@frontity/google-tag-manager-analytics

Analytics package to use Google Tag Manager with Frontity

Install

npm i @frontity/google-tag-manager-analytics

Settings

The namespace for this package is googleTagManagerAnalytics

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

• state.googleTagManagerAnalytics.containerId: to specify just one container ID
• state.googleTagManagerAnalytics.containerIds: to specify a list of container ID's

export default {
  packages: [
    {
      name: "@frontity/google-tag-manager-analytics",
      state: {
        googleTagManagerAnalytics: {
          containerId: "GTM-BCDFGHJ",
        },
      },
    },
  ],
};

export default {
  packages: [
    {
      name: "@frontity/google-tag-manager-analytics",
      state: {
        googleTagManagerAnalytics: {
          containerIds: ["GTM-BCDFGHJ", "GTM-HJSFDUF"],
        },
      },
    },
  ],
};

Usage

This @frontity/google-tag-manager-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-tag-manager-analytics is configured 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 Tag Manager.

actions.analytics.event

If @frontity/google-tag-manager-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 Tag Manager.

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 event field of the object sent to GTM
payload	Object	-	true	Event payload.

You can add any info you want in the payload object.

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