README
Easier way to add Google Tag Manager to your Laravel application. Including support for User-ID, E-commerce and Server Side Events (Measurement Protocol).
Laravel support
Installation
Read the article on Medium.com for a more detailed instruction: Medium: Add Google Analytics to your Laravel application with Google Tag Manager.
1. Install package
Install the package
composer require label84/laravel-tagmanager
2. Add the head and body tag to your (layout) view
Add the head tag directly above the closing </head> tag and the body tag directly after the opening <body> tag.
<x-tagmanager-head /> </head> <body> <x-tagmanager-body />
3. Add the TagManagerMiddleware to your Kernel
Add the TagManagerMiddleware directly after the StartSession middleware in your 'web' middleware group.
// app/Http/Kernel.php protected $middlewareGroups = [ 'web' => [ \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class, ... \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class, \Label84\TagManager\Http\Middleware\TagManagerMiddleware::class, ...
4. Publish the config file
Publish the config file. This will generate a tagmanager.php file in your config directory.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Label84\TagManager\TagManagerServiceProvider" --tag="config"
5. Add your GTM ID to your .env
// .env GOOGLE_TAG_MANAGER_ID=GTM-XXXXXX GOOGLE_TAG_MANAGER_ENABLED=true
Go to https://tagmanager.google.com and copy the 'Container ID' of the account (it looks like GTM-XXXXXXX).
Usage
use Label84\TagManager\Facades\TagManager; TagManager::push(['foo' => 'bar']);
Events
You can also use the following methods. These will automatically set the correct event key and value.
use Label84\TagManager\Facades\TagManager; TagManager::event('kissed', ['status' => 'failed', 'count' => 0]); TagManager::login(['foo' => 'bar']); TagManager::register(['foo' => 'bar']);
You can find a list of recommended events on: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9267735?hl=en
User-ID
This package also supports the User-ID feature.
To start using the User-ID feature you've to add the TagManagerUserIdMiddleware in your 'web' middleware group directly after the TagManagerMiddleware.
// app/Http/Kernel.php protected $middlewareGroups = [ 'web' => [ ... \Label84\TagManager\Http\Middleware\TagManagerMiddleware::class, \Label84\TagManager\Http\Middleware\TagManagerUserIdMiddleware::class, ...
By default the 'id' of the User model will be used. You change the key in config/tagmanager.php.

Ecommerce (GA4)
You can use the following snippets to trigger an Ecommerce event with Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
Ecommerce item
The TagManagerItem class allows you to easily create an Ecommerce item. You can set extra parameters with dynamic calls. Method names are used as keys and automatically converted to underscore case.
use Label84\TagManager\TagManagerItem; new TagManagerItem(string $id, string $name, float $price, float $quantity);
Example: create item
use Label84\TagManager\TagManagerItem; $item1 = new TagManagerItem('12345', 'Triblend Android T-Shirt', 15.25, 1); $item1->itemBrand('Google') // will add the item parameter { item_brand: 'Google' } ->itemCategory('Apparel') // will add the item parameter { item_category: 'Apparel' } ->itemVariant('Gray'); // will add the item parameter { item_variant: 'Gray' }
Ecommerce events
The items parameter can be a single TagManagerItem item or an array of TagManagerItem items. You can also use plain arrays if you don't want to use the TagManagerItem class.
use Label84\TagManager\Facades\TagManager; // Product views and interactions TagManager::viewItemList($items); TagManager::viewItem($items); TagManager::selectItem($items); // Promotion views and interactions TagManager::viewPromotion($items); TagManager::selectPromotion($items); // Pre-purchase interactions TagManager::addToWishList(string $currency, float $value, $items); TagManager::addToCart($items); TagManager::removeFromCart($items); TagManager::viewCart(string $currency, float $value, $items); // Purchases, checkouts, and refunds TagManager::beginCheckout($items); TagManager::addPaymentInfo(string $currency, float $value, string $paymentType, $items, string $coupon = ''); TagManager::addShippingInfo(string $currency, float $value, string $shippingTier, $items, string $coupon = ''); TagManager::purchase(string $transactionId, string $affiliation, string $currency, float $value, float $tax, float $shipping, $items, string $coupon = ''); TagManager::refund(string $transactionId, string $affiliation, string $currency, float $value, float $tax, float $shipping, $items, string $coupon = '');
Example: call event with item
use Label84\TagManager\Facades\TagManager; TagManager::purchase('00001', 'Google', 'EUR', 12.10, 2.10, 0, [ new TagManagerItem('12345', 'Triblend Android T-Shirt', 10.00, 1), ]);

Server Side Events
The Google Analytics Measurement Protocol allows developers to make HTTP requests to send raw user interaction data directly to Google Analytics servers. This allows developers to measure how users interact with their business from almost any environment. Developers can then use the Measurement Protocol to:
- Measure user activity in new environments.
- Tie online to offline behavior.
- Send data from both the client and server.
Measurement Protocol
You need complete the general installation steps first, such as adding the .env variables, adding the head and body tags to your layout file and adding the TagManagerMiddleware.
Add the following extra variables to your .env file.
// .env # Found in the Google Analytics UI under Admin > Data Streams > choose your stream > Measurement ID. The measurement_id isn't your Stream ID. GOOGLE_MEASUREMENT_ID=G-XXXXXX # Found in the Google Analytics UI under Admin > Data Streams > choose your stream > Measurement Protocol API Secrets GOOGLE_MEASUREMENT_PROTOCOL_API_SECRET=XXXXXX
Add the following snippet to the head of your blade layout file (below the existing x-tagmanager-head tag).
<x-tagmanager-head /> <x-tagmanager-measurement-protocol-client-id /> </head> <body>
use Label84\TagManager\Facades\MeasurementProtocol; MeasurementProtocol::event('some_event', ['foo' => 'bar']); // Set a specific User-ID for this event (you can customize the key in the config file) MeasurementProtocol::user($someUser)->event('some_event', ['foo' => 'bar']);
You can view the events directly in the Google Analytics UI under Realtime > Events.
Measurement Protocol Debug Mode
You can enable the debug mode by calling the debug() method. This will return a JSON validation response instead of sending the request to Google Analytics.
If there are any errors, they will be returned in the validation messages response. If there are no errors, the validation response array will be empty.
use Label84\TagManager\Facades\MeasurementProtocol; dd( MeasurementProtocol::debug()->event('some_event', ['foo' => 'bar']) );
