Ember CLI addons that provides a clean and easy way to integrate your Ember application with Segment.com.
ember install ember-cli-segment
v2.1+ is compatible with Ember v1.13+
Add your Segment WRITE_KEY
to the segment
config object for Analytics.js to be loaded and configured automatically.
There is an option available to configure the events log tracking, the default value is false
. This option is optional, but recommended.
In your config/environment.js
ENV['segment'] = {
WRITE_KEY: 'your_segment_write_key',
LOG_EVENT_TRACKING: true
};
There is an option available to disable the default page tracking on the application.didTransition event. If you do not disable this option then tracking events will by default be sent to Segment.
ENV['segment'] = {
defaultPageTrack: false
};
There is an option available to disable the default identify function on the application.didTransition event. If you do not disable this option then identify events will by default be sent to Segment.
ENV['segment'] = {
defaultIdentifyUser: false
};
The addon exposes a service that you can inject in routes, components and more.
// app/components/some-awsome-component.js
import Ember from 'ember';
const { inject: { service } } = Ember;
export default Ember.Component.extend({
segment: Ember.inject.service()
});
Your router will automatically send a page view event to Segment using the method page
under window.analytics
everytime the URL changes.
If you need to call it manually for some reason, you can do it using the following method in the service.
this.get('segment').trackPageView();
The method trackPageView
can receive a parameter that's the page url, if not provided it will fetch from window.location
.
You will probabily need to track other events manually as well. We got you covered! Since we have the service, it's really straightforward to do it.
Let's say that you need to track an event when the user submits an form in your router.
// File: app/routes/posts/new.js
import Ember from 'ember'
const { inject: { service } } = Ember;
export default Ember.Route.extend({
segment: service(),
actions: {
submit: function() {
this.get('segment').trackEvent('Creates a new post');
}
}
});
trackEvent
can receive additional properties as well:
this.get('segment').trackEvent('Creates a new post', { title: "Creating a Ember CLI application" });
All the parameters you can provide are: event
, properties
, options
, callback
in this order.
We will automatically call identifyUser
method from your application
route everytime the URL changes. Inside this method, you should call this.get('segment').identifyUser
passing the parameters that you want to send to Segment.
// File: app/routes/application.js
import Ember from 'ember';
const { inject: { service } } = Ember;
export default Ember.Route.extend({
segment: service(),
identifyUser: function() {
this.get('segment').identifyUser(1, { name: 'Josemar Luedke' });
}
});
You should have in mind that you should make a conditional validation to check if the user is currently logged in. For example:
import Ember from 'ember';
const { inject: { service } } = Ember;
export default Ember.Route.extend({
segment: service(),
identifyUser: function() {
if (this.get('currentUser')) {
this.get('segment').identifyUser(this.get('currentUser.id'), this.get('currentUser')));
}
}
});
All the parameters you can provide are: userId
, traits
, options
, callback
in this order.
Additionally we have an aliasUser
method avaliable on this.get('segment').aliasUser
that you can use when the user logs in in your application.
All the parameters you can provide are: userId
, previousId
, options
, callback
in this order.
This addon will not break fastBoot, however, it will only execute in the browser. Since we use window.analytics
to call segment and we don't have it in fastboot land, the addon will not be executed in fastboot.
