Looking at google's site https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs,

you could also add Google Analytics using this function:

const enableGA = () => {
  !function(A,n,g,u,l,a,r){A.GoogleAnalyticsObject=l,A[l]=A[l]||function(){
  (A[l].q=A[l].q||[]).push(arguments)},A[l].l=+new Date,a=n.createElement(g),
  r=n.getElementsByTagName(g)[0],a.src=u,r.parentNode.insertBefore(a,r)
  }(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X');
  ga('send', 'pageview');
}

This way you don't need an external library, and it's pretty quick to setup.
