Add this package as a dependency in your project, then import the library in your code.

yarn add @hotjar/browser

import Hotjar from '@hotjar/browser';

Initialize Hotjar

In order for Hotjar to run, it needs to be initialized with your site ID. You can find your site ID on this page just before your site name.

const siteId = 123;
const hotjarVersion = 6;

Hotjar.init(siteId, hotjarVersion);

Identify API

One of the main interest of this library is to be able to use Hotjar Identify API.

const userId = 'abc_123';
const firstName = 'John';
const favoriteColor = 'blue';

Hotjar.identify(userId, {
  first_name: firstName,
  color: favoriteColor,
});

Manual URL changes

Depending on how your website routing works, you might need to manually instruct Hotjar when a route change has happened. More details about URL changes.

const newPage = '/new';

Hotjar.stateChange(newPage);

Example

You can find a working example on Githup Pages.
