Google Analytics Integration with Nova

Installation

You can install the package in to a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require tightenco/nova-google-analytics

For now, follow the directions on Spatie's Laravel Google Analytics package for getting your credentials, then put them here:

yourapp/storage/app/analytics/service-account-credentials.json

Also add this to the .env for your Nova app:

ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID=

Upgrading to 4.0

Version 4.0 uses the new Google Analytics 4 Data API.

• Upgrades spatie/laravel-analytics to v5.2
  • Drops support for PHP 8.0
  • Drops support for Laravel 9
• Removes FourteenDayActiveUsersMetric metric which is not available in GA4

The required environment variable ANALYTICS_VIEW_ID has been renamed to ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID to match Google's usage.

Usage

You must register the cards you want to display with Nova. This is typically done in the cards method of the Main dashboard.

// in app/Nova/Dashboards/Main.php

// ...

public function cards()
{
    return [
        // ...
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\PageViewsMetric,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\VisitorsMetric,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\MostVisitedPagesCard,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\ReferrersList,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\OneDayActiveUsersMetric,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\SevenDayActiveUsersMetric,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\TwentyEightDayActiveUsersMetric,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\SessionsMetric,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\SessionDurationMetric,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\SessionsByDeviceMetric,
        new \Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\SessionsByCountryMetric,
    ];
}

Register the tool with Nova in the tools method of your NovaServiceProvider:

// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php

// ...

public function tools()
{
    return [
        new Tightenco\NovaGoogleAnalytics\Tool(),
    ];
}

Testing

First, copy your .env.example file to a new file called .env.testing:

cp .env.example .env.testing

Make sure, in that file, to define the following variables to run all tests:

ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID
ANALYTICS_PROJECT_ID
ANALYTICS_PRIVATE_KEY_ID
ANALYTICS_PRIVATE_KEY
ANALYTICS_CLIENT_EMAIL_KEY
ANALYTICS_CLIENT_ID
ANALYTICS_CLIENT_CERT_URL

Add the .env.testing file in .gitignore so you can safely use the same analytics view ID to run the tests that you use for the card.
