Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Tracking

Helper library for interacting with Google Events to track page/screen views and events.

Supports only Google Analytics 4

Usage

Initialize Tracking

Initialize tracking in the module's entry point.

If the user has opted in to telemetry, this will enable tracking by loading the Google Analytics gtag.js script.

By default this will result in a page view being tracked, unless turned off using the second boolean argument.

initializeTracking('Awesome App', false);

Enable/Disable Tracking

Use the disableTracking and enableTracking functions to initialize tracking after the initial page view.

Useful when the user changes his telemetry preferences at a later point.

The isTrackingEnabled() function provides the current opt-in/out status.

Tracking Screen Views

Screen views are like page views, but for web apps. To send screen_view events when users navigate to different screens within an app, use the trackScreenView() function.

trackScreenView('Settings');

Tracking Clicks

Use the trackClick function in your onClick handler.

If links are to open in the same tab, they will only do so after the tracking event has already been sent. This ensures no tracking calls are missed.

trackClick(event, 'contact_support');

Tracking Errors (Exceptions)

You can use trackError to send exception events to measure the number and type of crashes or errors that occur on a web page.

The first parameter is the prefix, the second one the error description, and the third one indicates whether the error was fatal or not.

trackError('demo', 'Division by zero', false);

Tracking Events

At the core of this package is the trackEvent function.

All you need to provide is the event name and as many optional event parameters as you want:

trackEvent('insert_template', {
template_name: 'Awesome Template',
});

User Timings

Use the following helper function to start a timer and return a callback to stop it:

const trackTiming = getTimeTracker('video_transcoding'); // Start timer.
// Perform some long task...
trackTiming(); // Stop timer and send event.
