Advanced tools
This library exports the amplitude plugin for the analytics package.
This analytics plugin will load Amplitude integration into your application.
For more information see the docs.
npm install analytics
npm install @analytics/amplitude
The @analytics/amplitude package works in the browser. To use, install the package, include in your project and initialize the plugin with analytics.
Below is an example of how to use the browser plugin.
import Analytics from 'analytics'
import amplitudePlugin from '@analytics/amplitude'
const analytics = Analytics({
app: 'awesome-app',
plugins: [
amplitudePlugin({
apiKey: 'token',
// See options at https://bit.ly/3dRdZnE
options: {
trackingOptions: {
ip_address: false
}
}
})
]
})
/* Track a page view */
analytics.page()
/* Track a custom event */
analytics.track('cartCheckout', {
item: 'pink socks',
price: 20
})
/* Identify a visitor */
analytics.identify('user-id-xyz', {
firstName: 'bill',
lastName: 'murray'
})
After initializing analytics with the amplitudePlugin plugin, data will be sent into Amplitude whenever analytics.page, analytics.track, or analytics.identify are called.
See additional implementation examples for more details on using in your project.
