A Firebase project
Download Google-services.json (android) and GoogleService-info.plist (ios) from Firebase console Note: Ionic Demo Project on the way.

Quick start

To install this plugin, follow the Command-line Interface Guide. You can use the following command line:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-analytics --save

Make sure to review the Google Analytics terms and SDK Policy

Javascript API

Note: All success callbacks are in the form 'function () {}', and all failure callbacks are in the form 'function (err) {}' where err is a String explaining the error reason.

{function()} success: (Optional) success callback.
{function()} failure: (Optional) failure callback.

setCurrentScreen(screenName, success, error)

Sets the current screen name, which specifies the current visual context in your app. This helps identify the areas in your app where users spend their time and how they interact with your app. (https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/analytics/FirebaseAnalytics.html#setCurrentScreen)

{String} screenName: (Required) the name of the screen to track.

Note: All screens classes will be tracked as MainActivity in android, and MainViewController in ios, as it is cordova default. You should filter by screen names. It is not possible to change screen class.

logEvent(eventName, options, success, failure)

Logs an app event. The event can have up to 25 parameters. Events with the same name must have the same parameters. Up to 500 event names are supported. Using predefined FirebaseAnalytics.Event and/or FirebaseAnalytics.Param is recommended for optimal reporting. (https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/analytics/FirebaseAnalytics.html#logEvent)
