## Features

Plugin uses sensible defaults prioritizing user experience, performance & privacy:

- include tracking code in all server-side rendered routes
- track all route views as custom events
- load tracking scripts at end of `body` tag
- use image tracking fallback for `noscript`
- don't load anything when visitor has Do Not Track enabled
- don't load anything in non-production environments
- consent mode for privacy
- allow loading tracking script locally
- define paths to be excluded from tracking
- `preconnect` to configured Matomo host url
- dev mode for local development

## Usage

1. First, install the plugin from your project's root:

   ```bash
   cd yourproject/
   npm i gatsby-plugin-matomo
   ```

2. Then load the plugin from your `gatsby-config.js` and set the required variables:

   ```js
   plugins: [
     {
       resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-matomo',
       options: {
         siteId: 'YOUR_SITE_ID',
         matomoUrl: 'https://YOUR_MATOMO_URL.COM',
         siteUrl: 'https://YOUR_LIVE_SITE_URL.COM'
       }
     }
   ]
   ```

3. That's it!

_NOTE: By default, this plugin only generates output when run in production mode. To test your tracking code, run `gatsby build && gatsby serve`, or set `dev` option to `true`_.

| `trackLoad`       | (optional) If true, it will track the loading of the matomo library. Defaults to `true`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| `respectDnt`      |  (optional) If false, will load all scripts without respecting user preference to `Do Not Track` on browsers.  Defaults to `true`.                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| `dev`             | (optional) Activate dev mode by setting to `true`. Will load all scripts despite not running in `production` environment. Ignores your local browser's DNT header too. Outputs some information in console about what it is doing. Useful for local testing but careful: all hits will be send like in production. |
