hapi google analytics platform integration - updated for GA4

Cloning

Cloning via SSH from behind a firewall which blocks port 22:

``
git clone ssh://git@ssh.github.com:443/DEFRA/hapi-gapi
`

Installing the plugin

`
npm install --save @defra/hapi-gapi
`

Registering the plugin with hapi

`javascript
const Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi')
const HapiGapi = require('@defra/hapi-gapi')

const server = Hapi.server({
host: 'localhost',
port: 3000
})

await server.register({
plugin: HapiGapi,
options: {
propertySettings: [
{
id: 'G-YYYYYYY',
hitTypes: ['page_view']
}
],
sessionIdProducer: async request => {
// Would normally use the request object to retrieve the proper session identifier
return 'test-session'
}
}
})
`

| Option | Description |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| propertySettings | Defines the Google Analytics properties and the type of hits which are allowed to be sent to each. If empty, analytics data is not recorded (useful if you want to enable/disable via environment variables but still want the request decorated) |
| sessionIdProducer | A method to retrieve an identifier to differentiate each user session |

How to use

This plugin decorates the request object so that you can easily send data to Google Analytics. With the migration to GA4 this package sends basic pageview data with client ids and user ids generated by the session id producer. Page views can be sent as follows:

$3

`javascript
await request.ga.view(request)
`

NOTE: By default this is not necessary, the plugin will automatically send page-views by hooking into the onPreResponse lifecycle hook




$3


You can send any custom params you need:
`javascript
await request.ga.view(request, {
name: 'score'
params: {
test: 'test',
page_url: request.route.url
}
})
``
