Track User Behaviour On Your Website With Google Analytics & Next.JS

For some reason I got the following error :

Unhandled Runtime Error SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

I had to change the code to :

<Script strategy="lazyOnload">{`
      window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
      function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
      gtag('js', new Date());

   gtag('config','${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS}');
    `}
</Script>

to fix the error. I could have said that your code has an issue but then your video did not show any issues.

Hey Jarrod Wattsthanks very much for this. A question, is this the same as setting up google tag manager or that is a different thing?

Nice article Jarrod Watts, thanks. Quick Note: I think the XXXXXXXXXX in the gtag('config', ... line also needs to be prefixed with G- making it G-XXXXXXXXXX. Thanks.

How would you track router changes with this solution?

Great article you reminded me that I have not checked the analytics for my website in a very long time. I imagine I have a lot more traffic now that I am more active in the community.

Really good article Jarrod Watts, we all need our fix of analytics!
