Google Analytics AMD Module

google-analytics-amd.js

define(function (require) {

  var module;

  // Setup temporary Google Analytics objects.
  window.GoogleAnalyticsObject = "ga";
  window.ga = function () { (window.ga.q = window.ga.q || []).push(arguments); };
  window.ga.l = 1 * new Date();

  // Immediately add a pageview event to the queue.
  window.ga("create", "{{TrackingID}}", "{{Domain}}");
  window.ga("send", "pageview");

  // Create a function that wraps `window.ga`.
  // This allows dependant modules to use `window.ga` without knowingly
  // programming against a global object.
  module = function () { window.ga.apply(this, arguments); };

  // Asynchronously load Google Analytics, letting it take over our `window.ga`
  // object after it loads. This allows us to add events to `window.ga` even
  // before the library has fully loaded.
  require(["//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"]);

  return module;

});

Anyone have any issues where this is working locally with hostfile change but not in production?
GA docs say "be sure the tracking code in included just before the closing /HEAD tag. RequireJS is usually just before the closing /BODY tag, not not sure if thats an issue?

Its the weirdest thing that I have this working locally and pushed it live and now GA Admin is not reporting any traffic under Realtime at all.

I have the url in GA admin set to www.jamdeo.com and the domain in the tracking code set to the same.

You should use require(["//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"] instead of require(["http://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"].

Thanks @saxicek for that change. I've updated the gist.

For anyone wondering, I'm using this in production with RequireJS and the R.js optimizer, and it works great.

I would recommend the Google's option for changing the global name of the analytics object.
Just add another variable gaName and replace all window.ga instances with window[gaName]

define(function (require) {

  var module,
      gaName = "ga"; // Global name of analytics object. Defaults to `ga`.

  // Setup temporary Google Analytics objects.
  window.GoogleAnalyticsObject = gaName;
  window[gaName] = function () { (window[gaName].q = window[gaName].q || []).push(arguments); };
  window[gaName].l = 1 * new Date();

  // Immediately add a pageview event to the queue.
  window[gaName]("create", "{{TrackingID}}", "{{Domain}}");
  window[gaName]("send", "pageview");

  // Create a function that wraps `window[gaName]`.
  // This allows dependant modules to use `window[gaName]` without knowingly
  // programming against a global object.
  module = function () { window[gaName].apply(this, arguments); };

  // Asynchronously load Google Analytics, letting it take over our `window[gaName]`
  // object after it loads. This allows us to add events to `window[gaName]` even
  // before the library has fully loaded.
  require(["//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"]);

  return module;

});

If I add this to my RJS project, how exactly do I use it?

@paulcanning. You can just just add the module to your require / define method. It will take care of rest of things.
