+# Analytics Refactoring Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This refactoring makes the `Analytics` class injectable throughout the Sharezone app, enabling proper testing and better dependency management.
+
+## Problem
+
+Previously, the app used `Analytics(getBackend())` in many places, which directly called `FirebaseAnalytics.instance`. This created several issues:
+
+1. **Untestable**: The root `Sharezone` widget couldn't be tested in widget tests because it used a static `Analytics` instance
+2. **Non-mockable**: Tests couldn't provide a mocked Analytics implementation
+3. **Tight coupling**: Code was tightly coupled to Firebase implementation
+
+## Solution
+
+### Key Changes
+
+#### 1. Sharezone Widget
+- **Before**: Used static `Analytics analytics = Analytics(getBackend())`
+- **After**: Accepts optional `Analytics? analytics` parameter
+- Falls back to `blocDependencies.analytics` if not provided
+
+#### 2. Authentication Gateways
+Updated to accept optional Analytics parameter:
+- `RegistrationGateway(collection, auth, {Analytics? analytics})`
+- `LinkProviderGateway(userGateway, {Analytics? analytics})`
+
+Both default to `Analytics(getBackend())` if not provided, maintaining backward compatibility.
+
+#### 3. BLoC Factories
+Updated factories to accept and pass Analytics:
+- `AccountPageBlocFactory` now accepts and uses Analytics
+- `EmailAndPasswordLinkBloc` accepts optional Analytics parameter
+
+#### 4. Page-level Usage
+Pages that need Analytics now get it from context:
+- **AuthApp**: Provides Analytics via Provider for login/signup flows
+- **SharezoneContext**: Available via BlocProvider for authenticated flows
+- **LoginPage**: Uses lazy initialization with context.read<Analytics>()
+
+#### 5. Centralized Creation
+In `run_app.dart`:
+- Create Analytics once: `final analytics = Analytics(getBackend())`
+- Pass to both `RegistrationGateway` and `BlocDependencies`
+- Reuse the same instance throughout the app
+
+### Migration Path
+
+All changes are backward compatible:
+- Analytics parameters are optional with sensible defaults
+- Existing code continues to work without modifications
+- Tests can now provide mocked implementations
+
+### Testing
+
+Added `app/test/main/analytics_mocking_test.dart` demonstrating:
+- Analytics can be instantiated with `NullAnalyticsBackend`
+- All analytics methods work without errors when mocked
+- This enables proper unit and widget testing
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### Core Files
+- `app/lib/main/sharezone.dart` - Made Analytics injectable
+- `app/lib/main/run_app.dart` - Centralized Analytics creation
+- `app/lib/main/auth_app.dart` - Provide Analytics via Provider
+- `app/lib/main/sharezone_bloc_providers.dart` - Use injected Analytics
+
+### Authentication
+- `lib/authentification/authentification_base/lib/src/gateways/registration_gateway.dart`
+- `lib/authentification/authentification_base/lib/src/gateways/link_provider_gateway.dart`
+
+### Account/Auth Pages
+- `app/lib/account/account_page_bloc.dart`
+- `app/lib/account/account_page_bloc_factory.dart`
+- `app/lib/account/register_account_section.dart`
+- `app/lib/auth/login_page.dart`
+- `app/lib/auth/sign_in_with_qr_code_page.dart`
+- `app/lib/auth/email_and_password_link_bloc.dart`
+
+### Dashboard
+- `app/lib/dashboard/widgets/dashboard_fab.dart`
+
+### Tests
+- `app/test/main/analytics_mocking_test.dart` (new)
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Testability**: Widgets and classes can now be tested with mocked Analytics
+2. **Flexibility**: Easy to switch analytics implementations
+3. **Better Architecture**: Dependencies are explicit rather than hidden
+4. **No Breaking Changes**: All existing code continues to work
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Testing
+```dart
+final mockAnalytics = Analytics(NullAnalyticsBackend());
+
+// Pass to widgets or classes that need it
+final sharezone = Sharezone(
+  blocDependencies: deps,
+  analytics: mockAnalytics,
+  // ... other params
+);
+```
+
+### Production
+```dart
+// Still works as before - defaults are used
+final sharezone = Sharezone(
+  blocDependencies: deps,
+  // Analytics will be taken from blocDependencies
+);
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Future improvements could include:
+1. Making Analytics required parameter (breaking change)
+2. Creating a dedicated Analytics service layer
+3. Adding more comprehensive analytics testing
