The New Relic video tracking core library is the base for all video trackers in the browser platform. It contains the classes and core mechanisms used by the player specific trackers.

Install dependencies:

$ npm install

And build:

$ npm run build:dev

Or if you need a production build:

$ npm run build

Add scripts inside dist folder to your page.

If you want to know how to generate dist folder, refer to npm commands section.

nrvideo provides a class called VideoTracker that will serve as an interface with Browser Agent, allowing you to manage and send events to New Relic.

First of all, you have to add a tracker in the core class:

// var nrvideo = require('newrelic-video-core')
var tracker = new nrvideo.VideoTracker()
nrvideo.Core.addTracker(tracker)

From this point, any event emitted by said tracker will be reported to New Relic:

tracker.send('EVENT', { data: 1 })

Of course, you may want to use built-in events for video. Luckily for you, this core library provides an easy way of sending video-related content, using tracker.sendXXXXX methods.

tracker.sendRequest() // Will send CONTENT_REQUEST

Search for Tracker#sendXXXX events in the documentation to read more about it.

All classes are documented using autodocs. The documents, generated with jsdoc, can be found in the documentation directory of the current repo.
