eventCallback not supported

[iskrenvankov]

Hi,

I am trying to execute some code only after the data layer event has been successfully pushed. The usual way to do this with the plain js gtm library is to use the eventCallback and eventTimeout properties. For instance, checkout this SO answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38976722/1507558 which shows this snippet:

window.dataLayer.push({
  'event' : 'processLink',
  'eventCallback' : function() {
    window.location = targetUrl
  },
  'eventTimeout' : 2000
});

Using react-gtm now, I can't find a way to use the eventCallback property. If I pass a function, it gets dropped and is not present in the dataLayer event object passed.

Could you advise on how to solve this situation using react-gtm?

@iskrenvankov as i read the code base there is a workaround to that (but you should use ts-ignore flag if you are using type script)

https://github.com/alinemorelli/react-gtm/blob/b1257405a82e900c174032a773a8ba70a8628081/src/TagManager.js#L46

as we can see in this line you should add it to dataLayer object, like this:

TagManager.dataLayer({
      dataLayer: {
        event: "event",
        eventCallback : function() {
          window.location = targetUrl;
        },
        eventTimeout: 2000
      },
      dataLayerName: "name",
 });
