Notice

Use version 0.3.x of the react-g-analytics if you want to use it with react-router 4.x Use version 0.2.x of the react-g-analytics if you want to use it with react-router 2.x or 3.x

Usage

Example react-router 4.x

User BrowserRouter from react-g-analytics instead of react-router.

import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-g-analytics';

export default function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter id="UA-*******-**">
      ... your application
    <BrowserRouter>
  );
}

>

Example react-router 3.x and bellow

App.jsx

Application part (load google analytics script to your webpage on the client side). ReactGAnalytics has parameter ID (use your own ID)

var React = require('react');
var GoogleAnalytics = require('react-g-analytics');

var App = module.exports = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return (
      <div id="application">
        <GoogleAnalytics id="UA-*******-**" />
        <RouteHandler />
      </div>
    );
  }
});

routes.jsx

Define your routes here.

var React = require('react');
var Router = require('react-router');
var Route = Router.Route;
var DefaultRoute = Router.DefaultRoute;
var Index = require('./Index.jsx');
var App = require('./App.jsx');

var routes = module.exports = (
  <Route handler={App} name="index" path="/">
    <DefaultRoute handler={Index} />
  </Route>
);

client.js

Here is a simple client side

var React = require('react');
var app = require('./App.jsx');
var routes = require('./routes.jsx');

var router = Router.create({
  routes: routes
});

router.run(function(Handler, state) {
  React.render(React.createElement(Handler, {}), node);
});

Set

If you want to set google analytics parameters after load you can use property named set. Here is small example:

var React = require('react');
var GoogleAnalytics = require('react-g-analytics');
var RouteHandler = require('react-router').RouteHandler;

var set = {
  anonymizeIp: true
};

var App = module.exports = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return (
      <div id="application">
        <GoogleAnalytics id="UA-*******-**" set={set} />
        <RouteHandler />
      </div>
    );
  }
});

Skip loading google analytics scripts

If you are loading the GA in different way. You can skip autoload of the GA script simply: Do not enter your google analytics ID as parameter.
