# App Analytics
App Analytics allows the collection of application and session events.
It is important to maintain only one instance of UnifiedPlugin
throughout the app.
# Start Session
To start a session, use the begin
method. Optionally, you can pass custom dimensions to be populated in the Suite. It also has a boolean to force a new session if set.
To start a new session when another one is still open, use the newSession
or begin({}, true)
method. You can also pass custom dimensions.
# Navigation
For navigation, use the fireNav
method if you are sure the session has started.
# End Session
To end a session, use the end
method. You can add parameters that will be sent in the request and populated if they are properly configured.
# Custom Events
Custom events will populate session events in the suite. To do this, call the fireEvent
method with the event name. You can also add custom dimensions, custom metrics, and send parameters directly in the request.
# Code Examples
# Start Session (different options)
// Start a new session
unifiedPlugin.appAnalytics.newSession();
// Start session with custom dimensions
const dimensions = {
'dimension1': 'value1',
'dimension2': 'value2'
}
unifiedPlugin.appAnalytics.newSession(null, dimensions);
// Start new session with analytics options
let analyticsOptions = {
'session.metrics': sessionMetrics
};
unifiedPlugin.appAnalytics.newSession(analyticsOptions);
