## Vercel Web Analytics Integration
### Overview
Successfully implemented Vercel Web Analytics for the Aura Hands project following the official Vercel Web Analytics guide.
### Changes Made
#### Modified Files:
1. **package.json**
- Added `@vercel/analytics: ^1.4.0` to dependencies
- Version 1.4.0+ includes the Astro component support mentioned in the guide
2. **App.tsx**
- Added import: `import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/react';`
- Added `<Analytics />` component at the top of the main return JSX
- The component is placed directly inside the root div to ensure it's mounted early
### Implementation Details
#### Why These Changes:
- This is a Vite + React project, which matches the "create-react-app" equivalent framework mentioned in the Vercel Web Analytics guide
- The Analytics component from `@vercel/analytics/react` provides seamless integration with React applications
- According to the guide: "The `Analytics` component is a wrapper around the tracking script, offering more seamless integration with React"
- Note: There is no route support with the plain React implementation, but that's expected for non-Next.js projects
#### Setup Steps Completed:
1. ✅ Added `@vercel/analytics` package to project.json
2. ✅ Imported Analytics component from `@vercel/analytics/react`
3. ✅ Placed Analytics component in the main App component (root-level rendering)
4. ✅ Installed dependencies with npm install
5. ✅ Verified build completes successfully
#### Next Steps (Manual):
Users will need to:
1. Enable Web Analytics in their Vercel dashboard (Analytics tab → Enable)
2. Deploy the app to Vercel using `vercel deploy` or by pushing to their Git repository
3. Once deployed, the tracking script will be automatically injected at `/_vercel/insights/*`
4. Analytics data will be visible in the Vercel dashboard after a few days of visitor traffic
### Testing
- ✅ Build verification: Project builds successfully with no errors
- ✅ No existing functionality broken
- ✅ Dependencies properly installed and lock file updated
- ✅ Code follows the official Vercel Web Analytics implementation guide
### Technical Notes
- The Analytics component runs automatically when loaded and starts tracking page views and visitor metrics
- The component is non-intrusive and doesn't affect the application's visual rendering
- When deployed to Vercel, the tracking will work seamlessly without additional configuration
