import { GtagModule } from 'angular-gtag';
@NgModule({
imports: [
GtagModule.forRoot({ trackingId: 'UA-YOUR_TRACKING_ID', trackPageviews: true })

})
The package will listen to route changes by default, you just need to instantiate service in the root of the project.
export class AppComponent {
constructor(gtag: Gtag) { }
}
Gtag is a serivce that also allows you to track pageviews manually.
gtag.pageview();
// or with custom params
gtag.pageview({
page_title: 'Lesson Feed',
page_path: '/lessons',
page_location: 'https://angularfirebase.com/lessons'
});
Events expect an action.
gtag.event('view_promotion')
You can optionally pass in addtional params.
gtag.event('login', {
method: 'Instagram',
event_category: 'engagemnt',
event_label: 'New user logged in via OAuth'
});
Many analytics events are tracked based on user interaction, such as button clicks. Just tell it which DOM event to track.
<button gtagEvent trackOn="click">Track Me</button>
This will register a general event in GA based on the event name.

You can pass optional params to the directive like so:
<div gtagEvent
trackOn="dragstart"
action="product_dragged"
category="ecommerce"
[params]="{ event_label: 'Something cool just happened' }">
Some Product...
</div>
The directive will produce the following event on dragstart.
