Update to use of autotrack

[pke]

Google released the Autotrack node module https://github.com/googleanalytics/autotrack
Are there any plans to upgrade this react-ga to the Autotrack module?

Hey @pke , react-ga already has support for plugins. Install the autotrack plugin separately and load the plugin via ga.plugin.require('autotrack').

More documentation can be found here: https://github.com/react-ga/react-ga#gapluginrequirename

Ah cool. Ok. I rolled out my own solution for now using the GA Universal API. It works except for the event reporting. So maybe I'll give react-ga another try later.

I'm having trouble getting the maxScrollTracker to work.
I npm installed autotrack, then put ReactGA.plugin.require('autotrack'); and ReactGA.plugin.execute('autotrack', 'maxScrollTracker'); in the page I wanted to track. What am I missing?

   1import React, { FC } from 'react';
   2
   3import ReactGA from 'react-ga';
   4import 'autotrack';
   7
   8export const AnalyticsProvider: FC = ({ children }) => {
  11  ReactGA.initialize(process.env.GA_ID, {
  12    debug: true,
  13    gaOptions: { userId: user.id },
  14  });
  17
  18  ReactGA.plugin.require('autotrack');
  21
  22  return <>{children}</>;
  23};

this does not enable autotrack. why?
