I´m using Angularytics in my AngularJS web app. It´s working fine, however, I have three environments (development, test and production) and it´s gathering statistics from both of them. I would like to show analytics only for production enviroment.
I have analyzed many options but all of them have some problems. Now, I would like to edit the angularytics.js script to add a condition, so, the code it will only do something in case $rootScope.ENVIRONMENT constant is Production.
Something like:
(function () {
angular.module('angularytics', []).provider('Angularytics', function () {
if($rootScope.ENVIRONMENT == 'Production') {
var eventHandlersNames = ['Google'];
this.setEventHandlers = function (handlers) {
if (angular.isString(handlers)) {
handlers = [handlers];
}
eventHandlersNames = [];
angular.forEach(handlers, function (handler) {
eventHandlersNames.push(capitalizeHandler(handler));
});
};
var capitalizeHandler = function (handler) {
return handler.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + handler.substring(1);
};
var pageChangeEvent = '$locationChangeSuccess';
this.setPageChangeEvent = function (newPageChangeEvent) {
pageChangeEvent = newPageChangeEvent;
};
this.$get = [
'$injector',
'$rootScope',
'$location',
function ($injector, $rootScope, $location) {
var eventHandlers = [];
angular.forEach(eventHandlersNames, function (handler) {
eventHandlers.push($injector.get('Angularytics' + handler + 'Handler'));
});
var forEachHandlerDo = function (action) {
angular.forEach(eventHandlers, function (handler) {
action(handler);
});
};
var service = {};
service.init = function () {
};
service.trackEvent = function (category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction) {
forEachHandlerDo(function (handler) {
if (category && action) {
handler.trackEvent(category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction);
}
});
};
service.trackPageView = function (url) {
forEachHandlerDo(function (handler) {
if (url) {
handler.trackPageView(url);
}
});
};
service.trackTiming = function (category, variable, value, opt_label) {
forEachHandlerDo(function (handler) {
if (category && variable && value) {
handler.trackTiming(category, variable, value, opt_label);
}
});
};
$rootScope.$on(pageChangeEvent, function () {
service.trackPageView($location.url());
});
return service;
}
];
}});
}());
(function () {
angular.module('angularytics').factory('AngularyticsConsoleHandler', [
'$log',
function ($log) {
var service = {};
service.trackPageView = function (url) {
$log.log('URL visited', url);
};
service.trackEvent = function (category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction) {
$log.log('Event tracked', category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction);
};
service.trackTiming = function (category, variable, value, opt_label) {
$log.log('Timing tracked', category, variable, value, opt_label);
};
return service;
}
]);
}());
(function () {
angular.module('angularytics').factory('AngularyticsGoogleHandler', function () {
var service = {};
service.trackPageView = function (url) {
_gaq.push([
'_set',
'page',
url
]);
_gaq.push([
'_trackPageview',
url
]);
};
service.trackEvent = function (category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction) {
_gaq.push([
'_trackEvent',
category,
action,
opt_label,
opt_value,
opt_noninteraction
]);
};
service.trackTiming = function (category, variable, value, opt_label) {
_gaq.push([
'_trackTiming',
category,
variable,
value,
opt_label
]);
};
return service;
}).factory('AngularyticsGoogleUniversalHandler', function () {
var service = {};
service.trackPageView = function (url) {
ga('set', 'page', url);
ga('send', 'pageview', url);
};
service.trackEvent = function (category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction) {
ga('send', 'event', category, action, opt_label, opt_value, { 'nonInteraction': opt_noninteraction });
};
service.trackTiming = function (category, variable, value, opt_label) {
ga('send', 'timing', category, variable, value, opt_label);
};
return service;
});
}());
(function () {
angular.module('angularytics').filter('trackEvent', [
'Angularytics',
function (Angularytics) {
return function (entry, category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction) {
Angularytics.trackEvent(category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction);
return entry;
};
}
]);
}());
I know a little bit of Angular, however, I think I´m not skilled enough to inject the $rootScope in this script. I always get $rootScope is not defined.
UPDATE Regarding the comments below, I update the post: To add the script conditionally was my first approach. This can be done in a controller like:
if ($rootScope.ENVIRONMENT == 'Production') {
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var js = document.createElement("script");
js.type = "text/javascript";
js.src = "lib/plugins/angularytics-yanpy.js";
head.appendChild(js);
}
This is angularytics-yanpy:
(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');
ga('create', 'UA-59702007-1', 'auto');
In the other hand, you have to add the angularytics script to home page:
I think this will work in production environment. However, now in development a got a javascript error. Because angularytics.js needs the ga object created in the angularytics-yanpy.js. As this script is not created because is in development environment a get the javascript error.
I also added the <script src="lib/plugins/angularytics.js"></script> dinamically. But I got a new error, because this script defines a angularytics provider that is defined in the app.js file.
So, the errors are chained and thats why I tried to update the angularytics.js script in order to keep the provider but in case of environment different that production it should do nothing.
Probably I´m not so clear, but it´s not easy to explain. Just let me know if you need some more clarifications.
You shouldn't be setting the environment in the
$rootScope, it would be best to set it as a constant using grunt-ng-constant (see tutorial).To answer your question. You can inject rootScope into the provider by using:
.provider('Angularytics', function ($rootScope) {});However this isn't a good solution to your overall problem.
A good method would be to detect the hostname and set separate Google Analytic Properties for:
In your html google analytics script add this switch statement.
Note I am setting gaProp in the ga event (last line).
This way you can setup different goals and filters for each property and all your test data doesn't interfere with each other.
