Introduction to analytics-collector

Welcome to the comprehensive guide on analytics-collector, your go-to tool for robust data collection and analysis. This guide features dozens of useful API explanations with hands-on code snippets to elevate your expertise. We also provide a full-fledged app example demonstrating the seamless integration of the APIs covered.

APIs and Code Snippets

1. Initialize Collector

Setup the basic collector instance.

 import AnalyticsCollector from 'analytics-collector';
const collector = new AnalyticsCollector({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  environment: 'production',
});
collector.initialize(); 

2. Collect User Event

Track user events such as clicks and form submissions.

 collector.trackEvent('UserSignUp', {
  username: 'johndoe',
  email: 'john.doe@example.com',
}); 

3. Collect Page View

Track page views to gather insights on user navigation.

 collector.trackPageView('/home'); 

4. Collect Error Logs

Capture and log errors for better debugging.

 try {
  // Your application logic
} catch (error) {
  collector.trackError('ApplicationError', {
    errorMessage: error.message,
    stack: error.stack,
  });
} 

5. Collect Custom Metrics

Add custom metrics to the analysis dataset.

 collector.trackMetric('ServerResponseTime', {
  duration: 150, // in milliseconds
}); 

6. Collect User Feedback

Record user feedback to improve the application.

 collector.trackFeedback('UserFeedback', {
  rating: 5,
  comments: 'Great user experience!',
}); 

App Example

Building a Comprehensive Analytics App

In this example, we’ll create a basic app that integrates multiple APIs provided by analytics-collector.

 import AnalyticsCollector from 'analytics-collector'; import express from 'express';
const app = express(); const collector = new AnalyticsCollector({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  environment: 'production',
});
collector.initialize();
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  collector.trackPageView(req.path);
  next();
});
app.post('/sign-up', (req, res) => {
  const { username, email } = req.body;
  collector.trackEvent('UserSignUp', { username, email });
  res.status(200).send('User signed up!');
});
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  collector.trackError('ApplicationError', {
    errorMessage: err.message,
    stack: err.stack,
  });
  res.status(500).send('Internal Server Error');
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server is running on port 3000')); 

By utilizing these APIs, you can build a comprehensive analytics system that keeps track of user interactions, system performance, and user feedback all in one place.
