Third Party Libraries

@next/third-parties is a library that provides a collection of components and utilities that improve the performance and developer experience of loading popular third-party libraries in your Next.js application.

Good to know: @next/third-parties is a new experimental library that is still under active development. We're currently working on adding more third-party integrations.

All third-party integrations provided by @next/third-parties have been optimized for performance and ease of use.

Getting Started

To get started, you must install the @next/third-parties library:

npm install @next/third-parties

Google Third-Parties

All supported third-party libraries from Google can be imported from @next/third-parties/google.

Google Tag Manager

The GoogleTagManager component can be used to instantiate a Google Tag Manager container to your page. By default, it fetches the original inline script after hydration occurs on the page.

To load Google Tag Manager for all routes, include the component directly in your custom _app:

import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'
 
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
      <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" />
    </>
  )
}

To load Google Tag Manager for a single route, include the component in your page file:

import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'
 
export default function Page() {
  return <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" />
}

Sending Events

The sendGTMEvent function can be used to track user interactions on your page by sending events using the dataLayer object. For this function to work, the <GoogleTagManager /> component must be included in either a parent layout, page, or component, or directly in the same file.

import { sendGTMEvent } from '@next/third-parties/google'
 
export function EventButton() {
  return (
    <div>
      <button
        onClick={() => sendGTMEvent({ event: 'buttonClicked', value: 'xyz' })}
      >
        Send Event
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

Refer to the Tag Manager documentation to learn about the different variables and events that can be passed into the function.

Options

Options to pass to the Google Tag Manager. For a full list of options, read the Google Tag Manager docs.

Google Maps Embed

The GoogleMapsEmbed component can be used to add a Google Maps Embed to your page. By default, it uses the loading attribute to lazy-load the embed below the fold.

import { GoogleMapsEmbed } from '@next/third-parties/google'
 
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <GoogleMapsEmbed
      apiKey="XYZ"
      height={200}
      width="100%"
      mode="place"
      q="Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY"
    />
  )
}

Options

YouTube Embed

The YouTubeEmbed component can be used to load and display a YouTube embed. This component loads faster by using lite-youtube-embed under the hood.

import { YouTubeEmbed } from '@next/third-parties/google'
 
export default function Page() {
  return <YouTubeEmbed videoid="ogfYd705cRs" height={400} params="controls=0" />
}
