angular-eha.cordova.google-analytics v1.2.2

angular-eha.cordova.google-analytics

Cordova-backed Google Analytics services

Provides Angular services and directives to interact with the Cordova google-analytics-plugin.

Features:

• Click tracking (via the ehaGaClick directive)
• Track arbitrary events (via the ehaGoogleAnalytics service)
• Exception reporting (via the ehaGaDecorator decorator)
• Google Analytics user ID support
• Offline support

Optional integration with ui-router for zero-config page view tracking and state change error reporting.

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install --save angular-eha.cordova.google-analytics

Or alternatively, with Bower:

bower install --save angular-eha.cordova.google-analytics

Usage

1. Ensure google-analytics-plugin is installed correctly. window.analytics should be set if all's well.

2. Add eha.cordova.google-analytics to your app's module dependencies:

   angular.module('app', [
     'eha.cordova.google-analytics'
   ]);

3. Pass a Google Analytics tracking ID in a config block:

   angular.module('app')
     .config(function(ehaGoogleAnalyticsProvider) {
       ehaGoogleAnalyticsProvider.trackingID = 'UA-000000-01';
     });

Services

ehaGoogleAnalytics

Exposes the trackEvent and setUserId methods from google-analytics-plugin's JS API:

• ehaGoogleAnalytics.trackEvent('Category', 'Action', ['Label', ['Value']])
• ehaGoogleAnalytics.setUserId('my-user-id')

… and adds the following event listeners:

$stateChangeSuccess

(Assumes ui-router is in use).

Tracks the current screen (page view) using state.name.

$stateNotFound

(Assumes ui-router is in use).

Tracks a stateNotFound event, with the action unfoundState.to and label fromState.

Directives

ehaGaClick

Add the ehaGaClick attribute to an element to track click events.

<a eha-ga-click="label">Action</a>

Events are reported under Click category, with the element's text used as the action. Optionally, pass a value to the directive to report as the event's label.

Decorators

ehaGaDecorator

This decorates Angular's $exceptionHandler service, reporting Exception events, with the exception's message as the action and the stack trace as the event's label.

Note, we use a standard Google Analytics event (with the Exception category) rather than the exceptions method as the latter is limited to a 100 character string.
