By now, you should have access to your own Dashboard project, and the API key pair for the Dashboard collector.
The process that the JavaScript SDK uses for logging events is as follows:
- A new collector object is initialised, with the API key pair values and Analytics URL passed into it
- Your custom event objects are formatted to your choosing
- using the logEvent() Method, your single event is sent via your custom collector to the Simple Analytics Collector
- using the logEvents() Method, your multiple events are sent via your custom collector to the Simple Analytics Collector
First off, we'll start by setting up the script configuration and showing you how to initialise your custom collector in your code.
Afterwards, we'll show you how to format and start logging your own custom events.
