What is Analytics?

Analytics is a free open-source lightweight analytics abstraction library for tracking page views, custom events, & identify visitors.

Features

  • Extendable - Bring your own third-party tool & plugins
  • Test & debug analytics integrations with time travel & offline mode
  • Add functionality/modify tracking calls with baked in lifecycle hooks

Why?

Companies frequently change analytics requirements based on evolving needs. This results in a lot of complexity, maintenance, & extra code when adding/removing analytic services to a site or application.

This library aims to solve that with a simple pluggable abstraction layer.

Driving philosophy:

  • You should never be locked into an analytics tool
  • DX is paramount. Adding & removing analytic tools from your application should be easy
  • Respecting visitor privacy settings & allowing for opt-out mechanisms is crucial
  • A pluggable API makes adding new business requests easy

To add or remove an analytics provider, adjust the plugins you load into analytics during initialization.
