How to use

Pay attention

Since v2.0 I'm using the context to share globally the config of the GTM for the Hook. If you're looking for the 1.x doc, check this

Basic

import { GTMProvider } from '@elgorditosalsero/react-gtm-hook'

const App = () => {
  const gtmParams = { id: 'GTM-ID' }

  return (
    <GTMProvider state={gtmParams}>
      <p>My awesome app</p>
    </GTMProvider>
  )
}

With custom DataLayer Name

import { GTMProvider } from '@elgorditosalsero/react-gtm-hook'

const App = () => {
  const gtmParams = {
    id: 'GTM-ID',
    dataLayerName: 'customDataLayerName'
  }

  return (
    <GTMProvider state={gtmParams}>
      <p>My awesome app</p>
    </GTMProvider>
  )
}

With custom DataLayer name and initial values

import { GTMProvider } from '@elgorditosalsero/react-gtm-hook'

const App = () => {
  const gtmParams = {
    id: 'GTM-ID',
    dataLayer: {
      'my-custom-value': 'value',
      'my-awesome-value': 'awesome'
    },
    dataLayerName: 'customDataLayerName'
  }

  return (
    <GTMProvider state={gtmParams}>
      <p>My awesome app</p>
    </GTMProvider>
  )
}

Use a GTM custom environment

import { GTMProvider } from '@elgorditosalsero/react-gtm-hook'

const App = () => {
  const gtmParams = {
    id: 'GTM-ID',
    environment: {
      gtm_auth: 'my-auth-token',
      gtm_preview: 'preview-id'
    }
  }

  return (
    <GTMProvider state={gtmParams}>
      <p>My awesome app</p>
    </GTMProvider>
  )
}

To find the gtm_auth and gtm_preview values for your custom GTM environment, go to Admin > Your Container > Environments > Your Environment > Actions > Get Snippet in your Google Tag Manager console. You will find the values you need embedded in the snippet.

Sending data to GTM

import { GTMProvider, useGTMDispatch } from '@elgorditosalsero/react-gtm-hook'

const App = () => {
  const gtmParams = {
    id: 'GTM-ID',
    dataLayerName: 'customDataLayerName'
  }

  return (
    <GTMProvider state={gtmParams}>
      <div>
        <p>My awesome app</p>
        <MyAwesomeComp />
      </div>
    </GTMProvider>
  )
}

const MyAwesomeComp = () => {
  const sendDataToGTM = useGTMDispatch()

  const handleClick = () => sendDataToGTM({ event: 'awesomeButtonClicked', value: 'imAwesome' })

  return (
    <div>
      <p>My Awesome Comp</p>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>My Awesome Button</button>
    </div>
  )
}

API

useGTM provide you a clean and easy to use API to config the GTM

Init

Name	Type	Required	Info
id	String	YES	The container ID from the Tag Manager, it looks like: GTM-0T0TTT
dataLayer	Object	NO	Custom values for the dataLayer, like {'my-init-prop': 'value'}
dataLayerName	String	NO	Custom name for the dataLayer, if not passed, it will be the default: dataLayer
environment	Object	NO	Provide the gtm_auth and gtm_preview parameters to use a custom GTM environment
nonce	String	NO	Server generated nonce. see https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/web/csp
injectScript	Boolean	NO	default(true): Decide if the GTM Script is injected, see #30. Also allows for delayed injection by toggling true later in flow

SentDataToGTM

Name	Type	Required	Info
data	Object	YES	The object data to send to the GTM, like {event: 'my-awesome-event', 'my-custom-var': 'value'}
