Question: Custom Fields

[tstrumfels]

I had previously used your vue-analytics library, and I saw that you recommended vue-gtag going forward.

We have a custom field for userId in our Google Analytics. Below was the usage to tell vue-analytics about it.

In this case, looking to accomplish the same thing with vue-gtag - to pass in the userID field from my app into the vue-gtag library.

Thanks!

Vue.use(VueAnalytics, { id: "GAID", fields: { userId: "user123", }, set: [

  { field: 'user_id', value: "user123" },

], router,

debug: { enabled: false, // default value trace: false, // default value sendHitTask: true, // default value }, });

you can achieve it by passing the params object in your configuration

Vue.use(VueGtag, { 
  config: {
    id: 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID',
    params: { 
      'user_id': 'user123'
    }
  }
})

Thanks Matteo! (good work on this, by the way!)

I will give this a go, although was able to achieve a different way as well.

Appreciate the timely response.

Hi @MatteoGabriele ,

Thanks for your answer. I'm wondering what would you recommend since the user can log in and log out (the user ID will change).

I know there is the setOptions() I could use, but how to re-init the complete GTag flow?

Thank you,

EDIT: ok it seems according to Google and also previous issues on vue-analytics the best way is to use set():

this.$gtag.set({'userId': 'USER_ID'}); // Set the user ID using signed-in user_id.

Sorry for disturbing. It may help in the set() doc page to talk about this example.
