Installation

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics

If you get an error about CocoaPods being unable to find compatible versions, run

$ pod repo update

Plugin depends on cordova-support-google-services for setting up google services properly. Please read the README carefully in order to avoid common issues with a project configuration.

Use variables ANDROID_FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_VERSION or IOS_FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_VERSION to override dependency versions for Firebase SDKs.

NOTE: on iOS in order to collect demographic, age, gender data etc. you should additionally include AdSupport.framework into your project.

Disable analytics data collection

In some cases, you may wish to temporarily or permanently disable collection of Analytics data. You can set the value of variable FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED to false to prevent collecting any user data:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics --variable FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED=false

Later you can re-enable analytics data collection (for instance after getting end-user consent) using method setEnabled.

Methods

Every method returns a promise that fulfills when a call was successful.

logEvent(name, params)

Logs an app event.

cordova.plugins.firebase.analytics.logEvent("my_event", {param1: "value1"});

Be aware of automatically collected events.

setUserId(id)

Sets the user ID property.

cordova.plugins.firebase.analytics.setUserId("12345");

This feature must be used in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

cordova.plugins.firebase.analytics.setUserProperty("name1", "value1");

Be aware of automatically collected user properties.

setCurrentScreen(name)

Sets whether analytics collection is enabled for this app on this device.

cordova.plugins.firebase.analytics.setEnabled(false);
