Transform URLs using urlTransformer

There is an option to modify URLs before sending them to the matomo instance. This is particularly useful to remove sensitive informations such as IDs from the URLs. This method accepts one parameter (string) and must return a string.

Example use case - removing UUIDs from the URL:

const urlTransformer: (url: string) => {
	const UUIDV4_REGEX = new RegExp(/[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-4[0-9a-f]{3}-[89ab][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}/, "g");
	return url.replaceAll(UUIDV4_REGEX, "**MASKED**");
};

const config: MatomoProviderConfig = {
	trackerBaseUrl: "https://base.url.of.your.tracker",
	siteId: 1,
	urlTransformer
};
