Official datalayer.js core extension that allows passing in data and events using dedicated metatags.
This extension enables the "rendertime data" feature in datalayer.js. Rendertime data is the most convenient way to pass data from backend applications to the datalayer. You simply put tags into your markup (i.e. your website's HTML, no matter how that is generated) to pass "rendertime" data or events to the datalayer. This makes it extremely comfortable for backend-rendered applications to transport data into the frontend. It also saves you from using inline Javascript, because inline scripts are just bad for your karma ;-) ...
First enable the extension in your code, then use metadata to provide rendertime events and data to datalayer.js.
import { metadata } from 'datalayerjs';
datalayer.use(metadata());<meta name="d7r:data" content='{"page":{"type":"homepage","name":"My homepage"}}' /><meta name="d7r:event" content='{"name":"user-action","data":"something/has/happended"}' />Available configuration options for this extension are:
- metaPrefix: use to customize the
d7r:part of the metatags used to pass the metadata
