Google Analytics event tracking that mirrors Meteor's Collection API.

GAevents

This package makes Google Analytics event tracking more like using Meteor's Collection API.

How to install:

1. make sure you have meteorite installed
   $ npm install -g meteorite
2. inside your project, run:
   $ mrt add GAevents

In your Meteor project:

Note: This is not server code. You should only be working with GAevents within your client files.

GAevents.insert({
  category: "User",
  action: "Purchased",
  label: "SKU:1177291828",
  value: 100 // numeric
}, true) // second argument defaults to false

API

GAevents has only one method, insert. Mirroring the Collection API provides for a very familiar interface to a not-so-familiar process of custom event tracking with Google Analytics.

GAevents.insert(object, bounce);

Pass an object that has the following params:

• category (required): the highest level of type "User", "Account", "Order"
• action (required): describes the event of the category "Purchased", "Created", "Confirmed"
• label: enables you to add more depth to the event. Similar to a tag.
• value: numeric. adds to the count of this category.

Optionally include a boolean (true/false) as second argument.

• bounce: A boolean that when set to true, indicates that the event hit will not be used in bounce-rate calculation. Defaults to false.
