Overview

Interface for working with analytic services. The library is supposed to unify work with various analytic services. The main actors are:

• AnalyticAction — any action that is valuable for analytics. Usually it is a "button pressed" or "screen opened" type of event but the main criterion is a possibility to be handled by AnalyticStrategy.
• AnalyticActionPerformer - an interface for analytic action performers. This class is an abstract base class for analytic strategies.
• AnalyticStrategy — a class that provides a special way to send an analytical action. To create a custom analytic strategy, you should extend this class and implement the performAction method.
• AnalyticService — a class that provides a way to send analytic action using a set of analytic strategies. To use this class, you should create an instance of it with a set of analytic strategies, and then call the performAction method to send analytic action.

Example

The easiest interaction with the library is as follows:

1. Determine the actions that ought to be recorded in the analytics service:

   class MyAnalyticAction implements AnalyticAction {
       final String key;
       final String value;
   
       MyAnalyticAction(this.key, this.value);
   }
   
   class ButtonPressedAction extends MyAnalyticAction {
       ButtonPressedAction() : super("button_pressed", null);
   }
   
   class ScreenOpenedAction extends MyAnalyticAction {
       ScreenOpenedAction({String param}) : super("screen_opened", param);
   }
   

2. Implement analytic strategy:

   class MyAnalyticStrategy
       extends AnalyticStrategy<MyAnalyticAction> {
       final SomeAnalyticsApi _analyticsApi;
   
       SomeAnalyticsApi(this._analyticsApi);
   
       @override
       void performAction(MyAnalyticAction action) {
           _analyticsApi.send(action.key, action.value);
       }
   }
   

3. Create an AnalyticService with your strategy:

   final analyticService = AnalyticService.withStrategies({
       MyAnalyticStrategy(analytics),
   });
   

Usage:

    analyticService.performAction(ButtonPressedAction());

Installation

Add analytics to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  analytics: $currentVersion$

At this moment, the current version of analytics is .

Migrating from 1.x.x to 2.x.x

1.x.x

    final analyticService = DefaultAnalyticService();
    analyticService.addActionPerformer(
        MyAnalyticActionPerformer(SomeAnalyticService()),
    );

Starting from version 2.0.0, sending an event to a specific analytics service is implemented using strategies. The AnalyticService class stores these strategies. Implement analytics strategies using the AnalyticStrategy egy class.

    final analyticService = AnalyticService.withStrategies({
        MyAnalyticStrategy(analytics),
    });
