@firebase/analytics-compat

What is @firebase/analytics-compat?

The @firebase/analytics-compat package is designed to provide a compatibility layer for Firebase Analytics within the Firebase JavaScript SDK. It allows developers to use Firebase Analytics with an API that is compatible with the older versions of Firebase, making it easier to integrate into projects that were built with the legacy Firebase SDK.

What are @firebase/analytics-compat's main functionalities?

Event Tracking

This feature allows developers to track custom events within their application. The code sample demonstrates how to log a 'purchase' event with additional parameters such as item, quantity, and price.

firebase.analytics().logEvent('purchase', {item: 'book', quantity: 1, price: 19.99});

User Properties

This feature enables the setting of user properties which can be used to segment users within analytics reports. The code sample shows how to set a user property 'favorite_food' to 'pizza'.

firebase.analytics().setUserProperties({favorite_food: 'pizza'});

Screen Tracking

This feature is used to track user navigation within the app. The code sample illustrates how to set the current screen to 'Homepage' which helps in analyzing user flow and engagement on specific screens.

firebase.analytics().setCurrentScreen('Homepage');
