Grab Google Analytics Data in remote account from Firebase Functions

By -
Although Google analytics Login is isolated from other Google services, you can easily access the analytics data from another service.  I am going to demonstrate how to retrieve google analytics data from firebase functions.



You need to use googleAPI node package as an assistant.

In coding, you have to use  JWT authentication in order to avoid async await issue in Google Cloud functions. Currently stable version of cloud functions is Nodejs 6.

You have to download the service-account.json from Firebase or google cloud. In firebase, it is located at the following link. You have to generate a new private key.

https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/<project-id>/settings/serviceaccounts/adminsdk

Make sure it contains the client email. That email need to be added in Analytics >>admin >> User Management Section as a user.

https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/


The code block in the batchGet fuctions will execute in firebase functions nodejs V6.

const { Compute } = require('google-auth-library');
const  {google} = require('googleapis');
const prettyjson = require('prettyjson');
var scopes = [
  "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
  "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/firebase.database",
  "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly"
];

const fs = require('fs');

var pretty_json_options = {
  noColor: false
};

// pass the service accout auth in firebase functions
const clientSecretJson = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'service-account.json')));

const jwtClient = new google.auth.JWT(clientSecretJson.client_email, null,clientSecretJson.private_key, scopes, null);

function batchGet() {
const authPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  jwtClient.authorize((err, tokens) => {
    if (err) {
      return reject(err);
    }
    // This is the part that doesn't happen when using promisify.
    jwtClient.setCredentials(tokens);
    console.log('jwtClient ',jwtClient);
    var  agent = google.analyticsreporting({
       version: 'v4',
       auth:jwtClient
     })
   console.log('agent ');

     return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
       const res = agent.reports.batchGet({
         resource: {
           reportRequests: [ .  // quary to get unique page views in last week
             {
               viewId: "<viewID>",
               dateRanges: [
                 {
                   startDate: '7daysAgo',
                   endDate: 'today'
                 }
               ],
               metrics: [
                 {
                   expression: 'ga:uniquePageviews'
                 }
               ],
               dimensions: [
                 {
                   name:"ga:pagePath"
                 }],
                 "orderBys":
                 [
                   {"fieldName": "ga:uniquePageviews", "sortOrder": "DESCENDING"}
                 ]
               }
             ],
           },
         }, (error, response) => {
           if(error){
              console.log('error ',error);
              reject(error);
           }else {

             var dataResopnse =response.data;
            var reports=  dataResopnse.reports;

                  var rowObject =reports[0]['data']['rows'];
                   console.log('rowObject ',rowObject);
             //console.log(prettyjson.render(response.data, pretty_json_options));
              //console.log('res ',res);
             resolve(response);
           }

          })
       })

    //resolve(jwtClient);
  });
});
}
batchGet();  


Following codings make my life easy.

react-quill Integrate quill-image-resize-module

React-qill  is a great free package which can be used for design editors. However, if you are using the image upload feature, there is a problem of integrating resize package. This was discussed in may treads and I was able to find the best approach integrate it with react-starter-app. https://www.npmjs.com/package/quill-image-resize-module If you use the following code, import Quill from ' quill ' ; import { ImageResize } from ' quill-image-resize-module ' ; Quill . register ( ' modules/imageResize ' , ImageResize); const quill = new Quill (editor, { // ... modules : { // ... imageResize : { // See optional "config" below } } }); The following error is common. TypeError: Cannot read property 'imports' of undefined var d = window.Quill.imports.parchment In order to overcome the issue , you have to update the node_modules/react-scripts/config/webpack.config.
