|
|
| **`@next/third-parties`** is a library that provides a collection of components and utilities that improve the performance and developer experience of loading popular third-party libraries in your Next.js application. |
|
|
| All third-party integrations provided by `@next/third-parties` have been optimized for performance and ease of use. |
|
|
| ## Getting Started |
|
|
| To get started, install the `@next/third-parties` library: |
|
|
| ```bash filename="Terminal" |
| npm install @next/third-parties@latest next@latest |
| ``` |
|
|
| {} |
|
|
| `@next/third-parties` is currently an **experimental** library under active development. We recommend installing it with the **latest** or **canary** flags while we work on adding more third-party integrations. |
|
|
| ## Google Third-Parties |
|
|
| All supported third-party libraries from Google can be imported from `@next/third-parties/google`. |
|
|
| ### Google Tag Manager |
|
|
| The `GoogleTagManager` component can be used to instantiate a [Google Tag Manager](https: |
|
|
| <AppOnly> |
|
|
| To load Google Tag Manager for all routes, include the component directly in your root layout and pass in your GTM container ID: |
|
|
| ```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher |
| import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google' |
|
|
| export default function RootLayout({ |
| children, |
| }: { |
| children: React.ReactNode |
| }) { |
| return ( |
| <html lang="en"> |
| <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" /> |
| <body>{children}</body> |
| </html> |
| ) |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| ```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher |
| import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google' |
|
|
| export default function RootLayout({ children }) { |
| return ( |
| <html lang="en"> |
| <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" /> |
| <body>{children}</body> |
| </html> |
| ) |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| </AppOnly> |
|
|
| <PagesOnly> |
|
|
| To load Google Tag Manager for all routes, include the component directly in your custom `_app` and |
| pass in your GTM container ID: |
|
|
| ```jsx filename="pages/_app.js" |
| import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google' |
|
|
| export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) { |
| return ( |
| <> |
| <Component {...pageProps} /> |
| <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" /> |
| </> |
| ) |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| </PagesOnly> |
|
|
| To load Google Tag Manager for a single route, include the component in your page file: |
|
|
| <AppOnly> |
|
|
| ```jsx filename="app/page.js" |
| import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google' |
|
|
| export default function Page() { |
| return <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" /> |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| </AppOnly> |
|
|
| <PagesOnly> |
|
|
| ```jsx filename="pages/index.js" |
| import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google' |
|
|
| export default function Page() { |
| return <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" /> |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| </PagesOnly> |
|
|
| #### Sending Events |
|
|
| The `sendGTMEvent` function can be used to track user interactions on your page by sending events |
| using the `dataLayer` object. For this function to work, the `<GoogleTagManager />` component must be |
| included in either a parent layout, page, or component, or directly in the same file. |
|
|
| <AppOnly> |
|
|
| ```jsx filename="app/page.js" |
| 'use client' |
|
|
| import { sendGTMEvent } from '@next/third-parties/google' |
|
|
| export function EventButton() { |
| return ( |
| <div> |
| <button |
| onClick={() => sendGTMEvent({ event: 'buttonClicked', value: 'xyz' })} |
| > |
| Send Event |
| </button> |
| </div> |
| ) |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| </AppOnly> |
|
|
| <PagesOnly> |
|
|
| ```jsx filename="pages/index.js" |
| import { sendGTMEvent } from '@next/third-parties/google' |
|
|
| export function EventButton() { |
| return ( |
| <div> |
| <button |
| onClick={() => sendGTMEvent({ event: 'buttonClicked', value: 'xyz' })} |
| > |
| Send Event |
| </button> |
| </div> |
| ) |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| </PagesOnly> |
|
|
| Refer to the Tag Manager [developer |
| documentation](https: |
| different variables and events that can be passed into the function. |
|
|
| #### Server-side Tagging |
|
|
| If you're using a server-side tag manager and serving `gtm.js` scripts from your tagging server you can |
| use `gtmScriptUrl` option to specify the URL of the script. |
| |
| #### Options |
| |
| Options to pass to the Google Tag Manager. For a full list of options, read the [Google Tag Manager |
| docs](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/datalayer). |
| |
| | Name | Type | Description | |
| | --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| | `gtmId` | Required | Your GTM container ID. Usually starts with `GTM-`. | |
| | `gtmScriptUrl` | Optional | GTM script URL. Defaults to `https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js`. | |
| | `dataLayer` | Optional | Data layer object to instantiate the container with. | |
| | `dataLayerName` | Optional | Name of the data layer. Defaults to `dataLayer`. | |
| | `auth` | Optional | Value of authentication parameter (`gtm_auth`) for environment snippets. | |
| | `preview` | Optional | Value of preview parameter (`gtm_preview`) for environment snippets. | |
| |
| ### Google Analytics |
| |
| The `GoogleAnalytics` component can be used to include [Google Analytics |
| 4](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4) to your page via the Google tag |
| (`gtag.js`). By default, it fetches the original scripts after hydration occurs on the page. |
| |
| > **Recommendation**: If Google Tag Manager is already included in your application, you can |
| > configure Google Analytics directly using it, rather than including Google Analytics as a separate |
| > component. Refer to the |
| > [documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/tag-options#what-is-gtm) |
| > to learn more about the differences between Tag Manager and `gtag.js`. |
| |
| <AppOnly> |

| #### Sending Events |
| |
| The `sendGAEvent` function can be used to measure user interactions on your page by sending events |
| using the `dataLayer` object. For this function to work, the `<GoogleAnalytics />` component must be |

| Refer to the Google Analytics [developer |
| documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/event-parameters) to learn |
| more about event parameters. |
| |
| #### Tracking Pageviews |
| |
| Google Analytics automatically tracks pageviews when the browser history state changes. This means |
| that client-side navigations between Next.js routes will send pageview data without any configuration. |
| |
| To ensure that client-side navigations are being measured correctly, verify that the [_“Enhanced |
| Measurement”_](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9216061#enable_disable) property is |
| enabled in your Admin panel and the _“Page changes based on browser history events”_ checkbox is |
| selected. |
| |
| > **Note**: If you decide to manually send pageview events, make sure to disable the default |
| > pageview measurement to avoid having duplicate data. Refer to the Google Analytics [developer |
| > documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/views?client_type=gtag#manual_pageviews) |
| > to learn more. |
| |
| #### Options |

| | Name | Type | Description | |
| | --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| | `gaId` | Required | Your [measurement ID](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12270356). Usually starts with `G-`. | |
| | `dataLayerName` | Optional | Name of the data layer. Defaults to `dataLayer`. | |
| | `nonce` | Optional | A [nonce](/docs/app/guides/content-security-policy#nonces). | |
| |
| ### Google Maps Embed |
| |
| The `GoogleMapsEmbed` component can be used to add a [Google Maps |
| Embed](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/embedding-map) to your page. By |
| default, it uses the `loading` attribute to lazy-load the embed below the fold. |
| |
| <AppOnly> |
| |
| ```jsx filename="app/page.js" |
| import { GoogleMapsEmbed } from '@next/third-parties/google' |
