Custom Data Layer Properties

You can also define your own variables to push to GTM's data layer by passing in a configuration object when instantiating the plugin. To do so, define a config object with a template property whose value is an object consisting of key-value pairs, where the key is the name of the property you want to add to the GTM data layer and the value is a string of the desired variable value surrounded by double curly braces ({{ }}).
