jquery-analytics

Description

jQuery plug-in to provide custom analytics. For those of us who can not use Google Analytics at work or just want to dork with something else.

Easy to use

With just a few lines of code you can easily configure your own web page analytics. Just specify the URI you would like to communicate with and everything is a go.

$(function () {
	$(".trace").analytics({
		url: "http://localhost/trace"
	});
});

Custom tags supported out-of-the-box

Often you want to track more meaningful information instead of just page hits. Simply apply any number of custom attributes prefixed with data-analytics- and we will take care of the rest!

<a id="myLink" href="#" data-analytics-outfit="pajamas" data-analytics-shoes="slippers">My link</a>

This will send the following information back:

{
	id: "myLink",
	outfit: "pajamas",
	shoes: "slippers"
}

Determining the flow

It is also possible to track the flow of users while they visit your site by specifying their unique identifier. This can be done during initialization like so:

$(function () {
	$(".trace").analytics({
		url: "http://localhost/trace",
		client: "unique identifier"
	});
});
