    ]

export class AppModule {};

By default there is a page trigger for each route change. To disable this feature for a specific route, add doNotTrack: true to your route's data in app-routing.module.ts.

{
    path: 'home',
    component: HomePage,
    data: {
        doNotTrack: true
    }
}

import { GAService } from '@acpaas-ui/ngx-analytics';

constructor(
    private gaService: GAService
) {}

Set dimension

this.gaService.setDimension('some-dimension', 'some-value');

Trigger page view

Use default parameters:

this.gaService.triggerPageView();

Or use custom parameters:

this.gaService.triggerPageView('custom title', 'custom location', 'custom page');

Trigger event

Trigger an event from the controller:

this.gaService.triggerEvent('button', 'click');

Or trigger an event from the view with the gaEvent directive. This directive sends a click event to GA with the tagname of the element as category, click as action, the inner text as label and the directive input as value.

Trigger event without value:

<button type="button" gaEvent>Switch gender to male with directive</button>

Trigger event with value:

<button type="button" [gaEvent]="activeGender">Switch gender to male with directive</button>
