mParticle Data Planning Node SDK

Hello! This is the public repo of the mParticle Web Data Planning SDK. We've built the mParticle platform to take a new approach to web and mobile app data and the platform has grown to support 200+ services and SDKs, including developer tools, analytics, attribution, messaging, and advertising services. mParticle is designed to serve as the connector between all of these services - check out our site, or hit us at [email protected] to learn more.

Overview

The main purpose of this project is to validate your customer data before it arrives at mParticle's systems. In simplest terms, a Data Plan represents the contract between your data and mParticle.

This project allows the fetching of Data Plans or Data Plan Versions and the ability to validate your events and batches against said Data Plan Versions.

Getting Started

Importing Data Planning Node

$ npm install @mparticle/data-planning-node

To use this within your project:

import { DataPlanService } from '@mparticle/data-planning-node';

Fetching Data Plans

To fetch a Data Plan or Data Plan Version, you will first need the following credentials:

• Organization ID
• Workspace ID
• Account ID
• Bearer Token from Platform API

import { DataPlanService } from '@mparticle/data-planning-node';

const dataPlanService = new DataPlanService();

// Fetch full data plan
dataPlanService
    .getPlan(<organizationId>,<accountId>, <dataPlanId>, <workspaceId>, <token>)
    .then(dataPlan => {
        // Save or render your data plan
    });

// Fetch Data Plan Version
dataPlanService
    .getVersionDocument(<organizationId>, <accountId>, <dataPlanId>, <workspaceId>, <versionNumber>, <token>)
    .then(dataPlanVersion => {
        // Save or render your data plan version
    });

Validating Data

To validate your event or batch, you should use the validateEvent, validateEvents, or validateBatch methods, respectively.

import { DataPlanService } from '@mparticle/data-planning-node';

const dataPlanService = new DataPlanService();

// Fetch Data Plan Version asynchronously
const dataPlanVersion = await dataPlanService
    .getVersionDocument(<organizationId>, <accountId>, 'my_custom_data_plan, <workspaceId>, 3, <token>);

const batchValidationResults = dataPlanService.validateBatch(batch, dataPlanVersion.version_document);

const eventValidationResults = dataPlanService.validateEvent(event, dataPlanVersion.version_document);

Validation Result Sample

results: [
    {
        data: {
            match: {
                type: 'screen_view',
                criteria: {
                    screen_name: 'Test Screen View',
                },
            },
            validation_errors: [
                {
                    error_pointer: '#/data',
                    key: 'data',
                    expected: 'custom_flags',
                    schema_keyword: 'required',
                    validation_error_type: 'missing_required',
                },
            ],
        },
        event_type: 'validation_result',
    },
],
