The @analytics/custify package works in the browser and server-side in Node.js. To use, install the package, include in your project and initialize the plugin with analytics.
Below is an example of how to use the browser plugin.
import Analytics from 'analytics'
import custifyPlugin from '@analytics/custify'
const analytics = Analytics({
app: 'awesome-app',
plugins: [
// This will load crazy egg on to the page
custifyPlugin({
accountId: '1234578'
})
]
})
/* Track a page view */
analytics.page()
/* Track a custom event */
analytics.track('cartCheckout', {
item: 'pink socks',
price: 20
})
/* Identify a visitor */
analytics.identify('user-id-xyz', {
firstName: 'bill',
lastName: 'murray'
})After initializing analytics with the custifyPlugin plugin, data will be sent into Custify whenever analytics.page, analytics.track, or analytics.identify are called.
See additional implementation examples for more details on using in your project.
