Mouselog.js

Mouselog.js is the client-side agent for Microsoft's Mouselog, a user behavior monitoring platform for websites.

CDN

Embed Mouselog in your HTML files:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mouselog@latest/build/mouselog.js"></script>
<script>
    var agent = mouselog.init();
    agent.run({
        uploadEndpoint: "Your_Server_Url",
        websiteId: "Your_Website_Id",
        endpointType: "absolute"
    });
</script>

You can also include mouselog dynamically in Javascript:

(function() {
    var script = document.createElement("script");
    script.src = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mouselog@latest/build/mouselog.js";
    script.onload = function() {
        var agent = mouselog.init();
        agent.run({
            uploadEndpoint: "Your_Server_Url",
            websiteId: "Your_Website_Id",
            endpointType: "absolute"
        });
    }
    var t = document.getElementsByTagName("script");
    var s = t.length > 0 ? t[0].parentNode : document.body;
    s.appendChild(script, s);
})();

Build Manually

You can also bundle Mouselog.js manually via

npm i
npm run build

This will generate the bundled scripts in ./build.

NPM

Install Mouselog.js via

npm i mouselog --save

Then run Mouselog and it will automatically collect all you want.

// const { Mouselog } = require('mouselog');
import Mouselong from 'mouselog';
let agent = new Mouselog();
agent.run({
    uploadEndpoint: "Your_Server_Url",
    websiteId: "Your_Website_Id",
    endpointType: "absolute"
});

You can also deactivate Mouselog by calling agent.stop().

Configuration

Username

You can set username by assigning the username to window.mouselogUserId.

window.mouselogUserId = "Username"；

Mouselog agent will automatically load it when uploading the data to the server.
