begin checkout

[srakl]

Hi, is this how to do a begin checkout in the backend?

use AlexWestergaard\PhpGa4\Exception;
use AlexWestergaard\PhpGa4\Analytics;
use AlexWestergaard\PhpGa4\Event\BeginCheckout;
use AlexWestergaard\PhpGa4\Item;

try {
            // If gtag.js, this can be the _ga or _gid cookie
            // This can be any kind of session identifier
            $session = $_COOKIE['_ga'] ?? $_COOKIE['_gid'] ?? $_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'];

            $analytics = Analytics::new( 'G-XXXXXXXX','xYzzX_xYzzXzxyZxX')
            ->setClientId($session);

            $analytics->addEvent(new BeginCheckout);
            $analytics->setCurrency('usd');
            $analytics->setValue('60.00');
            $analytics->addItem([
                'item_id' => 'bla bla',
                'currency'=> 'USD',
                'price'   =>'60.00',
                'quantity'=> 1
            ]);
            $analytics->post();
        } catch (Exception\Ga4Exception $exception) {
            // Handle exception
            if (YII_DEBUG) dd($exception);
            Yii::error($exception);
        }

    [*:message] => 'Missing required parameter: items'

If you follow the code then you will see there is 3 layers.

Analytics[ Events[ Items ] ] ]

Add src/Item.php to your src/Event/BeginCheckout.php event, then add the event to src/Analytics.php.

You should not be able to addItem on Analytics, if this is doable then I will fix it later.

I just checked, you can not addItem on Analytics you just never get that far because you throw on addEvent, you're IDE should tell you as well.
