Allows React apps to easily embed tracking pixel iframes

## Installation

```bash
$ yarn add @shopify/react-google-analytics
```

## Usage

This library exports a `<Universal />` & a `<GaJS />` component, which allows React apps to easily embed Google Analytics scripts.

## analytics.js example

---

```jsx
import {Universal} from '@shopify/react-google-analytics';

const UNIVERSAL_GA_ACCOUNT_ID = 'UA-xxxx-xx';

<Universal
  account={UNIVERSAL_GA_ACCOUNT_ID}
  domain={shopDomain}
  disableTracking
  debug
  // NOTE: This prop will load and set the debug mode for Google Analytics
  // https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/debugging
/>;
```

#### Set custom variables for analytics.js

```jsx
import {Universal} from '@shopify/react-google-analytics';

const UNIVERSAL_GA_ACCOUNT_ID = 'UA-xxxx-xx';

<Universal
  account={UNIVERSAL_GA_ACCOUNT_ID}
  domain={shopDomain}
  set={{
    foo: 'bar', // This translates to ga('set', 'foo', 'bar');
  }}
/>;
```

#### Getting access to the universal tracking instance

```jsx
import {Universal} from '@shopify/react-google-analytics';

const UNIVERSAL_GA_ACCOUNT_ID = 'UA-xxxx-xx';

<Universal
  account={UNIVERSAL_GA_ACCOUNT_ID}
  domain={shopDomain}
  onLoad={ga => {
    this.ga = ga;
  }}
/>;

<button
  onClick={() => {
    this.ga('send', 'event', 'Videos', 'play', 'Cool Video');
  }}
>
  Play Video
</button>;
```

## ga.js example

---

`WARNING: ga.js is a legacy library. If you are starting a new implementation, we recommend you use the latest version of this library, analytics.js.`

```jsx
import {GaJS} from '@shopify/react-google-analytics';

const GA_JS_ACCOUNT_ID = 'UA-xxxx-xx';

<GaJS
  account={GA_JS_ACCOUNT_ID}
  domain={shopDomain}
  disableTracking
  // NOTE: Disables the tracking snippet from sending data to Google Analytics.
  // https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/#disable
/>;
```

#### Set custom variables for ga.js

```jsx
import {GaJS} from '@shopify/react-google-analytics';

const GA_JS_ACCOUNT_ID = 'UA-xxxx-xx';

<GaJS
  account={GA_JS_ACCOUNT_ID}
  domain={shopDomain}
  set={{
    foo: 'bar', // This translates to _gaq.push(['foo', 'bar']);
  }}
/>;
```

#### Getting access to the ga tracking instance

```jsx
import {GaJS} from '@shopify/react-google-analytics';

const GA_JS_ACCOUNT_ID = 'UA-xxxx-xx';

<GaJS
  account={GA_JS_ACCOUNT_ID}
  domain={shopDomain}
  onLoad={_gaq => {
    this._gaq = _gaq;
  }}
/>;

<button
  onClick={() => {
    this._gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'button3', 'clicked']);
  }}
>
  Play Video
</button>;
```
