Swup Google Analytics Plugin

A swup plugin for integrating Google Analytics.

• Trigger pageview events after each page change
• This event is not triggered on intial load, so the first page view must be triggered elsewhere
• However, the page view event is by default triggered in the Javascripts tracking snippet used for embedding Google Analytics

Simplified code run by this plugin on the page:view hook:

// On sites using gtag.js
window.gtag('config', GA_MEASUREMENT_ID, {
  page_title: title,
  page_path: url
});
// On sites using analytics.js
window.ga('set', 'title', document.title);
window.ga('set', 'page', window.location.pathname + window.location.search);
window.ga('send', 'pageview');
