Aurelia-Application-Insights

An Aurelia plugin that adds Microsoft Application Insights page and event tracking to your application with just a small amount of configuration. Set it up once and forget about it.

If you need a similar plugin for Google Analytics, check out aurelia-google-analytics.

Getting Started

• Install aurelia-application-insights

yarn add aurelia-application-insights

# or ...
npm install aurelia-application-insights --save

# or ...
jspm install aurelia-application-insights

• Use the plugin in your app's main.js:

export function configure(aurelia) {
    aurelia.use.plugin('aurelia-application-insights', config => {
			config.init('<Your Tracker ID>');
			config.attach({
				logging: {
					enabled: true // Set to `true` to have some log messages appear in the browser console.
				},
				logForwarding: {
					enabled: true // Set to `true` to have logged messages and exceptions sent to app inights.
				},
				pageTracking: {
					enabled: true // Set to `false` to disable in non-production environments.
				},
				clickTracking: {
					enabled: true // Set to `false` to disable in non-production environments.
				}
			});
		});

    aurelia.start().then(a => a.setRoot());
}

In order to use the click tracking feature, each HTML element you want to track must contain at least one data-appinsights-* attribute. For example, you may want to categorize the clicks so you would add data-appinsights-category="category 1". You can add as many of these attributes as you want. When the click event is catpured, all of the data-appinsights-* attributes are parsed into a dimension dictionary that is sent to Application Insights. Assuming you have two attributes named data-appinsights-category="category 1" and data-appinsights-label="button", the object sent to Application Insights will look like this:

{
	'category': 'category 1',
	'label': 'button'
}
