I am switching from SegmentIO to their open source version. I used this blog post as a guide but it's not tracking. Anyone see issue with this code:
window.analytics || (window.analytics = []);
window.analytics.methods = ['identify', 'track', 'trackLink', 'trackForm', 'trackClick', 'trackSubmit', 'page', 'pageview', 'ab', 'alias', 'ready', 'group', 'on', 'once', 'off'];
window.analytics.factory = function (method) {
return function () {
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
args.unshift(method);
window.analytics.push(args);
return window.analytics;
};
};
for (var i = 0; i < window.analytics.methods.length; i++) {
var method = window.analytics.methods[i];
window.analytics[method] = window.analytics.factory(method);
}
analytics.load = function(callback) {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.async = true;
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'https://assets.gonegreenstore.com.s3.amazonaws.com/js/analytics.min.js';
script.addEventListener('load', function (e) {
if(typeof callback === 'function') {
callback(e);
}
}, false);
var firstScript = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScript.parentNode.insertBefore(script, firstScript);
};
// Continues from above
analytics.load(function () {
analytics.initialize({
'Google Analytics': {
trackingId: 'UA-40148609-3'
}
});
});
analytics.page();
Ok code from blog was either wrong or outdated. Turns out you can't really load the open source version async out of the box. I have modified code to make it work.
Gist: https://gist.github.com/cyberwombat/11008970
// Create a dummy analytics object until real loaded
window.analytics || (window.analytics = []);
window.analytics.methods = ['identify', 'track', 'trackLink', 'trackForm', 'trackClick', 'trackSubmit', 'page', 'pageview', 'ab', 'alias', 'ready', 'group', 'on', 'once', 'off'];
window.analytics.factory = function(method) {
return function() {
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
args.unshift(method);
window.analytics.push(args);
return window.analytics;
};
};
for (var i = 0; i < window.analytics.methods.length; i++) {
var method = window.analytics.methods[i];
window.analytics[method] = window.analytics.factory(method);
}
// Load analytics async
analytics.load = function(callback) {
if (document.getElementById('analytics-js')) return;
// We make a copy if our dummy object
window.a = window.analytics;
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.async = true;
script.id = 'analytics-js';
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = ('https:' === document.location.protocol ? 'https://' : 'http://') + 'path/to/your/analytics.min.js';
script.addEventListener('load', function(e) {
if (typeof callback === 'function') {
callback(e);
}
}, false);
var first = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
first.parentNode.insertBefore(script, first);
};
analytics.load(function() {
// On load init our integrations
analytics.initialize({
'Google Analytics': {
trackingId: 'UA-XXXXXX-1'
}
});
// Now copy whatever we applied to our dummy object to the real analytics
while (window.a.length > 0) {
var item = window.a.shift();
var method = item.shift();
if (analytics[method]) analytics[method].apply(analytics, item);
}
});
analytics.page();
you can use it like this:
npm install --save analytics.js
import analytics from 'analytics.js';
analytics.initialize({
'Google Analytics': {
trackingId: 'UA-XXXXXX-1',
}
});
analytics.page();
