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()
})
]
})
/* 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',

})
After initializing analytics with the awsPinpointPlugin plugin, data will be sent into AWSPinpoint whenever analytics.page, analytics.track, or analytics.identify are called.

Pinpoint requires a valid identity to make calls to the service.
To do this you will need to use the AWS SDK, AWS Amplify, tiny-cognito etc to vend AWS creds for that visitors to be allowed to call pinpoint
The getCredentials must be provided and return an object that returns accessKeyId, secretAccessKey, sessionToken that have access to your AWS pinpoint instance.
{
accessKeyId: 'xyz',
secretAccessKey: 'xyz',
sessionToken: 'xyz'
}
Here is an example using tiny-cognito
import Analytics from 'analytics'
import cognitoAuth from 'tiny-cognito'
import awsPinpointPlugin from '@analytics/aws-pinpoint'
// Identity pool ID that allows for unauthenticated access.
const poolId = 'us-east-1:11111111-22222-222222-44444'
const region = 'us-east-1'
function getCredentials() {
return cognitoAuth({
COGNITO_REGION: region,
IDENTITY_POOL_ID: poolId
})
}
const analytics = Analytics({
app: 'awesome-app',
plugins: [
awsPinpointPlugin({
pinpointAppId: '123456789',
getCredentials: getCredentials
})
]
})
Here is an example using @aws-amplify/auth
import Analytics from 'analytics'
import AmplifyAuth from '@aws-amplify/auth'
import awsPinpointPlugin from '@analytics/aws-pinpoint'
const analytics = Analytics({
app: 'awesome-app',
plugins: [
awsPinpointPlugin({
pinpointAppId: '123456789',
// Get credentials from amplify
getCredentials: async () => {
const creds = await AmplifyAuth.currentCredentials()
return creds
},
})
]
})
