Metrics.js

Metrics.js is a simple script that will log events to Hone's server as well as Mixpanel's. It is written with some ES6 features so it needs to compiled using es6ify.

Usage

Right now it is small and will hopefully be inlined so no queueing is setup, but it can be used in sync form

<script src="/path-to/metrics.min.js"></script>

Then we need to initialize metrics with the keys using

Metrics::init

• params
  • options { Object }
    • options.domain { String } - domain to log events to
    • options.mixpanel { String } - mixpanel api key

metrics.init( {
    domain: 'http://localhost:8000',
    mixpanel: 'FOOBARBAZQUX'
} );

To track an event

Metrics::track

• params
  • eventName { String } - Event name
  • meta { Object } - An Object with meta data about event

metrics.track( 'foo' , { 
    bar: 'baz',
    qux: 'foo'
} );

To identify a user

Metrics::identify

• params
  • identity { Object } - An Object with id and email of a user
    • identity.id { String } - An unique identifier
    • identity.email { String } - The users email

This fires both mixpanel.identify & mixpanel.name_tag

metrics.identify( { 
    id: 'foobar', // goes to mixpanel.identify
    email: '[email protected]' // goes to mixpanel.name_tag
} );

To register a user

Metrics::register

• params
  • user { Object } - An Object with user information to register with mixpanel

This only fires an event to mixpanel since we should already have the user in our systems

metrics.register( { User } );
