angular-cc-appinsights

An AngularJS module for integrating Microsoft's Application Insights within a SPA

Core features

• Configure the official Application Insights (AI) SDK with telemetry initializers that are angular services
• Automatically track page views in AI on every client-side route change
• Automatically track exceptions in AI that are sent to the angular $exceptionHandler service

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A Microsoft Application Insights Instrumentation Key:
  • This can be obtained from https://portal.azure.com, and registering an Application Insights resource.
  • Following the official guide : Create a new Application Insights resource

Installation

From NPM

npm install angular-cc-appinsights --save

From Source

> git clone https://github.com/christianacca/angular-cc-appinsights.git
> cd angular-cc-appinsights
> npm install
> npm run build:full

The compiled angular-cc-appinsights library will be in the dist/ folder.

Setup

1. Add and initialize the Application Insights SDK

• Add a script reference to the Application Insights SDK in your main html file. Make sure it is one of the first scripts to load:

	<script src="path/to/app-insights/ai.0.js"></script>

Note: you will find the latest version of the SDK in the dist folder of the official github repo

• Immediately after the script reference above, add another script that initializes the Application Insights SDK. A minimal example of this script:

var snippet = {
	config: {
		instrumentationKey: "YOUR_KEY_HERE"
	}
};
var init = new Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Initialization(snippet);
var appInsights = init.loadAppInsights();

2. Add cc-appinsights angular module

• Add script reference to cc-appinsights javascript:

	<script src="path/to/angular-cc-appinsights.min.js"></script>

• Where you declare your app module, add cc-appinsights:

angular.module('myApp', ['cc-appinsights']);

• In an angular config function, configure the ccAppInsightsProvider:

JS

angular.module('myApp').config(configWithAppInsigths);

configWithAppInsigths.$inject = ['ccAppInsightsProvider'];

function configWithAppInsigths(appInsightsProvider) {
	appInsightsProvider.configure(); 
}

Typescript

/// <reference path="path/to/angular-cc-appinsights.d.ts" />

angular.module('myApp').config(configWithAppInsigths);

configWithAppInsigths.$inject = ['ccAppInsightsProvider'];

function configWithAppInsigths(appInsightsProvider: cc.appinsights.AppInsightsProvider) {
    appInsightsProvider.configure();
}
