# nanobeacon [![stability][0]][1]
[![npm version][2]][3] [![build status][4]][5]
[![downloads][8]][9] [![js-standard-style][10]][11]

Small `navigator.sendBeacon` wrapper. Sends an HTTP request with priority
`lowest` to a remote host, and ensures it arrives without blocking page
navigation. Useful for sending analytics data.

Also a friendly reminder not to ever store people's IP addresses. Only store
the minimum amount of data needed to inform decisions. Be kind, don't give
analytics a bad name.

## Usage
```js
var nanobeacon = require('nanobeacon')

var url = 'http://jsfiddle.net?sendbeacon'
var ok = nanobeacon(url, { hello: 'world' })

var msg = ok ? 'OK' : 'NOT OK'
document.body.innerHTML = '

message status: ' + msg + '

'
```

## API
### `ok = nanobeacon(url, [data])`
Send a request with a payload to a remote host.

If user has enabled Do Not Track (`window.navigator.doNotTrack`) then no beacon will be sent and nanobeacon will return `false`.
