@segment/snippet

snippet

Render the analytics.js snippet.

The recommended way to use analytics.js is to follow the analytics.js quickstart guide. If you absolutely need to generate a snippet dynamically, this is an alternate solution. Note that when using this in-browser, the global analytics object will not be defined until the snippet is rendered and executed.

Installation

# npm
npm install @segment/snippet

# yarn
yarn add @segment/snippet

Example

const snippet = require('@segment/snippet');

const contents = snippet.max({
  host: 'cdn.segment.com',
  apiKey: '03fwkuu3',
  page: {
    category: 'Docs',
    name: 'Integrations',
    properties: {
      foo: 'bar'
    }
  }
});

API

snippet.max(options)

Returns the maxified version of the analytics.js snippet given a set of options:

• host: the domain name where the analytics.js script is hosted.
• useHostForBundles: If set to true, the snippet will include the _cdn property to tell analytics.js where to fetch bundles from.
• apiKey: the apiKey to load in the snippet.
• page: the options to pass to analytics.page. if page is false, then the page() call will be omitted.
• load: If object, these are the settings passed as the second argument to analytics.load. This can be useful if you want to override Segment.io integration behavior, or if you want dynamically control which integraions load on the client-side for things like GDPR. If set to false the load() call will be omitted.
• ajsPath: override the default analytics.min.js location

snippet.min(options)

Returns the minified version of the snippet.
