I'm having problems migrating from analytics.js to gtag.js. The issue is I can't make virtual pageviews work. How to replicate the following analytics.js code in gtag.js?

ga('set', 'page', path);
ga('send', 'pageview');

This code is in the a tag's onclick event.

This is a single page website which doesn't change the url when you click links.

• javascript
• google-analytics
• analytics.js
• gtag.js

• Well you didn’t show how you are trying to send using gtag. So here is how to switch from ga to gtag. – James Commented Jan 24, 2018 at 21:59

Your example code:

ga('set', 'page', path);
ga('send', 'pageview');

would bee:

gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-1', {'page_path': path});

Where 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-1' would be your google analytics tracking id.
