Get started

Installation

npm install vue-analytics

Start using it your Vue application

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueAnalytics from 'vue-analytics'
Vue.use(VueAnalytics, {
  id: 'UA-XXX-X'
})

Important

For all the ES5 users out there, this package uses a default export so if you want to use require instead of import you should import the plugin like this

const VueAnalytics = require('vue-analytics').default
Vue.use(VueAnalytics, { ... })

Usage

it is possible to use the api in two different ways:

• within the component scope
• importing methods separately

Component scope

export default {
  name: 'MyComponent',
  methods: {
    track () {
      this.$ga.page('/')
    }
  }
}

Import methods

To be able to use methods import, make sure you install vue-analytics before you want to use them

import { page } from 'vue-analytics'
export default {
  name: 'MyComponent',
  methods: {
    track () {
      page('/')
    }
  }
}

API

• event
• ecommerce
• set
• page
• query
• screenview
• time
• require
• exception
• social

Track multiple accounts

Pass an array of strings for a multiple tracking system. Every hit will be fired twice: each time with a different tracker name

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueAnalytics from 'vue-analytics'
Vue.use(VueAnalytics, {
  id: ['UA-XXX-A', 'UA-XXX-B']
})

Use functions or/and Promises

It is also possible to pass a function, a Promise or a function that returns a Promise: as soon as it returns always a string or an array of strings

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueAnalytics from 'vue-analytics'
import axios from 'axios'
// a function
Vue.use(VueAnalytics, {
  id () {
    return 'UA-XXX-A'
  }
})
// a Promise
Vue.use(VueAnalytics, {
  id: axios.get('/api/foo').then(response => {
    return response.data
  })
})
// a function that returns a Promise
Vue.use(VueAnalytics, {
  id: () => axios.get('/api/foo').then(response => {
    return response.data
  })
})
