This repository contains Parse.ly's implementation of "time engaged" tracking. For an explanation of the methodology informing this implementation, see the Parse.ly technical documentation.

While the code tracking time engaged itself is unchanged from Parse.ly's production implementation, the support logic contained in this repository is simplified for clarity. Notably, the javascript bundle is loaded synchronously in this implemtation instead of asynchronously, as it is in the production Parse.ly JavaScript tracker.

To run local tests displaying time engaged tracking, you must first install the project dependencies from npm.

$ npm install

Once all dependencies have been installed, you can run the test server on localhost with

$ grunt run-local

Then, navigate in a browser to http://localhost:8000/standard_engaged_time_local.html. Keep the window and browser tab focused, and the tests will run one at a time.

• src/tracker: contains engaged_time.js, the core time engaged implementation, along with supporting files in the lib subdirectory
• test: contains the javascript file that uses qunit to define the unit tests run by the test page
• src/templates: contains the template file used to generate the html test page
• static: contains the static image, js, and css files needed to render the test page along with standard_engaged_time_local.html, the generated test page accessible via the browser
• tasks: contains mockserver.js, the small local server used to run the test page
