Facebook Pixel / Integration not included in analytics.js file

the analytics.js file, loaded from CDN (unminified for easier searching ) https://cdnjs.com/libraries/analytics.js/2.9.1 only defines a Facebook Conversion Tracking integration.

How do I go about loading other open source integrations? https://github.com/segmentio/analytics.js-integrations/tree/master/integrations/facebook-pixel

Why include terser?

Hey there, thanks for the lib and the original blog post. Seams like a pretty solid option!

However, I'm curious why you chose to include terser to minify the snippet code. It adds considerable weight to the overall payload of this library, and looks like it could easily do without.

Data Passthrough

First, thank you so much for this! I've now centralized/consolidated my GA/FB tracking, my life feels more organized already!

I'm looking for a way to pass through the raw analytics.js data to an endpoint and was originally hoping I could build my own custom integration and the config would look a little something like

'Custom Integration', {
  url: 'XXXXXX',
  token: 'XXXXXXX'
}

However, I'm not sure it's possible to build a custom integration that isn't registered with segment.

I'm curious if you have any suggestions/ideas on how to accomplish this.
Thanks!

Server side?

Any thoughts on how to approach making this compatible with server side (Node) or is that just not compatible with this at all?

Thanks!
