Dittofeed’s Web SDK allows you to send events from your web app to Dittofeed’s API.

Installation

# Using Yarn
yarn add @dittofeed/sdk-web

# Using NPM
npm install --save @dittofeed/sdk-web

Usage

Dittofeed’s web sdk can be useful for sending Dittofeed events about your application and users.

import { DittofeedSdk } from '@dittofeed/sdk-web';

// Initialize the sdk with a writeKey, which is used to identify your
// workspace. This key can be found at
// https://app.dittofeed.com/dashboard/settings
await DittofeedSdk.init({
  writeKey: "Basic abcdefg...",
});

// Lets you tie a user to their actions and record traits about them. It
// includes a unique User ID and any optional traits you know about the
// user, like their email, name, and more.
DittofeedSdk.identify({
  userId: "123",
  traits: {
    email: "[email protected]",
    firstName: "John"
  },
});

// The track call is how you record any actions your users perform, along
// with any properties that describe the action.
DittofeedSdk.track({
  userId: "123",
  event: "Made Purchase",
  properties: {
    itemId: "abc",
  },
});

// Lets you record whenever a user sees a screen, the mobile equivalent of
// page, in your mobile app, along with any properties about the screen.
DittofeedSdk.screen({
  userId: "123",
  name: "Recipe Screen",
  properties: {
    recipeType: "Soup",
  },
});

// Ensures that asynchronously submitted events are flushed synchronously
// to Dittofeed's API.
await DittofeedSdk.flush();

Install the Snippet

You can also import the Dittofeed snippet into your web app. This snippet will automatically load the Dittofeed SDK and initialize it with your write key.

This is convenient if you want to use the Dittofeed SDK without a build system e.g. in a site builder like Webflow.

<script type="text/javascript">
  var _df = _df || [];

  (function () {
    var methods = ["track", "identify", "page", "flush"];
    methods.forEach(function (method) {
      _df[method] = function () {
        _df.push([method].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
      };
    });

    var script = document.createElement("script");
    script.type = "module";
    script.async = true;

    // If you're self-hosting the Dittofeed dashboard, you'll need to to
    // specificy your own host.
    script.src = "https://app.dittofeed.com/dashboard/public/dittofeed.umd.js";

    script.id = "df-tracker";
    // Replace with your own write key found on: https://app.dittofeed.com/dashboard/dittofeed.umd.js
    script.setAttribute("data-write-key", "Basic my-write-key");
    // If you're self-hosting dittofeed, you'll need to to specificy your own host.
    // script.setAttribute("data-host", "http://localhost:3001");

    document.head.appendChild(script);
  })();

  _df.identify({
    userId: "123",
    email: "[email protected]"
  });
</script>
