Google Analytics Scroll Events

A browser JavaScript library for binding Google Analytics events to the window scrolling to an element.

Use Case

I often have clients make requests to build elements that reduce the height of a page. In many cases I suspected that most users were willing to scroll which made the element superfluous. If users are willing to scroll to some content further down the page, what's the point of adding complexity to move content closer to the top?

This lets you create data on how often a user scrolls to a certain point in the content.

Usage

npm install google-analytics-scroll-events

const addEvent = require('google-analytics-scroll-events')

addEvent('Body',1,'body')
addEvent('Foo Element',2,'.foo')
addEvent('Bar Element',3,'#bar')

API

createGoogleAnalyticsScrollEvent(label,value,selector)

Adds an event which will fire when the window scrolls past the selected element. Events only fire once.

• label A label that will be used as a key for JavaScript objects and as the eventLabel in the Google Analytics event
• value The eventValue in the Google Analytics event
• selector A selector to be used by document.querySelector for the element that must be scrolled to in order to fire the Google Analytics event
