}Gtag is a serivce that also allows you to track pageviews manually.
gtag.pageview();
// or with custom params
gtag.pageview({
page_title: 'Lesson Feed',
page_path: '/lessons',
page_location: 'https://angularfirebase.com/lessons'
});Events
Events expect an action.
gtag.event('view_promotion')You can optionally pass in addtional params.
gtag.event('login', {
method: 'Instagram',
event_category: 'engagemnt',
event_label: 'New user logged in via OAuth'
});Event Directive
Many analytics events are tracked based on user interaction, such as button clicks. Just tell it which DOM event to track.
<button gtagEvent trackOn="click">Track Me</button>This will register a general event in GA based on the event name.
You can pass optional params to the directive like so:
<div gtagEvent
trackOn="dragstart"
action="product_dragged"
category="ecommerce"
[params]="{ event_label: 'Something cool just happened' }">
Some Product...
</div>The directive will produce the following event on dragstart.
