Google Analytics 4 support

[8ctopus]

Hello!

I'm looking at different options to support server side analytics for Google Analytics 4 and landed on your package. In the readme you say that you support Google Analytics 4 but looking at the project's dependencies you are relying on https://github.com/theiconic/php-ga-measurement-protocol which doesn't support GA4, so I'm a bit confused. Could you please share some light?

As Universal Analytics is reaching it's EOL it would be essential to support GA4. Any update on this?

@pascalbaljet Any update on this? My custom events are not received by GA4 while they did on Universal Analytics.

I'm collaborating on this project which uses measurement protocol for ga4 https://github.com/aawnu/php-ga4/ but there's no laravel implementation.

Hey guys! Any updates on this? Thanks!

Looks like a fork of a fork supports GA4: https://github.com/accexs/laravel-ga4-event-tracking

...and now I have forked that fork of a fork: https://github.com/devproca/laravel-ga4-event-tracking.

@superdejooo @8ctopus @jeffreyvanhees @jussipvainionpaa feel free to try out my fork and let me know if it works for you.

@LukeTowers I went for a completely new implementation replicating the gtag.js behavior in php. Why? Because measurement protocol is way too limited in what it can achieve. https://github.com/8ctopus/php-gtag

@8ctopus cool! Is there any documentation for the gtag.js API?

[8ctopus]

@LukeTowers No, there is no official documentation from Google that I know of.
