IMPORTANT: This package is a Work in Progress.

A Next.js component and hook for integrating Yandex Metrika analytics into your Next.js application (version 14 and above).

Installation

Install the package:

npm install @koiztech/next-yandex-metrika
# or
pnpm add @koiztech/next-yandex-metrika

Add the Yandex Metrika ID to your environment variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_YANDEX_ID=your_counter_id

Usage

1. Add the Yandex Metrika component

First, add the YandexMetrika component to your app layout or page:

// app/layout.tsx
import { YandexMetrika } from '@koiztech/next-yandex-metrika'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        {children}
        <YandexMetrika />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

The YandexMetrika component accepts the following props:

  • clickmap (optional): Enable click map collection (default: true)
  • trackLinks (optional): Enable external link tracking (default: true)
  • accurateTrackBounce (optional): Enable accurate bounce rate tracking (default: true)
  • webvisor (optional): Enable session recording (default: false)
  • strategy (optional): Script loading strategy ('lazyOnload' | 'afterInteractive' | 'beforeInteractive', default: 'afterInteractive'). Reference.

e.g.:

<YandexMetrika clickmap={true} trackLinks={true} accurateTrackBounce={true} webvisor={false} strategy="afterInteractive" />

2. (optional) Track Page Views

The Yandex Metrika Tag by itself fails to track page views accurately in Next.js.

For this reason, there's an additional hook that you can use to track page views: usePageViews.

You could add it to your app/layout.tsx directly or – if your app is SSR – to a client layout, e.g.:

// e.g. src/components/LayoutClient.tsx
'use client'
import { usePageViews } from '@koiztech/next-yandex-metrika'

export default function LayoutClient({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  usePageViews()
  return <>{children}</>
}
// app/layout.tsx
import LayoutClient from '@/components/LayoutClient'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: Readonly<{
  children: React.ReactNode
}>) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>  
        <LayoutClient>
          {children}
        </LayoutClient>
        <YandexMetrika clickmap={true} trackLinks={true} accurateTrackBounce={true} webvisor={false} />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

...or you can use the hook on specific pages:

// e.g. app/page.tsx
'use client'
import { usePageViews } from '@koiztech/next-yandex-metrika'

export default function App() {
  usePageViews()
  return <div>Your app content</div>
}

Note: Use only on client components.

The usePageViews hook accepts an options object with the following properties:

  • ignoreHashChange (optional): Disable tracking of hash changes (default: false)
  • disabled (optional): Disable page view tracking (default: false)
