To send React Router Page Views to Firebase Analytics, you can use the useEffect hook in your main app component to track page views whenever the location changes. Here's an example:

  1. Import the necessary dependencies:
import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/analytics';
  1. Initialize Firebase Analytics in your app (outside of the main app component):
firebase.initializeApp({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  authDomain: "YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN",
  projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
  appId: "YOUR_APP_ID",
  measurementId: "YOUR_MEASUREMENT_ID"
});

const analytics = firebase.analytics();
  1. Create a custom hook to track page views:
const usePageView = () => {
  const location = useLocation();

  useEffect(() => {
    analytics.setCurrentScreen(location.pathname);
    analytics.logEvent('page_view');
  }, [location]);
}
  1. Use the usePageView hook in your main app component:
function App() {
  usePageView();

  ...

  return (
    ...
  );
}

This will track every React Router page view as a separate event in Firebase Analytics with the "page_view" event name. You can then view these page views under the "Events" section of your Firebase Analytics dashboard.
