piveau-universal-piwik

A Vue plugin exposing common tracking methods for piveau web apps using Matomo or Piwik Pro.

Installation

npm i @piveau/piveau-universal-piwik

for latest builds:

npm i @piveau/piveau-universal-piwik@beta

Usage

Setup the plugin in main.js. This will add $piwik to Vue to be accessible as app.prototype.$Vue or this.$piwik in all Vue components.

Refer to the demo for an example on how to use this package.

Common usage could look like this:

// In main.ts
import UniversalPiwik from '@piveau/piveau-universal-piwik';
import { router } from './router'; // Optional
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(UniversalPiwik, {
  router, // Optional
  isPiwikPro: true
  trackerUrl: 'http://piwik-pro-host.example.org/',
  siteId: 'your-site-id',
  debug: import.meta.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
});
<template>
  <div id="app">
    <div id="cookies">
      Change consent:
      <div class="flexy consent-action">
        <button class="btn" @click="accept">Accept</button>
        <button class="btn" @click="decline">Decline</button>
        <button class="btn" @click="postpone">Postpone</button>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div id="control-panel">

      <div class="flexy">

      </div>
    </div>
    <div id="nav">

      <router-link to="/about">About</router-link>
    </div>
    <router-view/>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: 'App',
  created() {
    this.$piwik.init();
  },
  methods: {
    accept() {
      this.$piwik.consentGiven();
    },
    decline() {
      this.$piwik.consentDeclined();
    },
    postpone() {
      this.$piwik.consentNoDecision();
    },
    external() {
      this.$piwik.trackOutlink('https://example.org/outlink');
    },
    download() {
      this.$piwik.trackDownload('https://example.org/download');

Plugin construction options

options = {
    router: VueRouter,
    isPiwikPro: true,
    trackerUrl: 'http://piwik-pro-host.example.org/',
    siteId: 'your-site-id',
    debug: import.meta.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
    immediate: false,
    removeCookiesWhenNoConsent: true,
    stopWhenNoConsent: true,
    verbose: false,
    pageViewOptions: { onlyTrackWithLocale: true, delay: 1000, beforeTrackPageView: (tracker, to, from) => {} },
    disabled: false,
    requireConsent: 'consent',
}

router

  • type: VueRouter

when specified, uses default router hooks in order to track page changes. Set it to undefined when it is desired to handle page views manually.

isPiwikPro

  • type: boolean
  • default: false

if true, uses Piwik Pro. If false, uses Matomo.

trackerUrl

  • type: string

Tracker url for Matomo or Piwik Pro

siteId

  • type: string

Tracker site id for Matomo or Piwik Pro

pageViewOptions

  • type: Object<{ useDatasetsMinScoreFix: boolean, onlyTrackWithLocale: boolean, delay: number, beforeTrackPageView(tracker, to, from): Function, documentTitleResolver(to, from, title) }>

Options for the default page view tracking implementation. Set onlyTrackWithLocale to true to only track when there is a locale query in the destination route when navigating. This avoids duplicated page views for piveau applications. Set useDatasetsMinScoreFix to true to only track pages named 'Dataset' when there is a minScore query.

Provide beforeTrackPageView hook to do tasks before a page is being tracked but after a navigation is registered as valid.

Provide documentTitleResolver to override the default document title resolver. If not given, use document.title as document title.

Set delay for Piwik Pro tracker for delayed page view tracking after a navigation has been confirmed in milliseconds. This avoids undefined page titles for piveau applications.

debug

  • type: boolean
  • default: false

If true, enables debug logging on console. Useful for development.

verbose

  • type: boolean
  • default: false

If true and debug is true, additional logging on console.

immediate

  • type: boolean
  • default: false

if true, executes piwik init script immediately.

removeCookiesWhenNoConsent

  • default: true

(PiwikPro only) if true, removes all PiwikPro related cookies when user does not give consent (called by $piwik.declineConsent())

stopWhenNoConsent

  • default: true

(PiwikPro only) if true, stops tracking when uder does not give consent (called by $piwik.declineConsent())

disabled

  • type: boolean

If true, disables all tracker instance methods (the tracker instance still exists). Cannot be changed after initialization.

requireConsent

  • type: string
  • default: 'consent'

If 'consent', requires user consent to track using using requireConsent. If 'cookieConsent', requires user consent to set cookies using requireCookieConsent. If falsy, does not require consent.
