FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bitsnbolts\LaravelAnalytics\AnalyticsServiceProvider"

Then edit analytics.php in config to your needs. We do config merge in the service provider, so your local settings will stay the same.

Environment-based Configuration

You can configure the whole settings by changing/setting environment variables in your .env file. (Or .env.dusk file if you use Laravel Dusk).

Here is the mapping of configuration value and the environment-based names:

tracking_id
ANALYTICS_TRACKING_ID
tracking_domain
ANALYTICS_TRACKING_DOMAIN (auto)
tracker_name
ANALYTICS_TRACKER_NAME (t0)
display_features
ANALYTICS_DISPLAY_FEATURES (false)

ANALYTICS_ANONYMIZE_IP (true)
auto_track
ANALYTICS_AUTO_TRACK (true)
debug
ANALYTICS_DEBUG (true on local environment)
optimize_id
ANALYTICS_OPTIMIZE_ID

This behaviour was integrated with version 1.3.2.

Other

disable_script_block
You can disable script block generation by configuration value, possible values: (true|false), false by default.

Usage

In controller action (or anywhere else) use following statement to track an event or page view:

//  tracking the current page view
Analytics::trackPage(); // only necessary if `auto_track` is false or Analytics::disableAutoTracking() was called before

//  tracking an event
Analytics::trackEvent('category', 'action');

//  tracking a custom line
Analytics::trackCustom("ga('send', ......"); // this line will be added within the tracking script

You can set an optional campaign for the tracking:

// creating a campaign
$campaign = new \Bitsnbolts\LaravelAnalytics\Data\Campaign('Sales2016');
$campaign->setMedium('web')->setSource('IT Magazine')->setKeyword('Hot stuff');
Analytics::setCampaign($campaign);

You can set an user id for the tracking:

// creating a campaign
Analytics::setUserId($userIdentificationHash);

In your view or layout template (e.g. a blade template) use the following statement:

{!! Analytics::render() !!}

For Google Analytics you should place the statement right below the body tag

<body>{!! Analytics::render() !!}

Dependency Injection

You can inject the analytics provider by referencing the interface:

class PageController extends Controller
{
    public function show(\Bitsnbolts\LaravelAnalytics\Contracts\AnalyticsProviderInterface $analytics)
    {
        $analytics->setUserId(md5(\Auth::user()->id)); // identical to Analytics::setUserId(md5(\Auth::user()->id));
        return view('welcome');
    }
}

How to use

The GoogleAnalytics Provider automatically controls the local environment behaviour for testing purposes.

There is a builtin provider called NoAnalytics. This is for testing environments and tracks nothing. So you do not have to rewrite your code, simple select this provider in analytics configuration for your special environment configurations.

Track a measurement without having javascript

  1. Log in to Google Analytics and create custom definition. There you create a custom metrics. For example: Email opens, Integer type, min: 0 and max: 1 This will be available as metric1.

  2. Within your mail template (or page template) you have to create a tracking image

    <img src="{!! Analytics::trackMeasurementUrl('metric1', '1', new Event, new Campaign, md5($user)) !!}" width="1" height="1" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0 none;" />

  3. That's it

Content Security Policy

Since version 1.3 is a support for Content Security Policy integrated.

Please call the withCSP() on the provider interface instance.

Then use an additional package (or implement on your own) martijnc/php-csp and use the following code in your middleware or your javascript sending controller:

The result looks like this:

On rendering your analytics script the nonce attribute will be automatically added on your script tag.
