👽 Update the Google Analytics module to GA4

[Log1x]

Pushing this up in response to discourse.

This updates the Google Analytics module to GA4. The anonymize_ip and optimize_id config options have been removed and tags has been added to allow configuring custom gtag commands.

'google-analytics' => [
    'should_load' => true,
    'google_analytics_id' => 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',
    'tags' => [
        ['config', 'test', ['example' => 'value']],
        ['event', ['send' => 'pageview']],
    ],
],

would output:

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');

  gtag('config', 'test', {"example":"value"});
  gtag('event', {"send":"pageview"});
</script>

Note

Might be worth exploring renaming the module since GA4 is tied into GTM? 🤷 Not that big of a deal, though.

Todo

• Update soil.php plugin version.
• Update CHANGELOG.md version.
• Decide on release version (not sure what you want to bump the version too with it being a "breaking change")
• Add back defer?
