🥂 Gatsby plugin to add Matomo (formerly Piwik) onto a site. https://kremalicious.com/gatsby-plugin-matomo/


Deprecation notice: Gatsby has been abandoned (see "Is Gatsby discontinued?" and "Is GatsbyJS Officially Dead?") so this plugin is deprecated and won't receive any more updates.


Features

Plugin uses sensible defaults prioritizing user experience, performance & 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
  • consent mode for privacy
  • allow loading tracking script locally
  • define paths to be excluded from tracking
  • preconnect to configured Matomo host url
  • 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.
matomoPhpScript (optional) The name of your Matomo PHP script. Defaults to matomo.php
matomoJsScript (optional) The name of your Matomo JS script. Defaults to matomo.js
exclude (optional) Specify an array of pathnames where tracking code will be excluded. The pathname /offline-plugin-app-shell-fallback/ is excluded by default.
requireConsent (optional) If true, tracking will be disabled until you call window._paq.push(['setConsentGiven']);.
requireCookieConsent (optional) If true, no cookies will be stored or used until you call window._paq.push(['setCookieConsentGiven']);.
disableCookies (optional) If true, no cookie will be used by Matomo.
cookieDomain (optional) Specify cookie domain.
localScript (optional) If set, load local matomo.js script from the given path, instead of loading it from your matomoUrl.
trackLoad (optional) If true, it will track the loading of the matomo library. Defaults to true.
respectDnt (optional) If false, will load all scripts without respecting user preference to Do Not Track on browsers. Defaults to true.
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.
enableJSErrorTracking (optional) Enable basic JavaScript error tracking and reporting in Matomo by setting to true.
additionalTrackers (optional) An array of additional trackers to track on different Matomo servers. Additional trackers are objects with the keys siteId and trackerUrl containing the full URL to the Matomo PHP script. Defaults to [].
