Google analytics provides insights into who is using your site and what pages are being viewed. To use google analytics what I needed to do was to add a function into my functions.php called my_react_google_analytics. The —– is a placeholder for the tracking code provided by google analytics.
my_react_google_analytics
function my_react_google_analytics() {
?>
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=-----"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', '------');
</script>
<?php
}
To use the function I then add an action for wp_head into my functions.php.
wp_head action
add_action('wp_head', 'my_react_google_analytics');
