grunt-trackjs

Grunt plugin for TrackJS

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-trackjs --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-trackjs');

The "trackjs" task

Run this task with the grunt trackjs command.

To prevent build process issues with other libraries & dependancy loaders (ex: RequireJS), this task will create a TrackJS configuration file and prepend it to the TrackJS library file (pulled from npm). This allows TrackJS to be loaded by other libraries as an isolated entity, and ensures that it's loaded and configured at the stage time of that library’s build process.

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named trackjs to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  trackjs: {
    your_target: {
      // Main settings
      options: {
        // TrackJS options
      }
    }
  },
})

Settings

output

Type: String

The path for the file that the custom TrackJS script will be written to.

token

Type: String

Unique TrackJS client authorization token.

gitversion

Type: Bool Default: false

Enabling this will cause the task to spawn a child process and read the output of the "git describe" command. This output will be saved against the TrackJS version option.

Options

All TrackJS options are available. Please review the options here. No options are set by default.

Usage Examples

Basic Options

In this example, we create a target for a production environment and set some simple TrackJS options.

grunt.initConfig({
  trackjs: {
    production: {
      output: 'js/tracker.js',
      token: 'f3bdXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
      options: {
        application: 'myApp',
        serialize: function(data) {
          return JSON.stringify(data);
        }
      }
    }
  },
});

Enabling Git Version

In this example, we map our git version number to TrackJS options automatically.

grunt.initConfig({
  trackjs: {
    production: {
      output: 'js/tracker.js',
      token: 'f3bdXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
      gitversion: true
    }
  },
});
