Google Analytics - Manually register pageview using gtag js










0















I'm new to GA. Let me go straight. I'd like to send page view to GA via Gtag.js from my javascript.



What I tried is I added



<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXXXXX"></script>


to my landing page.



Then added this to my script



gtag('config', GA_TRACKING_ID, 
'page_title': pageTitle,
'user_id': userId,
'page_path': pagePath
);


I can see gtag js loaded however getting error as "Uncaught ReferenceError: gtag is not defined"



When I added this snippet



window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || ;

function gtag()
dataLayer.push(arguments);

gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', GA_TRACKING_ID,
'page_title': pageTitle,
'user_id': userId,
'page_path': pagePath
);


it stopped giving the error but not sending pageview to GA.
Am I missing something?

          • on the network tab (dev console), I can see that it is not sending pageview. When I added this to HTML document it's working perfectly fine. The issue is only when I'm trying to send pageview from the script.

          My Bad. The issue was with GA_TRACKING_ID.
          I had one space " " in my GA_TRACKING_ID and it was causing the issue.
          Just removing that space worked.
