Hey there @EdricChan03, we're definitely planning to add support in short order here. Thanks for raising!

In regards to this does the new Analytics (just tracking) not work at all?

For example I updated my environment configs to add the measurementId property but nothing happens.

You can get analytics up and running right now by using firebase directly.
you simply have to import the analytics script in your main.ts

import 'firebase/analytics';

and call firebase.analytics() somewhere in your code - i did it in app.component.ts

import * as firebase from 'firebase/app'

ngOnInit() {
 firebase.analytics()
}

@dominikstrasser Thanks

I tried, but there is no analytics method in firebase

I am using "firebase": "^6.6.2", "@angular/fire": "^5.2.1",

Also not able to install firebase 7 (if it's in that version) because I get below error
@angular/fire@5.2.0 requires a peer of firebase@>= 5.5.7 <7 but none is installed

even with @angular/fire@next I get
@angular/fire@5.2.0-rc.3 requires a peer of firebase@>= 5.5.7 <7 but none is installed

@RezaRahmati
Firebase Analytics for Web was just released with v7 of Firebase.

https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/js

either you install firebase@7.0.0 or wait for the @angular/fire implementation.

@RezaRahmati Use --force

[jamesdaniels]

I've been testing and it seems there's no obvious incompatibilities with Firebase v7, so force installing firebase 7 should be ok. Let me know if you run into anything. I'll be aiming to get an initial attempt out this week.

WIP #2187

@jimmykane where do you find the measurementId? I upgraded my Firebase project to integrate with Google Analytics, but I don't see the measurementId in the project settings config though.

[jimmykane]

@jsitu I found it in the project config.

[jamesdaniels]

After you upgrade you’ll need to get your settings again, or “create a web app” if you haven’t done that before.

Does angularfire have official documentation for integrating Google Analytics ?

Does angularfire have official documentation for integrating Google Analytics ?

Once this ticket is implemented you won't have to do this yourself in theory.

I've been testing Analytics on 5.3.0 and it is working properly! Tks

while installing use --force and it will get installed.
