Track events:

In SSR Site:

To track events, simply add special data-attribute to the element you want to track. For example, you might have a button with the following code:

<button class="button"
    data-aesirx-event-name="sign up"
    data-aesirx-event-type="login"
    data-aesirx-event-attribute-a="value-a"
    data-aesirx-event-attribute-b="value-b"
>
  Sign Up
</button>

Add data-attribute with the following format:

data-aesirx-event-name="<event-name>"
data-aesirx-event-type="<event-type>"
data-aesirx-event-attribute-<attribute-name-1>="<attribute-value-1>"
data-aesirx-event-attribute-<attribute-name-2>="<attribute-value-1>"
Or you can use your own Javascript to Track events:
window.trackEventAnalytics(endpoint, referer, data)

(endpoint is the link to your 1st party server which must be installed)

(referer is the referer domain)

(data is the data you want to track)

(event_type should be conversion if you want to track event as conversion)

For example:

trackEventAnalytics(
  "https://example.com",
  "https://aesirx.io",
  {
    event_name: "<event_name>",
    event_type: "<event_type>",
    attributes: [
      {
        name: "<name-1>",
        value: "<value-1>"
      },
      {
        name: "<name-2>",
        value: "<value-2>"
      },
    ],
  }
);

In ReactJS:

import { trackEvent, AnalyticsContext } from "aesirx-analytics";
const CustomEvent = () => {
  const AnalyticsStore = useContext(AnalyticsContext);
  const initTrackEvent = async () => {
    await trackEvent(endPoint, AnalyticsStore.visitor_uuid, referer, {
      event_name: "Submit",
      event_type: "submit",
      attributes: [
        {
          name: "<name-1>",
          value: "<value-1>"
        },
        {
          name: "<name-2>",
          value: "<value-2>"
        },
      ],
    });
  };
  return (
    <button onClick={() => {initTrackEvent();}}> Search </button>
  );
}

In NextJS:

import { trackEvent, AnalyticsContext } from "aesirx-analytics";
const CustomEvent = () => {
  const AnalyticsStore = useContext(AnalyticsContext);
  const initTrackEvent = async () => {
    await trackEvent(endPoint, AnalyticsStore.visitor_uuid, referer, {
      event_name: "Submit",
      event_type: "submit",
      attributes: [
        {
          name: "<name-1>",
          value: "<value-1>"
        },
        {
          name: "<name-2>",
          value: "<value-2>"
        },
      ],
    });
  };
  return (
    <button onClick={() => {initTrackEvent();}}> Search </button>
  );
}

(endPoint is the link to your 1st party server which must be installed)

(referer is the referer domain)
