@fullstory/snippet
Advanced tools
@fullstory/snippet is an npm package that allows you to easily integrate FullStory's session replay and analytics capabilities into your web application. It provides a simple way to capture user interactions and behaviors, which can be used for debugging, user experience research, and performance monitoring.
Initialize FullStory
This feature allows you to initialize FullStory with your organization ID. This is the first step to start capturing user sessions.
const FullStory = require('@fullstory/snippet');
FullStory.init({ orgId: 'YOUR_ORG_ID' });Identify Users
This feature allows you to identify users by providing a unique user ID and optional user traits such as display name and email. This helps in associating session data with specific users.
FullStory.identify('USER_ID', {
displayName: 'John Doe',
email: 'john.doe@example.com'
});Log Custom Events
This feature allows you to log custom events with specific properties. This can be useful for tracking specific user interactions that are important for your application.
FullStory.event('ButtonClicked', {
buttonName: 'Submit',
page: 'Signup'
});Mouseflow offers session replay, heatmaps, funnels, and form analytics. It is similar to FullStory but places a stronger emphasis on form analytics and conversion rate optimization.
FullStory's snippet package provides a number of ways to integrate the FullStory snippet with your build tooling of choice. For a more integrated experience, try the browser SDK.
