# React Native: GoogleTagManager

* [Setup](/redux-beacon/index/react-native-google-tag-manager.md#setup)
* [Usage](/redux-beacon/index/react-native-google-tag-manager.md#usage)
* [Event Definitions](/redux-beacon/index/react-native-google-tag-manager.md#event-definitions)

## Setup

1. Sign up for Google Tag Manager and [create a mobile container](https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6103696?hl=en#MobileContainers). Select **Legacy** for SDK Version, and be sure to make a note of your property's [tracking Id](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008080).
2. Install the following npm package, [GoogleAnalyticsBridge](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-google-analytics-bridge).
3. For each mobile platform (Android or iOS), you need to follow its corresponding [manual installation](https://github.com/idehub/react-native-google-analytics-bridge/wiki/Manual-installation) for GoogleAnalyticsBridge usage.
4. Install the target:

   ```bash
   npm install --save @redux-beacon/react-native-google-tag-manager
   ```

## Usage

```javascript
   import { Platform } from 'react-native';
   import { GoogleTagManager as GTMBridge } from 'react-native-google-analytics-bridge';
   import GoogleTagManager from '@redux-beacon/react-native-google-tag-manager';

   // Create or import an events map.
   // See "getting started" pages for instructions.

   const containerId = (Platform.OS === 'ios') ? 'GTM-IOSXXXX' : 'GTM-ANDROID';

   const gtm = GoogleTagManager(containerId, GTMBridge);
   const gtmMiddleware = createMiddleware(eventsMap, gtm);
```

## Event Definitions

```javascript
const event = (action, prevState, nextState) => {
  return {
    event: /* fill me in */,
    /* add any additional key/value pairs below */,
  };
};
```

### Notes

* If an event object doesn't have an `event` property, but has a `hitType` property, this target will create an `event` property and set it to the `hitType` string. For example:

  ```javascript
  // Given the following event definition
  const pageview = action => ({
    hitType: 'pageview',
    page: action.payload,
  });

  // Say the action is equal to
  // { type: LOCATION_CHANGE, payload: '/home' }
  // The following object will get pushed to the dataLayer
  const dataLayerEvent = {
    hitType: 'pageview',
    event: 'pageview', // this is done automatically
    page: '/home',
  };
  ```

{% hint style="info" %}
This gives you the option to use the event definitions exposed by the [Google Analytics target](broken://pages/-L8oOdRl7fxTyScYqz7w#event-definitions)
{% endhint %}
