The official JavaScript client for UserAle.
Additional documentation can be found at http://draperlaboratory.github.io/useralejs/
To include Userale.js in your project:
<script src="http://draperlaboratory.github.io/useralejs/userale.min.js"></script>
HTML5 Data Parameters are used to configure Userale.js. For example, to set the logging URL:
<script src="userale.js" data-url="http://yourLoggingUrl"></script>
The complete list of configurable options is:
| Param | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| data-url | Logging URL | http://localhost:8000 |
| data-autostart | Should Userale.js start on page load | true |
| data-interval | Delay between transmit checks | 5000 (ms) |
| data-threshold | Minimum number of logs to send | 5 |
| data-user | User identifier | null |
| data-version | Application version identifier | null |
| data-log-details | Toggle detailed logs (keys pressed and input/change values) | false |
| data-resolution | Delay between instances of high frequency logs (mouseover, scroll, etc.) | 500 (ms) |
| data-user-from-params | Query param in the page URL to fetch userId from | null |
| data-tool | Name of tool being logged | null |
Our top priority is to improve the testing system and to complete test coverage. After that is complete:
- Use web workers to remove load from main thread if available
- Update the example server to present a simple test app/interface
- Release Userale.js through channels like NPM, Bower, etc.
Contributions are welcome! Simply submit an issue report for problems you encounter or a pull request for your feature or bug fix. The core team will review it and work with you to incorporate it into Userale.js.
