Vendor-agnostic analytics for AngularJS applications.
http://luisfarzati.github.io/angulartics
angular.module('myApp', ['angulartics', 'angulartics.ga'])
You also need to embed the JS code provided by Google Analytics:
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', '{YOUR GA CODE}', '{YOUR DOMAIN}');
ga('send', 'pageview'); // <-- DELETE THIS LINE!
</script>
Done. All navigation done across your application pages (ng-views) will be automatically tracked as pageviews.
angular.module('myApp', ['angulartics', 'angulartics.km'])
You also need to embed the JS code provided by Kissmetrics:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _kmq = _kmq || [];
var _kmk = _kmk || '{YOUR KM CODE}';
function _kms(u){
setTimeout(function(){
var d = document, f = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],
s = d.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = u;
f.parentNode.insertBefore(s, f);
}, 1);
}
_kms('//i.kissmetrics.com/i.js');
_kms('//doug1izaerwt3.cloudfront.net/' + _kmk + '.1.js');
</script>
Done. All navigation done across your application pages (ng-views) will be automatically tracked as pageviews (actually, as events named "Pageview"; their API doesn't seem to support pageview tracking programatically).
angular.module('myApp', ['angulartics', 'angulartics.mixpanel'])
You also need to embed the JS code provided by Mixpanel:
<!-- start Mixpanel --><script type="text/javascript">(function(e,b){if(!b.__SV){var a,f,i,g;window.mixpanel=b;a=e.createElement("script");a.type="text/javascript";a.async=!0;a.src=("https:"===e.location.protocol?"https:":"http:")+'//cdn.mxpnl.com/libs/mixpanel-2.2.min.js';f=e.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];f.parentNode.insertBefore(a,f);b._i=[];b.init=function(a,e,d){function f(b,h){var a=h.split(".");2==a.length&&(b=b[a[0]],h=a[1]);b[h]=function(){b.push([h].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments,0)))}}var c=b;"undefined"!==
typeof d?c=b[d]=[]:d="mixpanel";c.people=c.people||[];c.toString=function(b){var a="mixpanel";"mixpanel"!==d&&(a+="."+d);b||(a+=" (stub)");return a};c.people.toString=function(){return c.toString(1)+".people (stub)"};i="disable track track_pageview track_links track_forms register register_once alias unregister identify name_tag set_config people.set people.set_once people.increment people.append people.track_charge people.clear_charges people.delete_user".split(" ");for(g=0;g<i.length;g++)f(c,i[g]);
b._i.push([a,e,d])};b.__SV=1.2}})(document,window.mixpanel||[]);
mixpanel.init("{YOUR MP CODE}", {set_pageview: false});</script><!-- end Mixpanel -->
Done. All navigation done across your application pages (ng-views) will be automatically tracked as pageviews. Note that {set_pageview: false}
is necessary in order to avoid duplicate pageview event at initial loading.
Not yet. I'll be adding support for more providers in short-term, and your contribution is most welcomed :) If there's no Angulartics plugin for your analytics vendor of choice, please feel free to write yours and PR' it!
It's very easy to write your own plugin. First, create your module and inject $analyticsProvider
:
angular.module('angulartics.myplugin', ['angulartics'])
.config(['$analyticsProvider', function($analyticsProvider) {
The module name can be anything of course, but it would be convenient to follow the style angulartics.{vendorname}
.
Next, you register either the page track function, event track function, or both. You do it by calling the registerPageTrack
and registerEventTrack
methods. Let's take a look at page tracking first:
$analyticsProvider.registerPageTrack(function(path) {
// your implementation here
}
By calling registerPageTrack
, you tell Angulartics to invoke your function on $routeChangeSuccess
. Angulartics will send the new path as an argument.
$analyticsProvider.registerEventTrack(function(action, properties) {
// your implementation here
}
This is very similar to page tracking. Angulartics will invoke your function every time the event (analytics-on
attribute) is fired, passing the action (analytics-event
attribute) and an object composed of any analytics-*
attributes you put in the element.
Check out the bundled Google Analytics and Kissmetrics plugins as a reference. If you still have any questions, feel free to email me or post an issue at GitHub!
If you want to keep pageview tracking for its traditional meaning (whole page visits only), set virtualPageviews to false:
angular.module('myApp', ['angulartics', 'angulartics.ga'])
.config(function($analyticsProvider) {
$analyticsProvider.virtualPageviews(false);
Use the $analytics
service to emit pageview and event tracking:
module.controller('SampleCtrl', function($analytics) {
// emit pageview beacon with path /my/url
$analytics.pageTrack('/my/url');
// emit event track (without properties)
$analytics.eventTrack('eventName');
// emit event track (with category and label properties for GA)
$analytics.eventTrack('eventName', {
category: 'category', label: 'label'
});
Use analytics-on
and analytics-event
attributes for enabling event tracking on a specific HTML element:
<a href="file.pdf"
analytics-on="click"
analytics-event="Download">Download</a>
analytics-on
lets you specify the DOM event that triggers the event tracking; analytics-event
is the event name to be sent.
Additional properties (for example, category as required by GA) may be specified by adding analytics-*
attributes:
<a href="file.pdf"
analytics-on="click"
analytics-event="Download"
analytics-category="Content Actions">Download</a>
