Google Analytics and Angular
The Scenario: You’ve built your web app using Angular and you’re just about ready to launch. You’d like some tracking to keep an eye on flow and behavior through your app (because you build > test > iterate, right?!).
The Problem: What you need to track are states. You already know how to insert Virtual Pageviews with Google Analytics, but that won’t work with Angular. So what do you do?
The Solution: Thanks to Angulartics, you can automatically track virtual pageviews by default, including all navigation across all routes, through your entire application.
Once you’ve followed the instructions provided for installing the Angularitics package into your project, and you’ve added the attributes to the elements you’d like to virtually track, test them out!
