React Integration
Usermaven provides a dedicated SDK for React applications that supports tracking. Our SDK offers:
- Automatic page view tracking
- Cross-domain tracking support
- Flexible event tracking with custom payloads
- URL randomization to avoid PII collection
- Namespace support for multiple tracking instances
Installation
Install the Usermaven React package:
npm install @usermaven/react
# or
yarn add @usermaven/react
Setup
Provider Setup
Initialize Usermaven and wrap your application with the provider:
import { createClient, UsermavenProvider } from '@usermaven/react';
// Initialize Usermaven client
const usermavenClient = createClient({
// Required Configuration
key: 'your-api-key',
trackingHost: 'https://events.usermaven.com',
// Optional Configuration
autocapture: true, // Enable automatic event capturing
autoPageview: true, // Automatically track page views
randomizeUrl: false, // Randomize URLs to avoid PII collection
// Cross-domain Tracking (Optional)
crossDomainLinking: false, // Enable cross-domain tracking
domains: 'example.com,example.org', // Specify allowed domains
// Advanced Configuration (Optional)
namespace: 'my-app' // Custom namespace for multiple tracking instances
});
function App() {
return (
<UsermavenProvider client={usermavenClient}>
{/* Your app components */}
</UsermavenProvider>
);
}
export default App;
Usage in Components
Page View Tracking
Use the usePageView
hook to track page views:
import { usePageView } from "@usermaven/react";
function PageComponent() {
// Initialize page view tracking
usePageView();
return (
<div>
{/* Your page content */}
</div>
);
}
Tracking Custom Events
Use the useUsermaven
hook to track custom events:
import { useUsermaven } from "@usermaven/react";
function ButtonComponent() {
const { track } = useUsermaven();
const handleButtonClick = () => {
track('button_click', {
buttonId: 'submit-button',
page: 'checkout',
value: 99.99
});
};
return (
<button onClick={handleButtonClick}>
Click Me
</button>
);
}
Identifying Users
Use the useUsermaven
hook to identify users:
import { useUsermaven } from "@usermaven/react";
function ProfileComponent() {
const { id } = useUsermaven();
const identifyUser = () => {
id({
// Required attributes
id: 'lzL24K3kYw', // Unique ID for the user in database
email: 'user@domain.com', // Email address for the user
created_at: '2021-01-20T09:55:35', // DateTime string when user first signed up
// Recommended attributes
first_name: 'John',
last_name: 'Smith',
// Optional attributes
custom: {
plan_name: 'premium',
},
// Company attributes (for multi-user products)
company: {
// Required Attributes
id: 'uPq9oUGrIt', // Company ID in your database
name: 'Usermaven', // Company Name in your database
created_at: '2021-01-20T09:55:35', // DateTime string when company first signed up
// Optional attributes
custom: {
plan: 'enterprise',
industry: 'Technology',
website: 'https://usermaven.com',
employees: 20
}
}
});
};
return (
<button onClick={identifyUser}>
Update Profile
</button>
);
}
