+#v-ga
+This directive allows us to centralize all track events in one object and share it across the entire application without needs to add extra logic to our component methods
+
+Taking as an example a button that only has to log a name in the console
+
+```html
+<template>
+	<button @click="logName">Log me</button>
+</template>
+
+<script>
+	export default {
+		name: 'myComponent',
+		
+		data () {
+			return {
+				name: 'John'
+			}
+		},
+		
+		methods: {
+			logName () {
+				console.log(this.name)
+			}
+		}
+	}
+</script>
+```
+
+To start tracking the value of `name` we can start by adding a method in the commands object that handles this action
+
+```js
+import Vue from 'vue'
+import VueAnalytics from 'vue-analytics'
+
+Vue.use(VueAnalytics, {
+	id: 'UA-XXX-X',
+	commands: {
+		trackName (name = 'unknown') {
+			this.$ga.track('randomClicks', 'click', 'name', name)
+		}
+	}
+})
+```
+
+then we only need to add the `v-ga` directive to your element and access the method from the `commands` list that now is shared in the `$ga` object
+
+```html
+<template>
+	<button 
+		v-ga="$ga.commands.trackName.bind(this, name)" 
+		@click="logName">
+		Log me
+	</button>
+</template>
+
+<script>
+	export default {
+		name: 'myComponent',
+		
+		data () {
+			return {
+				name: 'John'
+			}
+		},
+		
+		methods: {
+			logName () {
+				console.log(this.name)
+			}
+		}
+	}
+</script>
+```
+
+If there's no need to pass any arguments, we could also just pass the name of the method as a string, and the plugin will look it up for us
+
+```html
+<template>
+	<button v-ga="'trackName'">Click me</button>
+</template>
+
+<script>
+	export default {
+		name: 'myComponent'
+	}
+</script>
+```
