React Tracking Outbrain

Un-official module to easily add Outbrain pageview tracking to react apps. It functions as a tiny wrapper for the native script tag and window api. After initialization the Outbrain script is injected into the document.

Installation

With npm:

npm install react-tracking-outbrain --save

Usage

Before tracking any page views or events the tracker needs to be imported and initialized with the custom tracking id:

import OutbrainTracking from 'react-tracking-outbrain';
OutbrainTracking.initialize('TRACKING_ID');

After initializing page views can be tracked like this:

OutbrainTracking.trackPageview();

There is also the option to track custom events with event action:

OutbrainTracking.trackEvent(eventAction);

There is also a method to expose the raw obApi tracking function api from the window:

OutbrainTracking.getTracker();

How this works

This modules takes care of injecting the provider specific tracking script into the document and provides a tiny wrapper for the tracking api. It also exposes the tracker object api for direct access.

Documentation for the raw tracker api can be found here.
