npm install --save tealium-tracker
First, you'll need to inject the utag script onto the page.
If using Gatsby, see gatsby-plugin-tealium-utag.
Once utag
is globally available, initialize the Tealium tracker.
import initTealiumTracker from "tealium-tracker";
const { trackPageLoad, trackEvent } = initTealiumTracker();
This gives you access to trackPageLoad
and trackEvent
functions that you can call with the data object (a.k.a. the data layer).
// When page loads
trackPageLoad(myDataLayer); // this will call utag.view(myDataLayer)
// When button is clicked
trackEvent(myDataLayer); // this will call utag.link(myDataLayer)
Since the utag
script loads asynchronously, you might encounter the case where trackPageLoad
or trackEvent
are called before the utag script finished loading.
In this case, tealium-tracker
will put the utag
calls in a queue and flush the queue once the utag
script is loaded.
For this to work, you must emit a "utag-loaded"
event when the utag
script is loaded.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(a,b,c,d){
a='//tags.tiqcdn.com/utag/[ACCOUNT]/[PROFILE]/[ENV]/utag.js';
b=document;c='script';d=b.createElement(c);
d.onload=function() { b.dispatchEvent(new Event("utag-loaded")); };
d.src=a;d.type='text/java'+c;d.async=true;
a=b.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];a.parentNode.insertBefore(d,a)
})();
</script>
If using Gatsby, gatsby-plugin-tealium-utag takes care of emitting this event.
When schema
is passed, tealium-tracker
will automatically validate the data object against the schema before calling utag.view
or utag.link
.
const { trackPageLoad, trackEvent } = initTealiumTracker({ schema });
We use Ajv to perform the validation, so schema
can be something like:
const schema = {
type: "object",
required: ["site", "page"],
properties: {
site: {
type: "string",
minLength: 1
},
page: {
type: "string",
minLength: 1
},
button: {
type: "string",
minLength: 1
}
}
};
To output useful information to the console, do:
const { trackPageLoad, trackEvent } = initTealiumTracker({ debugMode: true });
