angulartics2

Vendor-agnostic analytics for Angular2 applications. angulartics.github.io

Install

npm install angulartics2 --save

If you use SystemJS to load your files, you might have to update your config with this if you don't use defaultJSExtensions: true:

System.config({
    packages: {
        "/angulartics2": {"defaultExtension": "js"}
    }
});

Minimal setup for Google Analytics

Add the full tracking code from Google Tag Manager to the beginning of your body tag.

Changes in the Google Analytics snippet

The snippet code provided by Google Analytics does an automatic pageview hit, but this is already done by Angulartics (unless you disable it) so make sure to delete the tracking line:

      ...
      ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'none'); // 'none' while you are working on localhost
      ga('send', 'pageview');  // DELETE THIS LINE!
    </script>

Include it in your application

Bootstrapping the application with Angulartics2 as provider and injecting Angulartics2GoogleAnalytics (or every provider you want to use) into the root component will hook into the router and send every route change to your analytics provider.

// component
import { Angulartics2GoogleAnalytics } from 'angulartics2';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  template: `<router-outlet></router-outlet>` // Or what your root template is.
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(angulartics2GoogleAnalytics: Angulartics2GoogleAnalytics) {}
}

// bootstrap
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { Angulartics2Module, Angulartics2GoogleAnalytics } from 'angulartics2';

const ROUTES: Routes = [
  { path: '',      component: HomeComponent },
  { path: 'about', component: AboutComponent }
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot(ROUTES),

    Angulartics2Module.forRoot([ Angulartics2GoogleAnalytics ])
  ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})

Tracking events

To track events you can inject the directive angulartics2On into any component and use the attributes angulartics2On, angularticsEvent and angularticsCategory:

// component
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'song-download-box',
  template: `<div angulartics2On="click" angularticsEvent="DownloadClick" angularticsCategory="{{ song.name }}">Click Me</div>`,
})
export class SongDownloadBox {}

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Angulartics2Module } from 'angulartics2';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    Angulartics2Module.forChild()
  ],
  declarations: [
    SongDownloadBox
  ]
})

If you need event label, you can use

<div angulartics2On="click" angularticsEvent="DownloadClick" angularticsCategory="{{ song.name }}" [angularticsProperties]="{label: 'Fall Campaign'}">Click Me</div>

Tracking events in the code

Import Angulartics2

import { Angulartics2 } from 'angulartics2';

and inject it

constructor(angulartics2: Angulartics2) {}

Then you can use

this.angulartics2.eventTrack.next({ action: 'myAction', properties: { category: 'myCategory' }});

If you need event label, you can use

this.angulartics2.eventTrack.next({ action: 'myAction', properties: { category: 'myCategory', label: 'myLabel' }});
