Hello! This is the public repo of the mParticle Web SDK. We've built the mParticle platform to take a new approach to web and mobile app data and the platform has grown to support 300+ integrations including analytics, data warehouses, and marketing automation. mParticle is designed to serve as the connector between all of these services - check out our site, or hit us at developers@mparticle.com to learn more.
Fully detailed documentation and other information about mParticle web SDK can be found at our doc site here
There are two ways to initialize the SDK, either via a script tag, or you can bundle the SDK via NPM. A summary of steps for both are available below, but you should review the detailed documentation for the script tag and self hosting on the mParticle docs site.
To integrate the SDK add the following snippet to your site after customizing mParticle.config, ideally in the <head> element. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key for your mParticle Web workspace.
This snippet pre-populates method stubs for much of the public SDK API, allowing immediate reference to these APIs as the SDK loads.
<script type="text/javascript">
//configure the SDK
window.mParticle = {
config: {
isDevelopmentMode: true,
identifyRequest: {
userIdentities: {
email: 'email@example.com',
customerid: '123456',
},
},
identityCallback: function(result) {
// Do something once an identity call has been made.
// For more information, see https://docs.mparticle.com/developers/sdk/web/idsync/#sdk-initialization-and-identify
console.log(result);
},
dataPlan: {
planId: 'my_plan_id',
planVersion: 2
}
},
};
//load the SDK

)("REPLACE WITH API KEY");
</script>You can then log events, for example, as follows:
mParticle.logEvent('Play Movie', mParticle.EventType.Navigation, {
movie_length: '127 minutes',
rating: 'PG',
});In your root project directory, add the SDK to your package.json:
npm install @mparticle/web-sdk
// index.js
import mParticle from '@mparticle/web-sdk';
let mParticleConfig = {
isDevelopmentMode: true,
identifyRequest: {
userIdentities: {
email: 'email@example.com',
customerid: '123456',
},
},
identityCallback: myIdentityCallback,
dataPlan: {
planId: 'my_plan_id',
planVersion: 2,
},
};
mParticle.init('REPLACE WITH API KEY', mParticleConfig);You can then log events, for example, as follows:
mParticle.logEvent('Play Movie', mParticle.EventType.Navigation, {
movie_length: '127 minutes',
rating: 'PG',
});If you configure mParticle via a snippet tag, the Web SDK is able to automatically include, initialize, and delegate API calls to 3rd-party SDKs. Otherwise you will install them via npm. For more instructions on installing via npm, view the documentation.
If you would like to add your company as a new Javascript integration, reference the following integrations as examples:
- Amplitude
- Appboy
- BingAds
- Device Match
- Google Analytics
- Inspectlet
- Intercom
- Kahuna
- Kissmetrics
- Localytics
- Mixpanel
- Optimizely
- SimpleReach
See CONTRIBUTING.md.
The test script will run all tests using Karma and ChromeHeadless, and Firefox by default. To run tests using a different browser, use the command:
$ BROWSER=[browserBrand] npm run testBrowser
where browserBrand can be another browser such as Edge or IE.
This package comes with the NPM package pre-commit, which will run ESLint when you try to commit.
