Analytics tracking package for Laravel

Latest Stable Version Latest Unstable Version License Total Downloads

Quickstart

composer require ipunkt/laravel-analytics

Add to providers in config/app.php:

Ipunkt\LaravelAnalytics\AnalyticsServiceProvider::class,

Add to aliases in config/app.php:

'Analytics' => Ipunkt\LaravelAnalytics\AnalyticsFacade::class,

To your .env add these variables and set them to your liking:

ANALYTICS_PROVIDER=GoogleAnalytics
ANALYTICS_TRACKING_ID=your-tracking-id

We support the whole configuration as environment variables. Please see Configuration section.

Finally, just above your </head> closing tag place, this code:

{!! Analytics::render() !!}

You now have Google Analytics working. Enjoy!

Installation

Add to your composer.json following lines

"require": {
	"ipunkt/laravel-analytics": "~1.0"
}

Add Ipunkt\LaravelAnalytics\AnalyticsServiceProvider::class, to providers in app/config/app.php.

Optional: Add 'Analytics' => Ipunkt\LaravelAnalytics\AnalyticsFacade::class, to aliases in app/config/app.php.

Run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ipunkt\LaravelAnalytics\AnalyticsServiceProvider"

Then edit analytics.php in config to your needs. We do config merge in the service provider, so your local settings will stay the same.

Configuration

provider
Provider to use, possible Providers are: GoogleAnalytics, NoAnalytics

Google Analytics

tracking_id
Tracking ID, Your tracking id for Google Analytics
tracking_domain
Tracking domain, unset or set to "auto" for automatic fallback
tracker_name
Tracker name
display_features
enabling the display features plugin, possible values: (true|false)
anonymize_ip
anonymize users ip, possible values: (true|false)
auto_track
auto tracking current pageview, possible values: (true|false)
debug
enabling the debug mode, possible values: (true|false)

Environment-based Configuration

You can configure the whole settings by changing/setting environment variables in your .env file. (Or .env.dusk file if you use Laravel Dusk).

Here is the mapping of configuration value and the environment-based names:

tracking_id
ANALYTICS_TRACKING_ID
tracking_domain
ANALYTICS_TRACKING_DOMAIN (auto)
tracker_name
ANALYTICS_TRACKER_NAME (t0)
display_features
ANALYTICS_DISPLAY_FEATURES (false)
anonymize_ip
ANALYTICS_ANONYMIZE_IP (true)
auto_track
ANALYTICS_AUTO_TRACK (true)
debug
ANALYTICS_DEBUG (true on local environment)

This behaviour was integrated with version 1.3.2.

Usage

In controller action (or anywhere else) use following statement to track an event or page view:

//	tracking the current page view
Analytics::trackPage();	// only necessary if `auto_track` is false or Analytics::disableAutoTracking() was called before

//	tracking an event
Analytics::trackEvent('category', 'action');

//	tracking a custom line
Analytics::trackCustom("ga('send', ......"); // this line will be added within the tracking script

You can set an optional campaign for the tracking:

// creating a campaign
$campaign = new \Ipunkt\LaravelAnalytics\Data\Campaign('Sales2016');
$campaign->setMedium('web')->setSource('IT Magazine')->setKeyword('Hot stuff');
Analytics::setCampaign($campaign);

You can set an user id for the tracking:

// creating a campaign
Analytics::setUserId($userIdentificationHash);

In your view or layout template (e.g. a blade template) use the following statement:

{!! Analytics::render() !!}

For Google Analytics you should place the statement right behind the body tag

<body>{!! Analytics::render() !!}

Dependency Injection (since 1.2.0)

You can inject the analytics provider by referencing the interface:

class PageController extends Controller
{
	public function show(\Ipunkt\LaravelAnalytics\Contracts\AnalyticsProviderInterface $analytics)
	{
		$analytics->setUserId(md5(\Auth::user()->id)); // identical to Analytics::setUserId(md5(\Auth::user()->id));
		return view('welcome');
	}
}

How to use

The GoogleAnalytics Provider automatically controls the local environment behaviour for testing purposes.

There is a builtin provider called NoAnalytics. This is for testing environments and tracks nothing. So you do not have to rewrite your code, simple select this provider in analytics configuration for your special environment configurations.

Track a measurement without having javascript

  1. Log in to Google Analytics and create custom definition. There you create a custom metrics. For example: Email opens, Integer type, min: 0 and max: 1 This will be available as metric1.

  2. Within your mail template (or page template) you have to create a tracking image

    <img src="{!! Analytics::trackMeasurementUrl('metric1', '1', new Event, new Campaign, md5($user)) !!}" width="1" height="1" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0 none;" />

  3. That's it

Content Security Policy

Since version 1.3 is a support for Content Security Policy integrated.

Please call the withCSP() on the provider interface instance.

Then use an additional package (or implement on your own) martijnc/php-csp and use the following code in your middleware or your javascript sending controller:

use Phpcsp\Security\ContentSecurityPolicyHeaderBuilder;

$policy = new ContentSecurityPolicyHeaderBuilder();

// Set the default-src directive to 'none'
$policy->addSourceExpression(ContentSecurityPolicyHeaderBuilder::DIRECTIVE_DEFAULT_SRC, 'none');

// Add the nonce to the script-src directive
$policy->addNonce(ContentSecurityPolicyHeaderBuilder::DIRECTIVE_SCRIPT_SRC, $analytics->withCSP()->cspNonce());

foreach ($policy->getHeaders(true) as $header) {
    header(sprintf('%s: %s', $header['name'], $header['value']));
}

The result looks like this:

array (size=1)
  0 => 
    array (size=2)
      'name' => string 'Content-Security-Policy' (length=23)
      'value' => string 'default-src 'none'; script-src 'nonce-RandomNonceStringFromAnalyticsProvider';' (length=58)

On rendering your analytics script the nonce attribute will be automatically added on your script tag.
