Google Analytics get tracker by trackingId

I currently have this code, to try and find the right tracker I need (among 8-12 trackers):

ga.getAll().forEach(function(tracker) {
    if(tracker.get('trackingId') === "UA-62921111-4") {

Instead of getting every tracker and iterating through them, is there an easy way to do something like ga.getTracker("UA-62921111-4")?

I found this to be a good one-liner:

var tracker = ga.getAll().filter(tracker => (tracker.get('trackingId') === 'UA-62925944-4'))[0]

But note that if you have multiple trackers, ga might seem ready before the tracker you want has loaded. I was wanting to get data from the tracker for form fields, so I inserted those fields on submit, to make sure everything had loaded.

There is no ga.getTracker on analytics.js. it only has ga.getByName and ga.getAll.

for your reference you can check this. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/accessing-trackers

So to achieve what you need i have written the following code which should be added to your file after the analytics.js has been loaded:

(function(){
    trackers = {}
    ga.getAll().forEach(function(tracker) {
        trackers[tracker.get('trackingId')]=tracker;
    });
    ga.getTracker=function(id){
        if(trackers[id])
        return trackers[id];
    };
})();

this basically fetches all the trackers once and stores them in an object and it defines the missing ga.getTracker.

so now you can call ga.getTracker("UA-62921111-4") function to get your tracker.
