# Vercel Web Analytics Installation Report
## Summary
Successfully installed and configured Vercel Web Analytics for the Next.js App Router project.
## Changes Made
### 1. Installed @vercel/analytics Package
- Added `@vercel/analytics@1.6.1` to dependencies using Bun package manager
- Command used: `bun add @vercel/analytics`
### 2. Modified Files
#### `apps/web/app/layout.tsx`
- **Import Added**: Added `import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/next';` at the top of the file
- **Component Added**: Placed `<Analytics />` component inside the `<body>` tag, after the ThemeProvider closing tag
- This follows Next.js App Router best practices for adding analytics to the root layout
#### `apps/web/package.json`
- Added `@vercel/analytics` as a new dependency
#### `bun.lock`
- Updated lock file to reflect the new dependency
## Implementation Details
The Analytics component was added to the root layout file (`apps/web/app/layout.tsx`) which is the standard approach for App Router projects. This ensures that analytics tracking is available across all pages of the application.
The component placement inside the `<body>` tag ensures it loads after the main content but is still part of the initial page render, allowing it to capture page views and web vitals data effectively.
## Verification Steps Completed
1. ✅ **Type Check**: Ran `bun run typecheck` - Passed with no errors
2. ✅ **Linting**: Ran `bun run lint app/layout.tsx` - No errors in the modified file
3. ✅ **Dependencies**: Verified that bun.lock was properly updated
4. ✅ **Code Review**: Confirmed the Analytics component is correctly placed and imported
## Notes
- The project uses Bun as its package manager (specified in root package.json)
- This is an App Router project with the app directory structure
- The Analytics component will automatically start tracking page views and web vitals when deployed to Vercel
- No additional configuration is required - the component works out of the box
