Package Exports

macobo-test-tracker
macobo-test-tracker/plausible.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (macobo-test-tracker) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Plausible Analytics tracker

Notice: This library is currently under development and will be released as an official library later this year.

Add Plausible Analytics to your website.

Features

Small package size
Same features and codebase as the official script, but as an NPM module
Automatically track page views in your SPA apps
Track goals and custom events
Provide manual values that will be bound to the event
Full typescript support

Important: This library only works in browser environments. When using server-side rendering (SSR), the init and track functions will not work as they rely on browser APIs. Make sure to only initialize and track events on the client side.

Package Installation

With npm:

npm install macobo-test-tracker

Usage

To begin tracking events, you must initialize the tracker:

import { init } from 'macobo-test-tracker'

init({
  domain: 'my-app.com'
})

Configuration options

See also plausible.d.ts for typescript types.

Option	Description	Default
`domain`	Required Your site's domain, as declared by you in Plausible's settings.
`endpoint`	The URL of the Plausible API endpoint. See proxying guide at https://plausible.io/docs/proxy/introduction	`"https://plausible.io/api/event"`
`autoCapturePageviews`	Whether to automatically capture pageviews.	`true`
`hashBasedRouting`	Whether the page uses hash based routing. Read more at https://plausible.io/docs/hash-based-routing	`false`
`outboundLinks`	Whether to track outbound link clicks.	`false`
`fileDownloads`	Whether to track file downloads.	`false`
`formSubmissions`	Whether to track form submissions.	`false`
`captureOnLocalhost`	Whether to capture events on localhost.	`false`
`logging`	Whether to log on ignored events.	`true`
`customProperties`	Object or function that returns custom properties for a given event.	`{}`
`transformRequest`	Function that allows transforming or ignoring requests
`bindToWindow`	Binds `track` to `window.plausible` which is used by Plausible installation verification tool to detect whether Plausible has been installed correctly. If `bindToWindow` is set to false, the installation verification tool won't be able to automatically detect it on your site.	`true`

Using `customProperties`

To track a custom property with every page view, you can use the customProperties configuration option:

init({
  domain: 'my-app.com',
  customProperties: { "content_category": "news" }
})

customProperties can also be a dynamic function:

init({
  domain: 'my-app.com',
  customProperties: (eventName) => ({ "title": document.title })
})

Tracking custom events

To track a custom event, call track and give it the name of the event. Custom properties can be passed as a second argument:

import { track } from 'macobo-test-tracker'

track('signup', { props: { tier: "startup" } })

To mark an event as non-interactive so it would not be counted towards bounce rate calculations, set interactive option:

track('autoplay', { interactive: false })

Revenue tracking

To track an event with revenue information, do:

import { track } from 'macobo-test-tracker'

track('Purchase', { revenue: { amount: 15.99, currency: 'USD' } })

More information can be found in ecommerce revenue tracking docs

Callbacks

When calling track, you can pass in a custom callback.

import { track } from 'macobo-test-tracker'

track('some-event', {
  callback: (result) => {
    if (result?.status) {
      console.debug("Request to plausible done. Status:", result.status)
    } else if (result?.error) {
      console.log("Error handling request:", result.error)
    } else {
      console.log("Request was ignored")
    }
  }
})

Opt out and exclude yourself from the analytics

Since plausible-tracker is bundled with your application code, using an ad-blocker to exclude your visits isn't an option. Fortunately Plausible has an alternative for this scenario: plausible-tracker will not send events if localStorage.plausible_ignore is set to "true".

More information about this method can be found in the Plausible documentation.
