angular-google-experiments

Angular module that interfaces with Google Analytics Experiments, change your content dynamically.

Usage

Install using bower:

bower install angular-google-experiments

Include the code:

<script src="/bower_components/angular-google-experiments/googleExperiments.min.js"></script>

Configure the googleExperimentsProvider with your Experiment ID:

angular.module('myApp', ['googleExperiments'])
    .config(function(googleExperimentsProvider) {
        googleExperimentsProvider.configure({
            experimentId: 'your-experiment-id-goes-here'
        });
    })

Place your content in a variation directive:

<div variation="0">Original</div>
<div variation="1">Variation #1</div>

Load up your page and watch as the chosen variation's content appears.

Potential Issues

Experiment data is not being sent

To register the variation that was picked by the user, you have to ensure that at least one hit is sent to Google Analytics.

I would recommend using the angulartics library for Google Analytics.

Variation is not being picked/chosen

The Google Analytics Experiments javascript has to load before the variation can be chosen. Currently I'm using a timeout that assumes the javascript instantly loads (Google's servers are pretty quick) to set the variation.

If the variation is null, either your experiment ID is incorrect, or you have to increase the timeout because the script is taking longer to load.

I tried to fix this by using onload and onreadystate, but the only consistent thing I found that worked was using the timeout.
