Generate Google Analytics code with any isogrammic parameters you like
Here is the default tracking code of Google Analytics.
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');It has the immediate invoked function with seven parameters i s o g r a m.
On the other hand, the index.html of HTML5 Boilerplate includes the following tracking code:
(function(b,o,i,l,e,r){b.GoogleAnalyticsObject=l;b[l]||(b[l]=function(){(b[l].q=b[l].q||[]).push(arguments)});b[l].l=+new Date;e=o.createElement(i);r=o.getElementsByTagName(i)[0];e.src='//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js';r.parentNode.insertBefore(e,r)}(window,document,'script','ga'));As you can see, its parameters are b o i l e r, different from the original's.
This amusing alteration is authored by Mathias Bynens, based on the way of optimization and minification he blogged.
After seeing that, I modularized Bynens's way as this program, isogram.
isogram is a code generator. It enables us to change the parameters of the Google Analytics tracking code, as we like, as long as they are isogrammic.
Isn't it very useful? Indeed, it isn't. But, I think, isogram can surprise the people seeing the source code of your website, such as Bynens's commit.

npm install --global isogram
isogram [parameters] [options]

For example, yummy is not valid, but YuMmy is valid.
--id, -i <ID> Set web property ID
--domain, -d <domain> Set domain
--global, -g <name> Change global variable name ("ga" by default)
--double, -w Use double quotes (single quotes by default)
--minify, -m Minify output like UglifyJS
--no-color, Print code in a single color
--color, -c Colorize parameters anyway (enabled by default)
--no-track, Just load, don't send a pageview
--track, -t Send a pageview after loading (enabled by default)
--help, -h Print usage information
--version, -v Print version
isogram YoyOjs --id 12345678-9 --domain awesome-website.com
yields:
!function(Y,o,y,O,j,s){Y.GoogleAnalyticsObject=y;Y[y]||(Y[y]=function(){
(Y[y].q=Y[y].q||[]).push(arguments)});Y[y].l=+new Date;j=o.createElement(O);
s=o.getElementsByTagName(O)[0];j.src='//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js';
s.parentNode.insertBefore(j,s)}(window,document,'ga','script');
ga('create', 'UA-12345678-9', 'awesome-website.com');
ga('send', 'pageview');You can use isogram as a JavaScript library instead of CLI.
