> Google Analytics integration for Nuxt.js with [vue-analytics](https://github.com/MatteoGabriele/vue-analytics)

[📖 **Release Notes**](./CHANGELOG.md)

## Setup

1. Add `@nuxtjs/google-analytics` dependency to your project

```bash
yarn add --dev @nuxtjs/google-analytics # or npm install --save-dev @nuxtjs/google-analytics
```

2. Add `@nuxtjs/google-analytics` to the `buildModules` section of `nuxt.config.js`

```js
export default {
  buildModules: [
    ['@nuxtjs/google-analytics', {
      id: 'UA-12301-2'
    }]
  ]
}
```

:warning: If you are using Nuxt **< v2.9** you have to install the module as a `dependency` (No `--dev` or `--save-dev` flags) and use `modules` section in `nuxt.config.js` instead of `buildModules`.

### Using top level options

```js
export default {
  buildModules: [
    '@nuxtjs/google-analytics'
  ],
  googleAnalytics: {
    id: 'UA-12301-2'
  }
}
```

### Runtime Config

You can use [runtime config](https://nuxtjs.org/guide/runtime-config) if need to use dynamic environment variables in production. Otherwise, the options will be hardcoded during the build and won't be read from `nuxt.config` anymore.

```js
export default {
  buildModules: [
    '@nuxtjs/google-analytics'
  ],

  googleAnalytics: {
    id: 'UA-12301-2', // Used as fallback if no runtime config is provided
  },

  publicRuntimeConfig: {
    googleAnalytics: {
      id: process.env.GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID
    }
  },
}
```

Differences between vue-analytics and the Nuxt.js implementation:

- The router instance is already added out of the box (read [here](https://github.com/MatteoGabriele/vue-analytics/blob/master/docs/page-tracking.md#disable-page-auto-tracking) if you need to disable it)
- The `id` and `ua` properties have the exact same behaviour. The `ua` property has been added for backwards compatibily with previous releases
- You can disable module for `nuxt dev` by setting `dev: false` option in module options
- Note: By default, you won't see hits going out in dev mode. For testing analytics in dev mode, you must add the following to the `googleAnalytics` options in `nuxt.config.js`:

  ```js
  debug: {
    enabled: true,
    sendHitTask: true
  }
  ```
