A Google Analytics module for backbone-boilerplate

backbone-boilerplate-analytics

This is a small module for backbone.js framework used with backbone-boilerplate AMD architecture. It wraps google analytics tool to track each route your app's router creates to send google a pageview event.

#How to use it You just need to add this module into your app, maybe in the module directory or as we do into a repo directory, and add this few lines to your main.js file.

##Bind to the router the analytics module ####Don't forget to require the module file. Add these few lines into your router initialize method.

window._gaq = window._gaq || [];  
window._gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X']);  
window._gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'yourdomain.com']);  
return this.bind('all', this._trackPageview);  

##Add a _trackPageView method to your router Add into your router a method that will listen to every route of your app.

_trackPageview: function() {  
    var url;  
    url = Backbone.history.getFragment();  
    window._gaq.push(['_trackPageview', "/" + url]);  
}
