Native Implementation
While this library is mainly for Vue, the core Tag Manager is just a javascript object, so it's been exported too. It can be used as such:
<!-- In code later -->
To-do
- Initital implementation from React GTM
- Basic Vue Plugin
- Shell out tests
- Simplify the URL + snippet generation and injection
- Vue prototype property
- Basic implementation - don't break on SSR
- Vue auto-track router
- Vue track directive
- More through docs with examples
- SSR support
Why need another GTM library?
Initially used vue-gtm which is a great library, but wanted to be able to programatically configure the GTMID and initial DataLayer.
Really liked the React GTM script injection dev experience, and liked the Vue GTM dev and track experience (as a Vue Plugin, with the $gtm
interface). So this plugin aims to combine both of them into this simple library.
