🇷🇺 Русская версия

Why this package?

There are several Yandex Metrica packages for Next.js. Here's how they compare:

Feature @artginzburg/next-ym next-yandex-metrica react-yandex-metrika @koiztech/next-yandex-metrika
App Router
Pages Router
Auto SPA tracking ❌ manual
Ecommerce hooks ✅ typed
Safari ITP proxy ✅ built-in
TypeScript ✅ full partial
noscript fallback
Env-based tag ID
Test coverage 100% ✅ yes

react-yandex-metrika leads in downloads purely by age (2017) — it hasn't been updated since 2019 and has no Next.js App Router support. Migrating from it? See the migration guide.

Installation

pnpm add @artginzburg/next-ym

or

npm install @artginzburg/next-ym

Set your counter ID via environment variable (recommended):

NEXT_PUBLIC_YANDEX_METRICA_ID=12345678

Requires Next.js 11+ and React 17+.

Quick start

App Router

// app/layout.tsx
import { YandexMetricaProvider, standardYMInitParameters } from '@artginzburg/next-ym';

export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <YandexMetricaProvider initParameters={standardYMInitParameters}>
          {children}
        </YandexMetricaProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Pages Router

// pages/_app.tsx
import { YandexMetricaProvider, standardYMInitParameters } from '@artginzburg/next-ym';

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <YandexMetricaProvider initParameters={standardYMInitParameters}>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </YandexMetricaProvider>
  );
}

YandexMetricaProvider is a client component ("use client"). Make it the top-most wrapper in your layout's {children}.

That's it — pageviews are tracked automatically on every route change (both App Router and Pages Router). No extra setup needed for SPA navigation: YandexMetricaProvider hooks into next/navigation (App Router) and next/router (Pages Router) internally and fires ym(ID, 'hit', ...) on every transition.

Tracking events

import { useMetrica } from '@artginzburg/next-ym';

export function BuyButton() {
  const { reachGoal } = useMetrica();

  return <button onClick={() => reachGoal('purchase-click')}>Buy now</button>;
}

useMetrica exposes typed methods: reachGoal, notBounce, setUserID, userParams, and ymEvent for any other Yandex.Metrica method.

You can also use the ym function directly:

import { ym } from '@artginzburg/next-ym';

ym(12345678, 'reachGoal', 'cta-click');

Ecommerce

Full typed ecommerce support via the useEcommerce hook. Requires ecommerce: 'dataLayer' in init parameters (included in standardYMInitParameters).

import { useEcommerce } from '@artginzburg/next-ym';

// currencyCode is set once and applied to all calls
const { trackClickProduct, trackAddItemToBasket, trackPurchase } = useEcommerce({
  currencyCode: 'RUB',
});

Product tracking

Each product accepts: id, name (at least one required), and optional brand, category, price, quantity, variant, coupon, discount, list, position.

// Track product list impressions (accepts an array of products)
trackImpressionsProduct({
  products: [
    { id: '123', name: 'T-Shirt', price: 1500, list: 'Homepage' },
    { id: '456', name: 'Hoodie', price: 3500, list: 'Homepage' },
  ],
});

// Track product click / detail view / add to cart / remove from cart
// (all accept a single product)
trackClickProduct({ product: { id: '123', name: 'T-Shirt' } });
trackViewProduct({ product: { id: '123', name: 'T-Shirt', price: 1500 } });
trackAddItemToBasket({ product: { id: '123', name: 'T-Shirt', price: 1500, quantity: 1 } });
trackRemoveItemFromBasket({ product: { id: '123', name: 'T-Shirt' } });

Purchase

trackPurchase({
  actionField: {
    id: 'ORDER-789', // required — order ID
    revenue: 5000, // optional — overrides sum of product prices
    coupon: 'SALE10', // optional
    goal_id: 12345678, // optional — Metrica goal number
  },
  products: [
    { id: '123', name: 'T-Shirt', price: 1500, quantity: 2 },
    { id: '456', name: 'Hoodie', price: 2000, quantity: 1 },
  ],
});

Promo campaigns

trackPromoView({
  promotions: [{ id: 'SUMMER_SALE', name: 'Summer Sale', creative: 'banner_1', position: 'top' }],
});

trackPromoClick({
  promotion: { id: 'SUMMER_SALE', name: 'Summer Sale' },
});

All methods

Method Argument Description
trackImpressionsProduct { products: Product[] } Product list was shown
trackClickProduct { product: Product } Product was clicked
trackViewProduct { product: Product } Product detail page viewed
trackAddItemToBasket { product: Product } Added to cart
trackRemoveItemFromBasket { product: Product } Removed from cart
trackPurchase { actionField, products } Order completed
trackPromoView { promotions: PromoCampaign[] } Promo banner shown
trackPromoClick { promotion: PromoCampaign } Promo banner clicked
pushToDataLayer raw ecommerce data Escape hatch for custom payloads

Safari ITP proxy

Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention blocks third-party scripts from mc.yandex.ru. The built-in proxy makes the Metrica script appear as first-party:

// next.config.ts
import { withMetricaProxy } from '@artginzburg/next-ym/config';

const nextConfig = {
  /* your config */
};

export default withMetricaProxy(nextConfig);

That's it. The provider auto-detects the proxy and uses it. No extra props needed.

JavaScript-disabled fallback (noscript)

YandexMetricaProvider renders a <noscript> tracking pixel automatically — no configuration needed. Users with JavaScript disabled still count as visits in Metrica (the browser requests https://mc.yandex.ru/watch/<tagID> from inside the <noscript> tag).

<noscript id="yandex-metrica-pixel">
  <div>
    <img src="https://mc.yandex.ru/watch/12345678" style="position:absolute;left:-9999px" alt="" />
  </div>
</noscript>

Limitations of the noscript path: only the page view is registered. Webvisor, goals, ecommerce events, and any ym(...) calls require JavaScript — so treat the noscript pixel as a bare-minimum reach measurement, not a full replacement.

Consent-based tracking (GDPR)

To defer Metrica until the user consents, simply skip rendering the provider (or leave tagID unset) until you have consent. Metrica makes zero network requests while YandexMetricaProvider isn't mounted (or while tagID/NEXT_PUBLIC_YANDEX_METRICA_ID are both absent — in which case the provider just renders children and logs a dev warning).

'use client';

import { YandexMetricaProvider, standardYMInitParameters } from '@artginzburg/next-ym';
import { useConsent } from '@/hooks/useConsent';

export function AnalyticsGate({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const { analyticsAllowed } = useConsent();

  if (!analyticsAllowed) return <>{children}</>;

  return (
    <YandexMetricaProvider initParameters={standardYMInitParameters}>
      {children}
    </YandexMetricaProvider>
  );
}

When consent is later granted, the provider mounts and Metrica initializes. If consent is revoked, unmount the provider — the script has already loaded in this session (it can't be "un-loaded"), but no further ym() calls will be made by the library.

Late opt-in is safe: whenever YandexMetricaProvider mounts, its ym("init", ...) call includes url: location.href, so the current page is recorded as a hit at mount time. You don't need a manual router.refresh() or an extra ym("hit", ...) call.

Provider props

Prop Type Description
tagID number Yandex Metrica tag ID. Optional if NEXT_PUBLIC_YANDEX_METRICA_ID env var is set.
initParameters InitParameters Initialization parameters. Use standardYMInitParameters for the recommended defaults.
strategy ScriptProps['strategy'] next/script strategy. Default: afterInteractive.
shouldUseAlternativeCDN boolean Use the alternative CDN.
