## Creating Metrics Events
|
|
|
|
The `metricsEvent` method is made available to all components via context. This is done in `metamask-extension/ui/app/helpers/higher-order-components/metametrics/metametrics.provider.js`. As such, it can be called in all components by first adding it to the context proptypes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
static contextTypes = {
|
|
t: PropTypes.func,
|
|
metricsEvent: PropTypes.func,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and then accessing it on `this.context`.
|
|
|
|
Below is an example of a metrics event call:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
this.context.metricsEvent({
|
|
eventOpts: {
|
|
category: 'Navigation',
|
|
action: 'Main Menu',
|
|
name: 'Switched Account',
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Base Schema
|
|
|
|
Every `metricsEvent` call is passed an object that must have an `eventOpts` property. This property is an object that itself must have three properties:
|
|
- category: categorizes events according to the schema we have set up in our matomo.org instance
|
|
- action: usually describes the page on which the event takes place, or sometimes a significant subsections of a page
|
|
- name: a very specific descriptor of the event
|
|
|
|
### Implicit properties
|
|
|
|
All metrics events send the following data when called:
|
|
- network
|
|
- environmentType
|
|
- activeCurrency
|
|
- accountType
|
|
- numberOfTokens
|
|
- numberOfAccounts
|
|
|
|
These are added to the metrics event via the metametrics provider.
|
|
|
|
### Custom Variables
|
|
|
|
Metrics events can include custom variables. These are included within the `customVariables` property that is a first-level property within first param passed to `metricsEvent`.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
```
|
|
this.context.metricsEvent({
|
|
eventOpts: {
|
|
category: 'Settings',
|
|
action: 'Custom RPC',
|
|
name: 'Error',
|
|
},
|
|
customVariables: {
|
|
networkId: newRpc,
|
|
chainId,
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Custom variables can have custom property names and values can be strings or numbers.
|
|
|
|
**To include a custom variable, there are a set of necessary steps you must take.**
|
|
|
|
1. First you must declare a constant equal to the desired name of the custom variable property in `metamask-extension/ui/app/helpers/utils/metametrics.util.js` under `//Custom Variable Declarations`
|
|
1. Then you must add that name to the `customVariableNameIdMap` declaration
|
|
1. The id must be between 1 and 5
|
|
1. There can be no more than 5 custom variables assigned ids on a given url
