Events
The analytics registers three types of events:
- Page events which are triggered for each page view.
- Web component events.
- Custom event from the javascript API.
Page Events
The page events are triggered on each page load or routing in the case of single page applications.
The event contains the following information:
- Url
- User Agent
- Referer
- Geolocation via IP-lookup
- Locale
Custom Events
The web components generates article specific events for a set of user interactions:
- ViewArticle. Triggered when an article is within the view port of the the browser.
- Scroll. Triggered when 25, 50, 75, 90 and 100% of an article is visiable withing the view port of the browser.
- AddToCart. Triggered when a product is added to the cart.
- Idle. Triggered when a user has been idle on a page for more than 20 seconds.
Javascript API
The analytics library exposes an API on window.sesamy.analytics
from tracking of customer events in the client.
The API exposes a track
function that takes an event name and a json object as payload:
// Basic event tracking
sesamy.analytics.track('buttonClicked')
// Event tracking with payload
sesamy.analytics.track('itemPurchased', {
price: 11,
sku: '1234'
})
The analytics library will decorate each call with a user id and information about the current page.
Toogle analytics
Anlytics are enabled by default. You can disable analytics either from a meta tag or toggle analytics from the JavaScript API.
<!-- Including the following tag in the <head> of your HTML will disable analytics -->
<meta property="sesamy:analytics" content="false" />
// You can also use the JavaScript API to enable and disable the analytics
window.sesamy.analytics.enable()
window.sesamy.analytics.disable()
