Description

Currently it appears users have to put together goal tracking JS themselves, choosing the correct goal ID etc. and wrapping the code in JS tags. Please auto generate this code to reduce the likelihood of user error when creating tracking goal code. Non-technical users don't want to handling JS syntax -- copy and paste is better.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Matomo's goal tracking code generation. Locate how goals are stored and how the JavaScript tracking code is rendered. Identify the files involved (e.g., in plugins/GoalTracker/) and propose a method to auto generate the goal tracking snippet based on the goal's ID and configuration. Consider using existing tracking code generation functions.
