I'm encountering some challenges while trying to incorporate Google Analytics into my Next.js application. One issue I'm facing is the absence of an _app.js or _document.js file in the project structure. Additionally, I notice that when I include the GA script in my layout.tsx component, it doesn't appear to be injected into the page.
Below is a snippet from my layout.tsx file:
import "./css/style.css";
import { Inter } from "next/font/google";
import Header from "@/components/ui/header";
import Head from "next/head";
const inter = Inter({
subsets: ["latin"],
variable: "--font-inter",
display: "swap",
});
export const metadata = {
title: "Create Next App",
description: "Generated by create next app",
};
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
// code block here
}
Despite inserting the Google Analytics script within the <Head> component, it doesn't seem to be recognized when I check the page or utilize Google Tag Assistant.
The current structure of my project is as follows:
- app
- (default)
- layout.tsx
- components
- ui
- utils
- pages
- page.tsx
- public
- styles
My expectation is that the Google Analytics script should be integrated into the <head> of the document, but this is not occurring. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance on the correct method to integrate Google Analytics effectively into this environment.
