# Client-side event tracking for Sitecore 9.x

XdbTracker is a simple API that allows you to trigger events / goals and outcomes through Javascript. The events are automatically associated to the user's current session and current page.

## Usage

``` 

// Trigger built-in "login" goal

xdbTracker.triggerEvent('{66722F52-2D13-4DCC-90FC-EA7117CF2298}');  

// Trigger built-in search event with search term as data

xdbTracker.triggerEvent('{0C179613-2073-41AB-992E-027D03D523BF}', 'my search term');

// Trigger the "Product Purchase" outcome with a monetary value

xdbTracker.triggerOutcome('{9016E456-95CB-42E9-AD58-997D6D77AE83}', 'USD', '9.99');

```

Usage is simple:

 - Create and deploy a PageEvent or Goal in Sitecore and copy it's ID

 - Trigger the event through JS using the ID as seen above

## Setup

- Reference track.min.js in your layout (its only ~380bytes) 

	``` ```

- Copy binaries and files from the [Release ZIP](https://github.com/lowedown/XdbTracker/releases/latest) folder to your webroot or integrate them into your build

## Technical details

The tiny track.min.js will POST events to the track handler /sitecore modules/web/xdbtracker/track.ashx as they are triggered. Track.ashx is session-aware and will automatically assign the events and outcomes to the current interaction and page.

Check the source code for more details.

## Compatibility

XdbTracker has been tested with Sitecore 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2. It might also work on 8.x but that has not been tested.

## FAQ

### tracker.ashx is returning "Please provide a valid EventId"

You have probably not deployed your goal/event or you have used a wrong ID.
