Google Analytics

💡

Follow this guide to get Google Analytics setup in your Divjoy codebase. Click the ▶︎ icon next to any step to see a detailed walkthrough with screenshots. If anything is confusing please reach out.

Basic Setup

‣

Create a new "Universal Analytics Property" in Google Analytics. When setting up your property you'll need to click the "Advanced Options" link and then select "Create a Universal Analytics Property only". The analytics library we use doesn't yet work with the new "Google Analytics 4" property type (see Github issue here).

‣

After creating your property, copy the "Tracking Id" and then add it to your codebase .env file.

Go to "Property Settings" and copy your "Tracking Id"

🙌

You should now have a working analytics in your web app

Troubleshooting

Workaround with Google Analytics for Firebase (Property format change from UA-* to G-*)

When creating a new Firebase project with DivJoy, you are given the option to create and connect a new Google Analytics property for the project. (See image below)

Google Analytics for Firebase is auto-generating unique property identifiers that are incompatible with DivJoy with an analytics property format of "G-123456".

We recommend that you create a new property directly in Google Analytics with the original analytics property format of "UA-123abc" while we add support for the new Google Analytics for Firebase.
