConfig}>
      <ConsentManager mode="modal" dark={false} />
      {children}
    </ConsentManagerProvider>
  );
};

export default ConsentProvider;

Step 2: Add to Your App

App Router (app/layout.tsx):

import ConsentProvider from "@/providers/consent-provider";
import "./globals.css";

export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <ConsentProvider>{children}</ConsentProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Pages Router (pages/_app.tsx):

import ConsentProvider from "@/providers/consent-provider";
import type { AppProps } from "next/app";

export default function App({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
  return (
    <ConsentProvider>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </ConsentProvider>
  );
}

Step 3: Use Anywhere in Your App

"use client";
import { useConsentManager } from "@consentry/next";

export default function PrivacySettings() {
  const { preferences, updatePreferences, hasConsentedOnce } = useConsentManager();

  if (!hasConsentedOnce) {
    return <p>Please accept or decline cookies first.</p>;
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Your Privacy Settings</h2>
      <label>
        <input
          type="checkbox"
          checked={preferences.performance}
          onChange={e => updatePreferences({ ...preferences, performance: e.target.checked })}
        />
        Analytics & Performance
      </label>
      <label>
        <input
          type="checkbox"
          checked={preferences.advertising}
          onChange={e => updatePreferences({ ...preferences, advertising: e.target.checked })}
        />
        Advertising & Marketing
      </label>
    </div>
  );
}

That's it! You now have a complete consent management system with banner, modal, and programmatic control.

🎛️ Core Components

💡 Usage Patterns

Programmatic Control

"use client";
import { useConsentManager } from "@consentry/next";
import { openConsentSettings } from "@consentry/ui";

export default function Footer() {
  const { hasConsentedOnce, acceptAll, rejectAll } = useConsentManager();

  return (
    <footer>
      <div>
        <button onClick={() => openConsentSettings()}>Cookie Settings</button>

        {!hasConsentedOnce && (
          <div>
            <button onClick={acceptAll}>Accept All Cookies</button>
            <button onClick={rejectAll}>Reject All</button>
          </div>
        )}
      </div>
    </footer>
  );
}

Conditional Rendering

"use client";
import { useConsentManager } from "@consentry/next";

export default function AnalyticsDashboard() {
  const { hasConsentedTo } = useConsentManager();

  if (!hasConsentedTo("performance")) {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>Analytics data requires performance cookies.</p>
        <button onClick={() => openConsentSettings()}>Enable Analytics</button>
      </div>
    );
  }

  return <div>{/* Your analytics dashboard */}</div>;
}

"use client";
import { useConsentManager } from "@consentry/next";

export default function YouTubeEmbed({ videoId }: { videoId: string }) {
  const { hasConsentedTo, setCategoryConsent } = useConsentManager();

  if (!hasConsentedTo("social")) {
    return (
      <div className="consent-placeholder">
        <p>This content requires social media cookies.</p>
        <button onClick={() => setCategoryConsent("social", true)}>Enable Social Media</button>
      </div>
    );
  }

  return (
    <iframe
      src={`https://www.youtube.com/embed/${videoId}`}
      width="560"
      height="315"
      frameBorder="0"
      allowFullScreen
    />
  );
}

Custom Hook

import { useConsentManager } from "@consentry/next";
import { useCallback } from "react";

export function useAnalytics() {
  const { hasConsentedTo, setCategoryConsent } = useConsentManager();

  const trackEvent = useCallback(
    (event: string, data?: any) => {
      if (hasConsentedTo("performance") && typeof gtag !== "undefined") {
        gtag("event", event, data);
      }
    },
    [hasConsentedTo]
  );

  const enableAnalytics = useCallback(() => {
    setCategoryConsent("performance", true);
  }, [setCategoryConsent]);

  return {
    trackEvent,
    enableAnalytics,
    analyticsEnabled: hasConsentedTo("performance"),
  };
}

// Usage
function MyComponent() {
  const { trackEvent, analyticsEnabled } = useAnalytics();

  const handleClick = () => {
    trackEvent("button_click", { button_id: "header_cta" });
  };

  return <button onClick={handleClick}>Click me {analyticsEnabled && "(tracked)"}</button>;
}

🛠️ Advanced Configuration

Environment-Specific Setup

const getConsentConfig = (): ConsentConfig => {
  const isProd = process.env.NODE_ENV === "production";

  return {
    debug: !isProd,
    defaults: {
      functional: true,
      performance: isProd, // Auto-enable in production
      advertising: false,
      social: false,
    },
    scripts: isProd ? productionScripts : developmentScripts,
  };
};

Custom Storage Key

<ConsentManagerProvider config={consentConfig} storageKey="my-app-consent">
  {children}
</ConsentManagerProvider>

Server-Side Rendering Considerations

"use client";
import dynamic from "next/dynamic";

// Avoid hydration issues
const ConsentManager = dynamic(() => import("@consentry/ui"), {
  ssr: false,
});

const ConsentProvider = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => {
  return (
    <ConsentManagerProvider config={consentConfig}>
      <ConsentManager mode="modal" />
      {children}
    </ConsentManagerProvider>
  );
};

🧪 Testing

Mock the Hook

// __mocks__/@consentry/next.ts
export const useConsentManager = () => ({
  preferences: {
    functional: true,
    performance: true,
    advertising: false,
    social: false,
  },
  updatePreferences: jest.fn(),
  setCategoryConsent: jest.fn(),
  hasConsentedTo: jest.fn(() => true),
  hasConsentedOnce: jest.fn(() => true),
  acceptAll: jest.fn(),
  rejectAll: jest.fn(),
  resetConsent: jest.fn(),
});

Test Components

import { render, screen } from "@testing-library/react";
import { useConsentManager } from "@consentry/next";
import MyComponent from "./MyComponent";

jest.mock("@consentry/next");

test("shows analytics when performance cookies enabled", () => {
  (useConsentManager as jest.Mock).mockReturnValue({
    hasConsentedTo: (category: string) => category === "performance",
  });

  render(<MyComponent />);
  expect(screen.getByText("Analytics Dashboard")).toBeInTheDocument();
});

🔒 Privacy & Compliance

Consent before tracking — Scripts only load after explicit consent
Granular control — Users choose specific categories
Easy withdrawal — One-click preference changes
Data portability — Export/import consent settings

The provider automatically handles Google's consent mode v2:

// Automatically called when preferences change
gtag("consent", "update", {
  analytics_storage: preferences.performance ? "granted" : "denied",
  ad_storage: preferences.advertising ? "granted" : "denied",
  ad_user_data: preferences.advertising ? "granted" : "denied",
  ad_personalization: preferences.advertising ? "granted" : "denied",
});

🚨 Common Issues & Solutions

Hydration Mismatch

// ❌ Wrong - causes hydration issues
export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <ConsentManagerProvider config={config}>
      <ConsentManager />
      {children}
    </ConsentManagerProvider>
  );
}

// ✅ Correct - use dynamic import
const ConsentManager = dynamic(() => import("@consentry/ui"), { ssr: false });

Scripts Not Loading

// ❌ Wrong - bypasses consent management
<Script src="https://analytics.example.com/script.js" />;

// ✅ Correct - managed by consent system
scripts: [
  {
    id: "analytics",
    category: "performance",
    src: "https://analytics.example.com/script.js",
  },
];

Hook Outside Provider

// ❌ Wrong - hook used outside provider
function App() {
  const { preferences } = useConsentManager(); // Error!
  return <div>...</div>;
}

// ✅ Correct - hook used inside provider
function App() {
  return (
    <ConsentManagerProvider config={config}>
      <MyComponent />
    </ConsentManagerProvider>
  );
}

function MyComponent() {
  const { preferences } = useConsentManager(); // Works!
  return <div>...</div>;
}
