If you need to add more than one ad you can give each object in the state.fills.googleAdManager object it's own key:
1
export default {
2
  packages: [
3
    {
4
      name: "@frontity/google-ad-manager",
5
      state: {
6
        fills: {
7
          googleAdManager: {
8
            belowHeaderAd: {
9
              slot: "Below Header",
10
              library: "googleAdManager.GooglePublisherTag",
11
              priority: 5,
12
              props: {
13
                id: "div-gpt-below-header",
14
                unit: "/6499/example/banner",
15
                size: [320, 100],
16
              },
17
            },

            belowContentAd: {
19
              slot: "Below Content",
20
              library: "googleAdManager.GooglePublisherTag",
21
              priority: 5,
22
              props: {

                targeting: {

Usage
Using the Slot & Fill pattern
The recommended usage of this component is using the Slot and Fill pattern. The configuration of the fill(s) is done in the state.fills.googleAdManager namespace in frontity.settings.js as explained above.
With this configuration we can then insert the Slots representing the Ads in any React component.
1
import { Slot, ... } from "frontity";
2
​
3
const MyComponent = () => {
4
​
5
  return (
6
    <>
7
      ...
8
      <Slot name="Below Header" />
9
      ...
10
      <Slot name="Below Content" />
11
      ...
12
    </>
13
  );
14
};
15
​
16
...
17
​
18
export default MyComponent;

Using the Ad component directly
Alternatively, since the Ad component is exposed in libraries, you can get the GooglePublisherTag component from libraries and render it wherever you wish.
1
const MyComponent = ({ libraries }) => {
2
  const MyAd = libraries.fills.googleAdManager.GooglePublisherTag;
3
​
4
    return (
5
      <MyAd
6
      unit="/unit/234"
7
      size={[300, 600]}
8
        />
9
    );
10
};
11
​
12
export connect(MyComponent);
