API

omni(namespace)

Omni is the main function that returns the instance of the Omniture tracker object.

var s = omni("namespace");

It sets s_account variable of Omniture.

It also creates Visitor object with additional "Visitor" suffix. Then your Visitor namespace will be "namespaceVisitor"

setOption(key, value) or set

It sets the option and the value of a Omniture variable.

s.set("pageName", "My Project");

getOption(key) or get

It gets a defined Omniture variable.

console.log(s.get("pageName")); //=> "My Project"

setVisitorOption(key, value)

Sets a value for Visitor instance that created at the construction.

setSeqParam(key, sequence, value)

Sets a sequenced parameter. Used for eVar, prop or hier

s.setSeqParam("eVar", 1, "hello");
console.log(s.get("eVar1")); //=> "hello"

setEVar(id, value) or evar

Shortcut for eVar setting. Simply makes a setSeqParam with currying.

s.setEVar(1, "hello"); // same with `s.evar(1, "hello")`
console.log(s.get("eVar1")); //=> "hello"

You can also use same pattern with setHier (alias: hier()) and setProp (alias: prop()):

route(route, callback)

It registers a route to router stack to match and run by run method.

s.route("index.html", function () {
  this.set("pageName", "Index Page");    
});

s.route("about.html", function () {
  this.set("pageName", "About Page");    
});

s.run(); //=> This is required to find routes.

run()

It searches for the current location and runs the matching function. So you can define analytics for each page in one JavaScript file.

preset(name, args...)

This uses Adobe Omniture's preset events. These are generally about content for an ecommerce site.

Built in Presets:

  • purchase
  • product
  • products
s.preset("purchase", [
  {category: "Running", product: "Shoe", "price": 10.99}    
]);

Chaining

You can chain every method after creating the omniture object.

var s = omni("hello").set("pageName", "hello").push();

Sending Async Tracking Data

You can also send async data to Omniture. To do that, use push method. It can be used after ajax calls or something.

s.evar(1, "hello").push();

Advanced API

These are for contribution or advanced customizing.

Define Presets

You can define custom presets. Just add a method with a Event suffix.

Omniture.prototype.customeventEvent = function (data) {
  console.log(data);
};

s.preset("customevent", data);

Serialize Objects for Omniture

Omniture uses a special serialization method. You can serialize your datausing serialize function.

var ser = s.serialize("custom", [
    {a: 1, b: 2, events: {1: "hello"}},
    {a: 3, b: 4}],
"a,b");
console.log(ser.events); //=> "custom,event1"
console.log(ser.list); //=> "1;2;event1=hello,3;4"
