Aurelia-Google-Analytics

An Aurelia plugin that adds Google Analytics page tracking to your application with just a small amount of configuration. Set it up once and forget about it.

This plugin was built based on this blog post.

Getting Started

• Install aurelia-google-analytics

jspm install aurelia-google-analytics

# In case the above does not work for some reason, the following will work:
# jspm install aurelia-google-analytics=github:miguelzakharia/aurelia-google-analytics

• Use the plugin in your app's main.js:

export function configure(aurelia) {
    aurelia.use
        //...
        .plugin('aurelia-google-analytics', config => {
			config.init('<Your Tracker ID>');
			config.attach({
				logging: {
					enabled: true // Set to `true` to have some log messages appear in the browser console.
				},
				pageTracking: {
					enabled: true // Set to `false` to disable in non-production environments.
				},
				clickTracking: {
					enabled: true, // Set to `false` to disable in non-production environments.
					filter: (element) => {
						// This can contain any logic to determine which elements to track.
						return element instanceof HTMLElement &&
							(element.nodeName.toLowerCase() === 'a' ||
							element.nodeName.toLowerCase() === 'button');
					}
				}
		});

    aurelia.start().then(a => a.setRoot());
}

In order to use the click tracking feature, each HTML element you want to track must contain a data-analytics-category and data-analytics-action attribute. data-analytics-label is supported and optional.
