Use inside Class Components about matomo-tracker HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @JLyons1985, according to the React documentation it is not possible to use hooks in class components:

You can’t use Hooks inside a class component, but you can definitely mix classes and function components with Hooks in a single tree. Whether a component is a class or a function that uses Hooks is an implementation detail of that component. In the longer term, we expect Hooks to be the primary way people write React components.

Since the React team has expressed that Hooks will be the primary way of writing React components going forwards we have chosen not to support class style components.

We do however have a package called matomo-tracker-js that is not tied to React that you can use directly. This package is used by matomo-tracker-react internally so it should be able to do everything you need.

Since both class based components and function components are equally supported by react and larger projects tend to strongly favour class based components this should be considered to be reopened.

We recommend you use a functional container component and pass in the methods you need to accomplish this.
