Example
// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-fathom',
options: {
// Your custom domain, defaults to `cdn.usefathom.com`
trackingUrl: 'your-fathom-instance.com',
// Unique site id
siteId: 'FATHOM_SITE_ID'
}
}
]
}Example using environment variables
You may want to use different site ids across different deployments. This is best achieved by defining config in environment variables. The value will be read on build-time, e.g. during CI.
# .env.production
FATHOM_SITE_ID=ABCDEF// gatsby-config.js
require('dotenv').config({
path: `.env.${process.env.NODE_ENV}`
})
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-fathom',
options: {
siteId: process.env.FATHOM_SITE_ID
}
}
]

Goal Tracking
You can import a hook for tracking goals in any component like so:
import { useGoal } from 'gatsby-plugin-fathom'
export default function Foo() {
// can pass true as the 2nd param in order to console log the tracked goal's ID
// useful for debugging in development
const handleGoal = useGoal('GOAL-ID')
return <button onClick={handleGoal}>Click me</button>
}The function returned by useGoal also excepts a value to be sent with the id. If not set it defaults to 0.
import { useGoal } from 'gatsby-plugin-fathom'
export default function Foo() {
const handleGoal = useGoal('GOAL-ID')
return <button onClick={() => handleGoal(100)}>Buy</button>
}
