Installation

and @analytics/aws-pinpoint

How to use
The @analytics/aws-pinpoint
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 awsPinpointPlugin from '@analytics/aws-pinpoint'
const analytics = Analytics({
app: 'awesome-app',
plugins: [
awsPinpointPlugin({
pinpointAppId: '938bebb1ae954e123133213160f2b3be4',
getCredentials: () => Auth.currentCredentials()
})
]
})
analytics.page()
analytics.track('cartCheckout', {
item: 'pink socks',
price: 20
})
analytics.identify('user-id-xyz', {
firstName: 'bill',
lastName: 'murray'
})
After initializing analytics
with the awsPinpointPlugin
plugin, data will be sent into AWSPinpoint whenever analytics.page, analytics.track, or analytics.identify are called.
