angulartics-piwik

Piwik plugin for angulartics

Install

First make sure you've read installation and setup instructions for Angulartics.

Then you can install this package either with npm or with bower.

npm

npm install --save angulartics-piwik

Bower

bower install --save angulartics-piwik

Add the <script> to your index.html:

<script src="/bower_components/angulartics-piwik/dist/angulartics-piwik.min.js"></script>

Then add angulartics.piwik to your module:

angular.module('myApp', ['angulartics', 'angulartics.piwik'])

Next, set the piwik tracker code as you would normally with piwik somewhere on your page, per piwik's tracking javascript guide:

<!-- Piwik -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  var _paq = _paq || [];
  // _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  (function() {
    var u="//{$PIWIK_URL}/";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', {$IDSITE}]);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.type='text/javascript'; g.async=true; g.defer=true; g.src=u+'piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<noscript><p><img src="//piwik.yourdomain.com/piwik.php?idsite={$IDSITE}" style="border:0;" alt="" /></p></noscript>
<!-- End Piwik Code -->

In this tracking code, {$PIWIK_URL} would be replaced by your piwik URL and {$IDSITE} would be replaced by the idsite of the website you are tracking in piwik.

NOTE: Make sure that you remove or comment the initial pageview tracking line (_paq.push(['trackPageView']);), as shown in the code snippet above. Angulartics will track the page automatically when the first state is loaded, so this initial page track is unnecessary.

That's it! Refer to the angulartics docs for more details on the basic tracking functions.

NOTE: If Piwik does not register your routes properly, check the Page URL fragments tracking setting and enable Keep Page URL fragments when tracking Page URLs as described in Piwik's FAQs.
