## The idea behind the example

This example shows how to use [Next.js](https://github.com/zeit/next.js) along with [Google Analytics](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/). A custom [\_document](https://github.com/zeit/next.js/#custom-document) is used to inject [tracking snippet](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/) and track [pageviews](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/pages) and [event](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/events).
