Installation

npm install ngx-analytics --save

Include it in your application

  1. Add NgxAnalyticsModule to your root NgModule passing an array of providers to enable
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';

import { NgxAnalyticsModule } from 'ngx-analytics';
import { NgxAnalyticsGoogleAnalytics } from 'ngx-analytics/ga';

const ROUTES: Routes = [
  { path: '',      component: HomeComponent },
  { path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot(ROUTES),

    // added to imports
    NgxAnalyticsModule.forRoot([NgxAnalyticsGoogleAnalytics]),
  ],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
  1. Required: Import your providers in the root component. This starts the tracking of route changes.
// component
import { NgxAnalyticsGoogleAnalytics } from 'ngx-analytics/ga';

@Component({  ...  })
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(ngx-analyticsGoogleAnalytics: NgxAnalyticsGoogleAnalytics) {}
}

Usage

Tracking events

To track events you can inject the directive ``ngx-analyticsOn` into any component and use the attributes `ngx-analyticsOn`, `angularticsAction` and `angularticsCategory``:
// component
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'song-download-box',
  template: `
    <div 
      ngx-analyticsOn="click"
      angularticsAction="DownloadClick" 
      [angularticsCategory]="song.name">
      Click Me
    </div>`,
})
export class SongDownloadBox {}

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxAnalyticsModule } from 'ngx-analytics';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    NgxAnalyticsModule,
  ],
  declarations: [
    SongDownloadBox,
  ]
})

If you need event label, you can use
<div 
  ngx-analyticsOn="click"
  angularticsAction="DownloadClick" 
  angularticsLabel="label-name" 
  angularticsValue="value" 
  [angularticsCategory]="song.name" 
  [angularticsProperties]="{'custom-property': 'Fall Campaign'}">
  Click Me
</div>

Tracking events in the code

import { NgxAnalytics } from 'ngx-analytics';
constructor(private ngx-analytics: NgxAnalytics) {
  this.ngx-analytics.eventTrack.next({
    action: 'myAction', 
    properties: { category: 'myCategory' },
  });
}

If you need event label
this.ngx-analytics.eventTrack.next({
  action: 'myAction',
  properties: { 
    category: 'myCategory', 
    label: 'myLabel',
  },
});

Exclude routes from automatic pageview tracking

Pass string literals or regular expressions to exclude routes from automatic pageview tracking. ````ts NgxAnalyticsModule.forRoot(providers, { pageTracking: {
excludedRoutes: [
  /\/[0-9]{4}\/[0-9]{2}\/[a-zA-Z0-9|\-]*/,
  '2017/03/article-title'
],
} }), ````

Remove ID's from url paths

/project/12981/feature becomes /project/feature ````ts NgxAnalyticsModule.forRoot(providers, { pageTracking: {
clearIds: true,
} }), ``` By default, it removes IDs matching this pattern (ie. either all numeric or UUID) : ^\d+$|^0-9a-fA-F{8}-0-9a-fA-F{4}-0-9a-fA-F{4}-0-9a-fA-F{4}-0-9a-fA-F{12}$`.
You can set your own regexp if you need to :
/project/a01/feature becomes /project/feature ````ts NgxAnalyticsModule.forRoot(providers, {
pageTracking: {
  clearIds: true,
  idsRegExp: /^[a-z]\d+$/,
}
}), ````

Remove Query Params from url paths

This can be combined with clearIds and idsRegExp
/project/12981/feature?param=12 becomes /project/12981/feature ````ts NgxAnalyticsModule.forRoot(providers, { pageTracking: {
clearQueryParams: true,
} }), ````

Using Without A Router

Warning: this support is still experiemental
@angular/router must still be installed! However, it will not be used. ````ts import { NgxAnalyticsRouterlessModule } from 'ngx-analytics/routerlessmodule'; @NgModule({ // ... imports:
BrowserModule,
NgxAnalyticsRouterlessModule.forRoot([NgxAnalyticsGoogleAnalytics]),
, }) ````

Using With UI-Router

Warning: this support is still experiemental
@angular/router must still be installed! However, it will not be used.
````ts import { NgxAnalyticsUirouterModule } from 'ngx-analytics/uiroutermodule'; @NgModule({ // ... imports:
BrowserModule,
NgxAnalyticsUirouterModule.forRoot([NgxAnalyticsGoogleAnalytics]),
, }) ````

Supported providers

For other providers

If there's no NgxAnalytics plugin for your analytics vendor of choice, please feel free to write yours and PR' it!

Minimal setup for Google Analytics

To setup Google Analytics add the folowing to main.ts
import {NgxAnalyticsGoogleAnalytics} from "ngx-analytics/ga";


if (environment.production) {
  // ...
  NgxAnalyticsGoogleAnalytics.prototype.createGaSession(environment.googleAnalytics);
}

you can add other environments if you want. In your environment.prod.ts add the configuration
export const environment = {
  production: true,
  // ...
  googleAnalytics: {
    domain: 'auto',
    trackingId: 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X' // replace with your Tracking Id
  }
};

for localhost environments replace 'auto' with 'none'

v4 Migration and Breaking Changes

SystemJS

Using SystemJS? If you aren't using defaultJSExtensions: true you may need to use:
System.config({
    packages: {
        "/ngx-analytics": {"defaultExtension": "js"},
    },
});
