Integrating Google Analytics (GA4) in your React.js App

Google Analytics is an essential tool for tracking and analyzing the performance of your website or web application. With the release of GA4, it is important to integrate this new version in your React.js app to ensure accurate tracking and reporting of user behavior.

Step 1: Create a Google Analytics Property

First, you need to create a Google Analytics property for your React.js app. Go to the Google Analytics website and click on “Admin” in the bottom left corner. From there, click on “Create Property” and follow the prompts to set up your new GA4 property.

Step 2: Install the React Ga4 React Package

Next, you will need to install the React Ga4 package in your React.js app. You can do this using npm with the following command:

npm install @react-ga4/react

Step 3: Initialize GA4 in your App

After installing the package, you can initialize GA4 in your app by adding the following code to your main app file (e.g. App.js):


import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';
import { useGa4 } from '@react-ga4/react';

function App() {
const location = useLocation();
const { ga } = useGa4();

useEffect(() => {
ga.send('pageview', { location: location.pathname, page_title: document.title });
}, [location, ga]);

// ... rest of your app
}

Step 4: Add Tracking Events

You can then add tracking events to specific user interactions, such as button clicks or form submissions, using the ga.send method provided by the React Ga4 package.

Step 5: Test and Verify

Finally, you should test and verify that Google Analytics is tracking user behavior correctly in your React.js app. You can do this by visiting your app and using the Google Analytics Real-Time reports to see live data.

By following these steps, you can successfully integrate Google Analytics (GA4) in your React.js app and gain valuable insights into your users’ behavior and interactions.

Useless video. Debug view is used to check if analytics are working. Neither you told about additional parameters of event etc.
