How to add analytics (e.g. Google Analytics, App Insights) about ng-chrome-extension HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

You can add any analytics module to the angular side. For example: https://github.com/angulartics/angulartics2
There you can handle pretty much any event you want.

Don't know if its possible to add it on the chrome side, besides that, don't think you need it there either?

Good luck 👍

Oh, thx for the link, will take a look.

I have successfully added the GA to the chrome side so far. It has been a matter of:

• Adding a separate javascript file with a snippet (it is important since Chrome runtime does not allow to execute inline scripts without some mambo-jumbo policies, so you better place your javascript snippet to the analytics.js than make it a part of the index.html);
• Importing this file to the background page (moreover, a content script should send a chrome.runtime message to the background page if there is a need to track something).

The reason I'd like to track the chrome side of the extensions is because of some events and metrics in my content scripts. So the angular side is more about interacting with UI (e.g. popup, options), and the chrome side is helpful to catch hotkeys, runtime.messages, e.t.c.

All right, glad that it worked out :-)
