Installation

To install the library in your application use

yarn add @comparaonline/event-tracker

or

npm install @comparaonline/event-tracker

Usage example

After installing the package you can send an event using the function track. For example:

import { track, BUSINESS_UNIT, COUNTRY_CODE } from '@comparaonline/event-tracker';

// Example of form step render event
track({
  name: 'form_step_render',
  data: {
    app_name: 'my-app',
    app_version: '1.0.0',
    country_code: COUNTRY_CODE.CL,
    business_unit: BUSINESS_UNIT.CAR_INSURANCE,
    user_type: 'anonymous',
    quote_id: '12345',
    accordion_index: '0',
    accordion_name: 'personal-information'
  }
});

// Example of transaction event
track({
  name: 'transaction',
  data: {
    app_name: 'my-app',
    app_version: '1.0.0',
    country_code: COUNTRY_CODE.CL,
    business_unit: BUSINESS_UNIT.CAR_INSURANCE,
    user_type: 'registered',
    user_id: 'user-123',
    transaction_id: 'trans-456',
    amount: 15000,
    currency: 'CLP'
  }
});

The library will automatically send the event to all enabled trackers (currently ABTasty and Heap).

Trackers

The trackers currently supported by the library are:

• ABTasty: Used for A/B testing and analytics.
• Heap: Used for user behavior analytics.

The library is configured to use both trackers by default. The events are automatically sent to both trackers when you use the track function.

Event Types

The library supports various event types:

• attached_policy_to_user: Track when a policy is attached to a user
• cancel_policy_requested: Track when a user requests a policy cancellation
• cep_autocompleted: Track when a postal code is autocompleted
• form_step_render: Track when a form step is rendered
• payment_method_updated: Track when a payment method is updated
• person_autocompleted: Track when person information is autocompleted
• transaction: Track a transaction
• tutorial_begin: Track when a tutorial begins
• tutorial_complete: Track when a tutorial is completed
• user_account_onboarding_completed: Track when user onboarding is completed
• vehicle_autocompleted: Track when vehicle information is autocompleted

Each event type requires specific data. You can import the type definitions to ensure you're providing the correct data:

import { track, BUSINESS_UNIT, COUNTRY_CODE } from '@comparaonline/event-tracker';
import type { FormStepRenderData } from '@comparaonline/event-tracker';

const eventData: FormStepRenderData = {
  app_name: 'my-app',
  app_version: '1.0.0',
  country_code: COUNTRY_CODE.CL,
  business_unit: BUSINESS_UNIT.CAR_INSURANCE,
  user_type: 'anonymous',
  quote_id: '12345',
  accordion_index: '0',
  accordion_name: 'personal-information'
};

track({
  name: 'form_step_render',
  data: eventData
});

Migrating from previous versions

If you're migrating from version 6.x or earlier, there are significant changes to the API. The main changes are:

1. The sendEvent function has been replaced with track
2. Event types and constants are now exported directly from the main module
3. There are no longer separate endpoints like SNOWPLOW_APP or TAG_MANAGER_APP
4. Event tracking is handled automatically to all enabled trackers

To migrate, update your imports and replace your event sending code:

Old code:

import { endpoints, sendEvent, types } from '@comparaonline/event-tracker/';
import {
  carInsuranceGenerators,
  FormSubmitParams,
} from '@comparaonline/event-tracker/eventGenerators/carInsurance';

const rawFormSubmit: FormSubmitParams = {
  appVersion: '1.0',
  appName: 'test-module',
  countryCode: types.CountryCodeTypes.chile,
  formId: 'asdf',
  formType: types.FormTypes.wizard,
  formSubmitStatus: types.FormStatusTypes.successful,
  funnelType: types.FormRelatedTypes.FunnelTypes.quote,
  formValues: { a: 'asdf', b: 'sdf' },
};
const formSubmit = carInsuranceGenerators.generateFormSubmit(rawFormSubmit);
sendEvent(endpoints.SNOWPLOW_APP, formSubmit);

New code:

import { track, BUSINESS_UNIT, COUNTRY_CODE } from '@comparaonline/event-tracker';

track({
  name: 'form_step_render',
  data: {
    app_name: 'test-module',
    app_version: '1.0',
    country_code: COUNTRY_CODE.CL,
    business_unit: BUSINESS_UNIT.CAR_INSURANCE,
    user_type: 'anonymous',
    quote_id: 'asdf',
    accordion_index: '0',
    accordion_name: 'form-step'
  }
});
