Step 1: Add rudderInitialize.js file in the Next.js project with following code snippet
export async function rudderInitialize() {
(function() {
var e = (window.rudderanalytics = window.rudderanalytics || []);
(e.methods = [
'load',
'page',
'track',
'identify',
'alias',
'group',
'ready',
'reset',
'getAnonymousId',
'setAnonymousId',
'getUserId',
'getUserTraits',
'getGroupId',
'getGroupTraits',
'startSession',
'endSession',
]),
(e.factory = function(t) {
return function() {
e.push([t].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
};
});
for (var t = 0; t < e.methods.length; t++) {
var r = e.methods[t];
e[r] = e.factory(r);
}
(e.loadJS = function(e, t) {
var r = document.createElement('script');
(r.type = 'text/javascript'),
(r.async = !0),
(r.src = 'https://cdn.rudderlabs.com/v1.1/rudder-analytics.min.js');
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
a.parentNode.insertBefore(r, a);
}),
e.loadJS(),
e.load('WRITE-KEY', 'DATAPLANE-URL'), // Replace 'WRITE-KEY' and 'DATAPLANE-URL'
e.page();
})();
}
Step 2: Add following code on index.js inside pages folder
import React from 'react';
import { rudderInitialize } from '../rudderInitialize';
export default function Home() {
React.useEffect(() => {
rudderInitialize();
}, []);
const search = () => {
window.rudderanalytics.page();
window.rudderanalytics.track("Track Event.");
};
