mParticle Javascript SDK
Hello! This is the public repo of the mParticle Javascript SDK. We've built the mParticle platform to take a new approach to web and mobile app data and the platform has grown to support 50+ services and SDKs, including developer tools, analytics, attribution, messaging, and advertising services. mParticle is designed to serve as the connector between all of these services - check out our site, or hit us at dev@mparticle.com to learn more.
Documentation
Detailed documentation and other information about mParticle SDK can be found at http://docs.mparticle.com
Include and Initialize the SDK
1. Customize the SDK
You can customize the SDK by setting the mParticle.config
object prior to the SDK-download snippet.
mParticle.config = {
isDevelopmentMode: true,
identifyRequest: {
userIdentities: { email: 'email@example.com', customerid: '123456' }
},
identityCallback: myIdentityCallback
}
2. Include the SDK
To integrate the SDK add the following snippet to your site after customizing mParticle.config
, ideally in the <head>
element. Replace YOUR_API_KEY
with the API key for your mParticle Web workspace.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function (apiKey) {
window.mParticle = window.mParticle || {};
window.mParticle.EventType = {Unknown:0, Navigation:1, Location:2, Search:3, Transaction:4, UserContent:5, UserPreference:6, Social:7, Other:8};
window.mParticle.eCommerce = { Cart: {} };
window.mParticle.Identity = {};
window.mParticle.config = window.mParticle.config || {};
window.mParticle.config.rq = [];
window.mParticle.config.snippetVersion = 2.1;
window.mParticle.ready = function (f) {
window.mParticle.config.rq.push(f);
};
function a(o,t){return function(){t&&(o=t+'.'+o);var e=Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);e.unshift(o),window.mParticle.config.rq.push(e)}}var x=['endSession','logError','logEvent','logForm','logLink','logPageView','setSessionAttribute','setAppName','setAppVersion','setOptOut','setPosition','startNewSession','startTrackingLocation','stopTrackingLocation'],y=['setCurrencyCode','logCheckout'],z=['identify','login','logout','modify'];x.forEach(function(o){window.mParticle[o]=a(o)}),y.forEach(function(o){window.mParticle.eCommerce[o]=a(o,'eCommerce')}),z.forEach(function(o){window.mParticle.Identity[o]=a(o,'Identity')});
var mp = document.createElement('script');
mp.type = 'text/javascript';
mp.async = true;
mp.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://jssdkcdns' : 'http://jssdkcdn') + '.mparticle.com/js/v2/' + apiKey + '/mparticle.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(mp, s);
})('REPLACE WITH API KEY');
</script>
You can then log events, for example, as follows:
mParticle.logEvent('Play Movie', mParticle.EventType.Navigation, {'movie_length':'127 minutes','rating':'PG'});
Creating an Integration
Similar to other mParticle SDKs, the Javascript SDK is able to automatically include, initialize, and delegate API calls to 3rd-party Javascript SDKs. If you would like to add your company as a new Javascript integration, reference the following integrations as examples:
Running the Tests
Prior to running the tests please install all dev dependencies via an npm install
, and build the mParticle.js file as well as the test file by running npm run build
:
$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ npm run testKarma
The test script will run all tests using Karma and ChromeHeadless, Firefox, and Safari by default. To run tests using a different browser, use the command:
$ BROWSER=[browserBrand] npm run testBrowser
where browserBrand can be Edge or IE.
Development Notes
This package comes with the NPM package pre-commit, which will run ESLint when you try to commit.
