At Glovo we need to track a lot of events. And not in only one platform, but a few. That is why we needed vue-multianalytics, a simple plugin that allows you to track any event in multiple platforms at the same time.
This plugin has been inspired by the awesome library vue-ua, so a big thank you to it. If you want to just have Google Analytics, you should use vue-ua instead of vue-multianalytics.
A typical npm install vue-multianalytics -s will be enough to download it.
To start using it, you need to add the plugin in your main .js entry
import VueMultianalytics from 'vue-multianalytics'
let gaConfig = {
appName: 'Test', // Mandatory
appVersion: '0.1', // Mandatory
trackingId: 'YOUR_UA', // Mandatory
debug: true, // Whether or not display console logs debugs (optional)
}
let mixpanelConfig = {
token: 'YOUR_TOKEN'
}
Vue.use(VueMultianalytics, {
modules: {
ga: gaConfig,
mixpanel: mixpanelConfig
}
})
Once the configuration is completed, you can access the vue-multianalytics instance in your components like that :
this.$ma.trackEvent(params, excludedModules)
You can easily exclude modules from being fired by an event adding them to the excludedModules array. This is per-event based, so feel free to use them as you want
// this will exclude mixpanel from being fired
let excludedModules = ['mixpanel']
this.$ma.trackEvent(params, excludedModules)
// this will exclude both, mixpanel and ga from beign fired
this.$ma.trackEvent(params, ['mixpanel', 'ga'])
// this will exclude nothing from beign fired, all the modules will be triggered
this.$ma.trackEvent(params)
vue-multianalytics can be integrated with vue-router to track each new screen view on router change.
To use this feature, you just need to pass your vue-router instance in the params property as vueRouter.
import VueMultianalytics from 'vue-multianalytics'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
const router = new VueRouter(...)
let mixpanelConfig = {
token: 'YOUR_TOKEN'
}
Vue.use(VueMultianalytics, {
modules: {
mixpanel: mixpanelConfig
},
routing: {
vueRouter: router, // Pass the router instance to automatically sync with router (optional)
preferredProperty: 'name', // By default 'path' and related with vueRouter (optional)
ignoredViews: ['homepage'], // Views that will not be tracked
ignoredModules: ['ga'] // Modules that will not send route change events. The event sent will be this.$ma.trackView({viewName: 'homepage'}, ['ga'])
}
})
This feature will generate the view name according to a priority rule:
analyticsconst homeRoute = {
path: '/home',
name: 'home',
meta: {analytics: 'ThisWillBeTheName'}
}
preferredProperty in your vue-multianalytics params, that params will be the used as screen name. Possible params are: name, path, fullPath.path will be used.If you want to ignore some routes, just specify then in the ignoredViews param.
Usually you don't want to call directly the library, but call an interface first to manipulate the data before.
// Not a very good practice
//component1
if (a === condition1) {
this.$ma.trackEvent({action: 'User click'})
} else {
this.$ma.trackError({description: 'Fatal error'})
}
//component2
if (b === condition1) {
this.$ma.trackEvent({action: 'User click'})
}
// Much better using an interface and handle the logic there. No code repeated, better understanding of the flow
// component1
this.$mam.onUserClick(a)
// componen2
this.$mam.onUserClick(b)
To do it so, you just need to create a mixin to act as an interface with the vue-multianalytics.
Just create a module that exports a function accepting as a parameter the analytics library:
export default function (multianalytics) {
return {
onUserClick (input) {
if (input === true) {
multianalytics.trackEvent({action: 'User click'})
} else {
multianalytics.trackError({description: 'Fatal error'})
}
}
}
}
You can define inside all the methods that you want and call all the library api from the parameter received.
You just need to pass the mixin as the third parameter when you initialize the plugin
import VueMultianalytics from 'vue-multianalytics'
import analyticsMixin from './analyticsMixin.js'
Vue.use(VueMultianalytics, {
modules: {
ga: gaConfig
}
}, analyticsMixin)
Everything is already set, you can now call your mixin methods from anywhere in your vue application using this.$mam (instead of this.$ma).
//Component1
export default {
data () {
},
methods: {
bannerClick (input) {
this.$mam.onUserClick(input)
}
}
}
/**

this.$ma.trackView({screenName: 'Homepage'})
/**
* Dispatch a view using the screen name
* params object should contain
*
* @param category
* @param action
* @param label
* @param value
*/
this.$ma.trackEvent({category: 'Click', action: 'Homepage Click', label: 'Great', value: ''})

config: {} // Initial amplitude config
debug: true // Whether or not display console logs debugs (optional)
Supported Events: trackView, trackEvent, setUsername
You can now add your own custom modules simply by calling
VueMultianalytics.addCustomModule(name, Module)
Example:
// OwnModule.js
class OwnModule extends BasicModule {
init() {
// ...
}
trackView ({viewName}) {
if (this.config.debug) {
logDebug(viewName)
}
myowntrack("Page Viewed", { "page": viewName })
}
// ..
}
// main.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueMultianalytics from 'vue-multianalytics'
import OwnModule from 'OwnModule.js'
VueMultianalytics.addCustomModule('ownModule', OwnModule)
// or VueMultianalytics.use('owenit', OwenItModule)
Vue.use(VueMultianalytics, {
modules: {
ownModule: { /* module config */ }
}
})
