Tracking Platform for ACE Knowledge widgets

The Tracking Platform provides an API for tracking and listening to events and user interactions in Humany widgets. Version 2 of this package supports ACE One Widget available in version 5 of the ACE Knowledge widget framework.

Accessing the API

Inside a plugin, pass the current Container instance to the static getInstance() method to access the global instance of TrackingPlatform.

import { TrackingPlatform } from '@humany/widget-tracking';

const MyTrackingPlugin = async (container) => {
    const platform = await TrackingPlatform.getInstance(container);
};

Registering an analyzer

In order to actions events at least one analyzer must be registered on the TrackingPlatform instance. Import GridWidgetAnalyzer and register it with a custom key. Make sure the key is unique to avoid conflicts with existing analyzers.

import { TrackingPlatform, GridWidgetAnalyzer } from '@humany/widget-tracking';

platform.registerAnalyzer(
  'my-analyzer',
  [GridWidgetAnalyzer],
  ({ type, resolve }) => {
    resolve().then((data) => {
      console.log(`action emitted: ${type}`, data);
    });
  },
);

Note: Some actions may result in additional requests being made, which in turn could result in extra costs depending on your subscription level. For this reason it's recommended to check for the type and only resolve the data for relevant actions.
