JavaScript: How do I track pageviews/events/etc. using multiple trackers

If you’re building a JavaScript-based web app and manually need to track custom routes or events you can use the ga.getAll() method to get an array of registered trackers and then run the tracking logic for each tracker.

For example, this will track page views based on custom routes:

if ( typeof ga === 'function' && typeof ga.getAll === 'function' ) {
  ga.getAll().forEach(tracker => {
    tracker.set('page', *my-custom-route*); // Custom route e.g. '/my-page'
    tracker.send('pageview');
  })
}

And here’s an example of tracking custom events:

if ( typeof ga === 'function' && typeof ga.getAll === 'function' ) {
  ga.getAll().forEach(tracker => {
    tracker.send('event', {
      eventCategory: 'Search',
      eventAction: 'Query',
      eventLabel: *query*, // Your search query
      eventValue: *matches.length* // Optionally, send the number of matches for the query
    });
  })
}
