snippet
Render the analytics.js snippet.
The recommended way to use analytics.js is to follow the analytics.js quickstart guide. If you absolutely need to generate a snippet dynamically, this is an alternate solution. Note that when using this in-browser, the global analytics
object will not be defined until the snippet is rendered and executed.
