# Configuring Wide Angle Analytics plugin
The Wide Angle Analytics plugin must be initialized with configuration object as there are required settings without defaults.
option|description|required|default|example
------|-----------|--------|-------|-------
siteId| The Site ID from Wide Angle Site settings| :white_check_mark: | _none_ | 8D27G3B9ACA01F4241
domain| Domain hosting the script, can be found in Wide Angle Analytics Site settings | :white_check_mark: | _none_ | stats.wideangle.co
fingerprint | Should script use browser fingerprinting; this might require collecting consent depeing on the applicable laws | :x: | false | true
supressDnt | Should script ingore Do Not Track browser setting. If not enabled, not events will be sent if user's browser has DNT enabled | :x: | false | true
includeParams | An array of query parameters that can be passed as part of tracking event. By default only `utm_*` and `ref` parameters are passed in the event | :x: | `[]` | `['sessionId', 'offset']`
excludePaths | An array of URL paths that should not trigger default events such as page view, page leave | :x: | `[]` | `['^/wp-admin/.*', ]`
ignoreHash | If enabled, change in the URL fragment will not trigger page view event | :x: | false | true
You will find more details about these settings in [Wide Angle Analytics documentation](https://wideangle.co/documentation/configure-site).
Example:
```javascript
import WideAngle from 'wideangle-vue'
const app = createApp(App);
app.use(WideAngle, {
siteId: "8D27G3B9ACA01F4241",
domain: "stats.example.com",
fingerprint: true,
supressDnt: true
});
```
# Usage
The Wide Angle Analytics provides an instance of `waa` which can be then injected to your component.
```javascript
import { inject } from 'vue'
const waa = inject('waa');
```
You will find a fully functional example in this [repository](sample/vue-sample).
## Tracking Pageviews
No action necessary. The tracker script automatically issues **Page View** and **Page Leave** events.
## Tracking Events
Wide Angle supports three specialized events:
* clicks
* downloads
* custom actions
Site has to have these event enable in Wide Angle Analytics configuration prior to usage. Otherwise the tracker script will not sent these events. Consult [official documentation](https://wideangle.co/documentation/tracking-custom-actions) regarding how to enable event handling.
### Tracking Clicks
Currently **Click Events** are [emitted automatically](https://wideangle.co/documentation/tracking-click-events) based on element data attributes.
### Tracking Downloads
Depending on the configured mode, the **Download Event** will fire automatically when either:
* a file with recognized extension is being downloaded, or
* when a link is marked with `data-waa-name` attribute.
### Tracking Custom Actions
Custom action are the most flexible and can be triggered directly from Vue components. As such their usage is not limitted due to Shadow DOM.
Example:
```vue
Send Event
import { inject } from 'vue'
const waa = inject('waa');
const sendEvent = async () => {
const params = {
session: 'cjhw92nf9aq',
cohort: 'c1233'
}
waa.value.dispatchEvent('interest', params);
}
```
