The following piece of code adds pageview tracking functionality to the custom Next.js App in `/pages/_app.tsx`, but you can use it only in specific pages if you want.
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
// /pages/_app.tsx
|
|
import { useRouter } from "next/router";
|
|
import { useEffect } from "react";
|
|
import Script from "next/script";
|
|
|
|
// Step 0:
|
|
// Add your Google tag ID to your local .env.local file, e.g. under GA_TRACKING_ID
|
|
|
|
// Step 1: create the following pageview function
|
|
const pageview = ({
|
|
url,
|
|
analyticsID,
|
|
}: {
|
|
url: string;
|
|
analyticsID: string;
|
|
}) => {
|
|
if (typeof window.gtag !== undefined) {
|
|
window.gtag("config", analyticsID, {
|
|
page_path: url,
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
|
|
const router = useRouter();
|
|
|
|
// ... your code
|
|
|
|
// Step 3: Add the following useEffect to trigger pageview on each route change
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
const handleRouteChange = (url) => {
|
|
pageview(url, GA_TRACKING_ID);
|
|
};
|
|
router.events.on("routeChangeComplete", handleRouteChange);
|
|
return () => {
|
|
router.events.off("routeChangeComplete", handleRouteChange);
|
|
};
|
|
}, [router.events]);
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
{/* Step 4: Install Google Analytics tag */}
|
|
<>
|
|
<Script
|
|
strategy="afterInteractive"
|
|
src={`https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=${GA_TRACKING_ID}`}
|
|
/>
|
|
<Script
|
|
id="gtag-init"

dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{

__html: `
|

window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
|
|
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
|
|
gtag('js', new Date());
|
|
gtag('config', '${GA_TRACKING_ID}', {
|
|
page_path: window.location.pathname,
|
|
});
|
|
`,
|
|
}}
|
|
/>
|
|
<Component {...pageProps} />
|
|
</>
|
|
);
|
|
};
|
|
```
