Or am I seeing it wrong and this should work?:
Can you confirm as well would still update and change the library of minimal GA 4.
<a class="button" href="#" onclick="gtag('event', <action>, {
'event_category': <category>,
'event_label': <label>
});">
<span class="button_label">Start now
</span>
</a>
Event tracking doesn’t work at the moment, but I’m working on adding the new library as we speak. I’m dropping a new release this Friday in which it’ll be included!

@daanvandenbergh Ok Friday means just before end of UA, but good.
Do you mean global event tracking or both? As you see what I’m looking for is the minimalism to add onclick event. Am I understanding it correct I can with the new minimal analytics GA 4 library when you updated and use the following:
<a class="button" href="#" onclick="gtag('event', <action>, {
'event_category': <category>,
'event_label': <label>
});">
<span class="button_label">Start now
</span>
</a>
Or only global dynamic tracking that runs onload at all times? Not optimal as I want minimalism and only trigger on click.
track({ type: 'user_signup', event: { 'epn.user_id': 12345, 'ep.user_name': 'John', });
Yes, UA will be removed in that version, but I’m releasing it so people can make the switch in time, before Google Analytics pulls the plug on UA.
I’m adding the jahilldev library. You’d have to check his documentation to see how that should work. I think only your last example will work.

@daanvandenbergh unfortunately no documentation regarding onclick events but raised an issue to see if he can shine some clarity regarding that.
But the gtag onclick event works on the normal GA4 script right? That they have not changed?
If by ‘normal GA4 script’ you mean the script provided by Google, then yes, I’m pretty sure that should still work.

@daanvandenbergh thanks!
If you can have the GA4 minimal version updated I will test below. Got an answer. So can you make sure yo have settings to enable that as well?
Provided you’ve set defineGlobal: true in the config options for @minimal-analytics/ga4, you should be able to do something like the following:
<a href="https://website.com" onclick="track({ /*[...]*/ })">Click</a>
yes, I’ve added the defineGlobal parameter!

Cannot see the tracking code being added Tracking Code Position footer.
This site is using oxygen builder. Shouldn’t need to use the option to add manually?
