Add documentation "Rewrite URLs"
It's possible to modify URLs before sending them to Ackee. This allows you to…
…remove private data from URLs …remove parameters you don't care about …add a path when your navigation state is managed by your app (React) instead of being visible in the URL
It would be cool if someone could write a documentation about how to modify URLs. It's not 100% Ackee related as modifying URLs happens outside of ackee-tracker
.
Here's an example:
const attributes = ackeeTracker.attributes()
// or
const attributes = ackeeTracker.attributes(true)
- Adjust the attributes
Ackee uses window.location.href
for the siteLocation
. You can simply replace this value and provide a custom URL. This allows you to remove unnecessary parameters. You can also transform a state-based navigation into a readable URL.
const customAttributes = {
...attributes,
siteLocation: removeParameters(window.location.href),
}
- Create an instance and track the visit
const instance = ackeeTracker.create({
server: 'https://example.com',
domainId: 'hd11f820-68a1-11e6-8047-79c0c2d9bce0'
})
instance.record(customAttributes)
