Vue.js Implementation Guide

Using Vue Plugins

// Install vue-gtag
npm install vue-gtag

// main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import VueGtag from 'vue-gtag'

const app = createApp(App)
app.use(VueGtag, {
  config: {
    id: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX'
  }
})

Use Vue plugins like vue-gtag for Google Analytics or vue-analytics for easy integration.

Using Composables

// composables/useAnalytics.js
import { onMounted } from 'vue'

export function useAnalytics() {
  const trackEvent = (eventName, params) => {
    if (window.gtag) {
      window.gtag('event', eventName, params)
    }
  }
  
  return { trackEvent }
}

Create reusable composables for analytics tracking across your Vue components.
