# Getting started with Vercel Web Analytics

This guide will help you get started with using Vercel Web Analytics on your project, showing you how to enable it, add the package to your project, deploy your app to Vercel, and view your data in the dashboard.

**Select your framework to view instructions on using the Vercel Web Analytics in your project**.

## Prerequisites

- A Vercel account. If you don't have one, you can [sign up for free](https://vercel.com/signup).
- A Vercel project. If you don't have one, you can [create a new project](https://vercel.com/new).
- The Vercel CLI installed. If you don't have it, you can install it using the following command:
  <CodeBlock>
    <Code tab="pnpm">
      ```bash
      pnpm i vercel
      ```
    </Code>
    <Code tab="yarn">
      ```bash
      yarn i vercel
      ```
    </Code>
    <Code tab="npm">
      ```bash
      npm i vercel
      ```
    </Code>
    <Code tab="bun">
      ```bash
      bun i vercel
      ```
    </Code>
  </CodeBlock>

- ### Enable Web Analytics in Vercel
  On the [Vercel dashboard](/dashboard), select your Project and then click the **Analytics** tab and click **Enable** from the dialog.
  > **💡 Note:** Enabling Web Analytics will add new routes (scoped at `/_vercel/insights/*`)
  > after your next deployment.

      },
    }),
  });
  ```

  import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

  </script>
  <script defer src="/_vercel/insights/script.js"></script>
  ```
  > For \['html']:
  > For \['other']:
  Import the `inject` function from the package, which will add the tracking script to your app. **This should only be called once in your app, and must run in the client**.

  > **💡 Note:** There is no route support with the `inject` function.

  Add the following code to your main app file:
  ```ts filename="main.ts" framework=other
  import { inject } from '@vercel/analytics';

  inject();
  ```
  ```js filename="main.js" framework=other
  import { inject } from '@vercel/analytics';

  inject();
  ```
  > For \['create-react-app']:
  The `Analytics` component is a wrapper around the tracking script, offering more seamless integration with React.

  Add the following code to the main app file:
  ```tsx {1, 7} filename="App.tsx" framework=create-react-app
  import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/react';

  export default function App() {
    return (
      <div>
        {/* ... */}
        <Analytics />
      </div>
    );
  }
  ```
  ```jsx {1, 7} filename="App.jsx" framework=create-react-app
  import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/react';

  export default function App() {
    return (
      <div>
        {/* ... */}
        <Analytics />
      </div>
    );
  }
  ```
  > For \['vue']:
  The `Analytics` component is a wrapper around the tracking script, offering more seamless integration with Vue.

  Add the following code to your main component:
  ```tsx {2,6} filename="src/App.vue" framework=vue
  <script setup lang="ts">
  import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/vue';
  </script>

  <template>
    <Analytics />
    <!-- your content -->
  </template>
  ```
  ```jsx {2,6} filename="src/App.vue" framework=vue
  <script setup>
  import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/vue';
  </script>

  <template>
    <Analytics />
    <!-- your content -->
  </template>
  ```

- ### Deploy your app to Vercel
  Deploy your app using the following command:
  ```bash filename="terminal"
  vercel deploy
  ```
  If you haven't already, we also recommend [connecting your project's Git repository](/docs/git#deploying-a-git-repository),
  which will enable Vercel to deploy your latest commits to main without terminal commands.

  Once your app is deployed, it will start tracking visitors and page views.
  > **💡 Note:** If everything is set up properly, you should be able to see a Fetch/XHR
  > request in your browser's Network tab from `/_vercel/insights/view` when you
  > visit any page.

- ### View your data in the dashboard
  Once your app is deployed, and users have visited your site, you can view your data in the dashboard.

  To do so, go to your [dashboard](/dashboard), select your project, and click the **Analytics** tab.

  After a few days of visitors, you'll be able to start exploring your data by viewing and [filtering](/docs/analytics/filtering) the panels.

  Users on Pro and Enterprise plans can also add [custom events](/docs/analytics/custom-events) to their data to track user interactions such as button clicks, form submissions, or purchases.
