gatsby-plugin-matomo

⚛️📄🚀 Gatsby plugin to add Matomo (formerly Piwik) onto a site.

Features

Plugin uses sensible defaults prioritizing user experience & privacy:

• include tracking code in all server-side rendered routes
• track all route views as custom events
• load tracking scripts at end of body tag
• use image tracking fallback for noscript
• don't load anything when visitor has Do Not Track enabled
• don't load anything in non-production environments
• allow loading tracking script locally
• dev mode for local development

Usage

1. First, install the plugin from your project's root:

   cd yourproject/
   npm i gatsby-plugin-matomo

2. Then load the plugin from your gatsby-config.js and set the required variables:

   plugins: [
     {
       resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-matomo',
       options: {
         siteId: 'YOUR_SITE_ID',
         matomoUrl: 'https://YOUR_MATOMO_URL.COM',
         siteUrl: 'https://YOUR_LIVE_SITE_URL.COM'
       }
     }
   ]

3. That's it!

NOTE: By default, this plugin only generates output when run in production mode. To test your tracking code, run gatsby build && gatsby serve, or set dev option to true.

Options

Option	Explanation
siteId	Your Matomo site ID configured in your Matomo installation.
matomoUrl	The url of your Matomo installation.
siteUrl	The url of your site, usually the same as siteMetadata.siteUrl. Only used for generating the url for noscript image tracking fallback.
localScript	(optional) Set path to load local piwik.js script, instead of loading it from your matomoUrl.
dev	(optional) Activate dev mode by setting to true. Will load all scripts despite not running in production environment. Ignores your local browser's DNT header too. Outputs some information in console about what it is doing. Useful for local testing but careful: all hits will be send like in production.
