🚀 Getting Started

1️⃣ Install Dependencies

Run the following command from the root directory:

yarn install:all

This will install dependencies for both the Angular client and the JSON Server backend.

---

2️⃣ Start the Application

To run both the client and server simultaneously, use:

yarn start:all

• 🌍 Client: Runs at http://localhost:4200/
• 🖥️ Server: Runs at http://localhost:3000/

Alternatively, you can start them separately:

# Start Angular frontend
yarn start:client

# Start JSON Server backend
yarn start:server

🔧 Enhanced Configuration

Environment Configuration

Modify environment.ts to configure telemetry settings:

export const environment = {
  production: false,
  apiBaseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/telemetry',
  telemetryEnabled: true,
  syncInterval: 60000, // Sync logs every 60 seconds
  debug: true
};

Advanced Configuration

// App configuration with event handlers
{
  provide: TELEMETRY_CONFIG,
  useValue: {
    enabled: true,
    apiBaseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/telemetry',
    syncInterval: 60000,
    debug: true,
    maxLocalLogs: 1000,
    eventHandlers: {
      onLogCreated: (event) => console.log('Event created:', event),
      onSyncCompleted: (count) => console.log(`Synced ${count} events`),
      onError: (error) => console.error('Telemetry error:', error)
    }
  }
}

📊 Enhanced Telemetry Flow

1. Event Tracking

• User visits a page → Time is recorded in IndexedDB
• User interactions → Actions tracked with rich metadata
• Performance metrics → Automatic collection of load times, memory usage
• Error events → Automatic error capture with stack traces

2. Data Storage

• Local Storage → Events stored in IndexedDB with separate stores for logs and events
• Session Management → Events grouped by session for better analytics
• Metadata Enrichment → Browser info, network status, performance metrics

3. Intelligent Syncing

• Network Awareness → Only sync when connection is suitable
• Retry Logic → Automatic retry with exponential backoff
• Bulk Operations → Optimized for performance with batch processing
• Health Monitoring → Real-time statistics and quota management

4. Analytics Ready

• Structured Data → Type-safe events with rich metadata
• Export Capabilities → Easy to integrate with external analytics
• Privacy Controls → Configurable data collection and retention

🎯 Usage Examples

Basic Tracking

// Automatic page tracking is enabled by default
// The service automatically tracks:
// - Page view time
// - Navigation events  
// - Performance metrics
// - Error events

User Action Tracking

// Track button clicks
this.telemetry.trackUserAction('button', 'click', 'submit-form');

// Track form interactions
this.telemetry.trackUserAction('input', 'focus', 'email-field');

// Track with custom metadata
this.telemetry.trackUserAction('button', 'click', 'purchase', {
  productId: '123',
  price: 29.99
});

Custom Events

// Track business events
this.telemetry.trackCustom('purchase_completed', {
  productId: '123',
  amount: 29.99,
  currency: 'USD'
});

// Track with immediate sync
this.telemetry.trackCustom('critical_event', {
  type: 'security_alert'
}, { syncImmediate: true });

Performance Monitoring

// Track custom performance metrics
this.telemetry.trackPerformance('api_response_time', 150, 'ms');
this.telemetry.trackPerformance('memory_usage', 50.5, 'MB');

Statistics & Health

// Get telemetry statistics
const stats = await this.telemetry.getStats();
console.log('Pending logs:', stats.logsCount);
console.log('Pending events:', stats.eventsCount);
console.log('Database size:', stats.databaseSize);

// Force sync all pending data
await this.telemetry.forceSync();
