Google Analytics for Primo NUI packages
Because the root index.html is not directly accessible from custom views, this dependency can inject custom script tags into the the DOM document <head>.
-
Assuming you've installed and are using primo-explore-devenv.
-
Navigate to your template/central package root directory. For example:
cd primo-explore/custom/MY_VIEW_ID -
If you do not already have a package.json file in this directory, create one:
npm init -y -
Install this package:
npm install primo-explore-google-analytics --save-dev
Once installed, first add googleAnalytics as a dependency:
require('primo-explore-google-analytics');
// or, in a ESModules compatible environment:
// import 'primo-explore-google-analytics';
let app = angular.module('viewCustom', [
'googleAnalytics'
])Then, run the injection through a run block in your AnglularJS Application. This injection pattern follows "run block style" conventions, allowing for a finer control over the run order of your dependencies and better testing. See https://github.com/johnpapa/angular-styleguide/blob/master/a1/README.md#style-y171
app.run(runBlock);
runBlock.$inject = ['gaInjectionService'];
function runBlock(gaInjectionService) {
// other potential run operations...
gaInjectionService.injectGACode();
}This will add the necessary script tags to the bottom of the head of your web document, loading the necessary Google Analytics functionality.
You'll need to configure the module by passing it an object as an angular constant named googleAnalyticsConfig.
Optionally, you can also use an array of configurations if you need to add multiple tag managers to your page.
| name | type | usage |
|---|---|---|
trackingId |
string |
Adds your GATM tracking id to default scripts |
<head>
<!-- ... -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id={trackingId}"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', '{trackingId}');
</script>
</head>| name | type | usage |
|---|---|---|
externalScriptURL |
string |
If you are using an alternative URL, specify the source of the external script that is loaded. Use null if you don't want an external script to be loaded (especially for legacy Google Analytics using an inlineScript) |
inlineScript |
string |
Specify the inline script tag to be inserted below the external script tag. |
target |
string |
(default: 'head') What element on the document you would like to append the injected script to. E.g. body. Uses document.querySelector to find the first instance of the element. |
app.constant('googleAnalyticsConfig', {
trackingId: 'AB-123456789',
// use null to specify an external script shouldn't be loaded
externalScriptURL: null,
// copy from script snippet from Google if you're running legacy Google Analytics
inlineScript: `
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'AB-123456789']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
`,
target: 'body',
})output:
<head>
<!-- ... -->
<!-- or, if included: <script async src="{externalScriptURL}"></script> -->
<script>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'AB-123456789']);
