Getting started

Installation

npm i electron-google-analytics

• Init

  Analytics(trackingID, { userAgent, debug, version })

  import Analytics from 'electron-google-analytics';
  const analytics = new Analytics('UA-XXXXXXXX-X');

• Set (custom params)

  Analytics#set(key, value)

  analytics.set('uid', 123);

  You also can remove setted parameter like this:

  analytics.set('uid', null);

• Pageview

  Analytics#pageview(hostname, url, title, sessionDuration, clientID)

  return analytics.pageview('http://example.com', '/home', 'Example')
    .then((response) => {
      return response;
    }).catch((err) => {
      return err;
    });

  If you want to keep the session you need to specify the clientID. The clientID can be found in the promise response above.

• Event

  Analytics#event(evCategory, evAction, { evLabel, evValue, clientID })

  return analytics.event('Video', 'play', { evLabel: 'holiday', evValue: 300})

      return response;
    }).catch((err) => {
      return err;
    });

• Screenview

  Analytics#screen(appName, appVer, appID, appInstallerID, screenName, clientID)

  return analytics.screen('test', '1.0.0', 'com.app.test', 'com.app.installer', 'Test')
    .then((response) => {
      return response;
    }).catch((err) => {
      return err;
    });

• Transaction

  Analytics#transaction(trnID, { trnAffil, trnRev, trnShip, trnTax, currCode } = {}, clientID)

  return analytics.transaction(123).then((response) => {
      return response;
    }).catch((err) => {
      return err;
    });

  Analytics#purchase(hostname, url, title, transactionID, { trnAffil, trnRev, trnTax, trnShip, trnCoupon, prdID, prdName, prdCtg, prdBrand, prdVar, prdPos } = {}, clientID)

  return analytics.purchase('http://example.com', '/test', 'Test', 'T123', { prdID: 'P123' }).then((response) => {
      return response;
    }).catch((err) => {
      return err;
    });

    .then((response) => {
      return response;
    }).catch((err) => {
      return err;
    });

es5 usage

If you are not using tools like babel to use es6 with your application, you'll have to modify your code slightly. Below is an example of a test screen view that you can use out of the box with node.js

const Analytics  = require('electron-google-analytics');
const analytics = new Analytics.default('UA-XXXXXXXX-X');

function test(){
    return analytics.screen('test', '1.0.0', 'com.app.test', 'com.app.installer', 'Test')
  .then((response) => {
    return response;
  }).catch((err) => {
    return err;
  });
}
test();

Tests

cross-env TRACKING_ID='UA-XXXXXXXX-X' npm test
