no gtagOption for debug_mode?

[ezbeazy]

I don't see the gtag debug_mode option mapped to any parameter for ReactGA.initialize(). It also doesn't appear to be related to options.testMode, and I don't know what testMode is for since their is no description. Will the below not work? How can we use debug_mode? and what is options.testMode for?

 export const initGA = (ga4Id: string, devMode: boolean) => {
 ReactGA.initialize(ga4Id, {dev_mode: devMode});
 };

if (
 !window.GA_ANALYTICS &&
 googleAnalyticsTrackingCode
 ){
 
 if (apiHost.includes('localhost:'){
 initGA(googleAnalyticsTrackingCode, true);
 } else {
 initGA(googleAnalyticsTrackingCode, false);
 }

 window.GA_ANALYTICS = true;
}

upon further inspection it appears gatagOptions does allow the flexibility to add options not explicitly mapped and I should be able to use the dev_mode option described in the "Monitor events in DebugView" help article. Is that correct?

Did you ever figure it out?

This works for me:

ReactGA4.initialize(GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID, {
 gaOptions: {
 debug_mode: true
 }
});

You can view the tracking data in the Debug View page.

Note: To disable debug mode, remove the debug_mode. Setting this to false won't work.
