TrackingPixel - A component for (hidden) tracking pixels.

Installation

Install this package with npm.

npm i @phntms/ft-react-components

Usage

FTTracker

Add the provider to _app.tsx, pass the site's page content to PageViewData

import { FTTrackerProvider } from "@phntms/ft-react-components";
.
.
.
return (
<FTTrackerProvider>
    <PageViewData pageProps={pageProps} />
    <Component {...pageProps} />;
  </FTTrackerProvider>
)

Construct the pageViewData object from the site content data. use setPageViewData and setTrackingOptions to update the tracker provider. See the Phantom FT partner tracking implementation guide for the full config object schema. TODO - consider moving to this lib with empty/default values and adding Yup validation to console error/eslint when incomplete.

import { useFTTracker, TrackingOptions, ConfigType } from "@phntms/ft-react-components";
.
.
const { setPageViewData, setTrackingOptions } = useFTTracker();

 useEffect(() => {
    const globals = pageProps.globals;
    const article = pageProps.article;
    const category = pageProps.category;

    setTrackingOptions({
      scrollTrackerSelector: "#o_tracker_scroll",
      isCustomGTMEvent: true,
      sendGTMPageViewYN: true,
    });

      const errorValue = "404";
    if (!setPageViewData) return;
    setPageViewData({
      advertiserIndustry: (globals && globals.sitewide.industry) || errorValue,
      app:
        (article && article.content_type) ||
        (globals && globals.sitewide.homepage_label) ||
        errorValue,
      articleName:
        (article && article.title) ||
        (globals && globals.sitewide.homepage_label) ||
        errorValue,
      author:
      .
      .
      .
      } as ConfigType);
    }, [pageProps]);

Video tracking

Video event tracking is handled by the videoTracker instance available from the useFTTracker hook. It is currently only compatible with react-player implementations which is the current standard player implementation for Phantom NextJS sites.

import { useFTTracker } from "@phntms/ft-react-components";
import ReactPlayer from "react-player";
.
.
const { videoTracker } = useFTTracker();
.
.
<ReactPlayer
  controls
  height="100%"
  style={{ position: "absolute", top: 0, left: 0 }}
  onDuration={videoTracker?.setDuration}
  onEnded={videoTracker?.trackEnded}
  onPause={videoTracker?.trackPause}
  onPlay={videoTracker?.trackPlay}
  onProgress={videoTracker?.trackProgress}
  width="100%"
  url={fileToURL(article.video)}
  light={fileToURL(article.image)}
  playIcon={<PlayIconCircle />}
  onClick={handlePlayButtonClick}
/>

PermutiveSetup

Loads the external permutive scripts, requires Permutive project specific IDs (environment variables) - add to the sites' _document.tsx

import { PermutiveSetup } from "@phntms/ft-react-components";
.
.
// Permutive tracking
const PERMUTIVE_PROJECT_ID = process.env.PERMUTIVE_PROJECT_ID || "";
const PERMUTIVE_PUBLIC_API_KEY = process.env.PERMUTIVE_PUBLIC_API_KEY || "";
.
.
render() {
    return (
      <Html lang="en">
        <Head>
          <FontPreloadEmbed />
          <FaviconEmbed />
          <TrackingHeadScript id={GA_TRACKING_ID} />
          <PermutiveSetup
            projectID={PERMUTIVE_PROJECT_ID}
            publicAPIKey={PERMUTIVE_PUBLIC_API_KEY}
          />
.
.

FTCookieMessage, FTFooter, FTHeader, FTPartnerContent reuseable components

Render in an appropriate page level component. FTPartnerContent requires 3 props as below to display the site's required partner links. It has optional disclaimer (controls the on/off tooltip state) and author (determines 1 of 4 tooltip texts) props.

import {
  CookieMessage,
  FTHeader,
  FTFooter,
  FTPartnerContent,
} from "@phntms/ft-react-components";
.
.
  <Container>
        <FTHeader />
        <FTPartnerContent
          siteUrl={globals.sitewide.url}
          siteTitle={globals.sitewide.title}
          partner={{
            title: "Zurich",
            url: "https://www.zurich.com/",
          }}
        />
        {showHero && <CategoryHero />}
        <Navbar categories={globals.categories} selected={category} />
        <div id="o_tracker_scroll">{children}</div>
        <CookieMessage />
        <FTFooter />
      </Container>

Reuseable component styles and icons

NOTE: all 4 components rely on a single global .scss styles file, which needs to be loaded in _app.tsx as a global import:

//load combined FT components styles as global
import "@phntms/ft-react-components/src/components/ft/styles/app.scss";

Additionally, some the components use styling from the @financial-times root components, so adding a node_modules sass path to NextJS's next.config.js is required:

module.exports = {
  //other config
  sassOptions: {
    includePaths: [
      // Required by the @financial-times/o-<component> sass
      path.resolve(__dirname, "./node_modules/@financial-times"),
    ],
  },
};

Currently, the partner header icons need to be copied to the NextJS sites' /public/ft/partner-content folder

BrandmetricsSurvey

Implements the placeholder div and initialisation for Brandmetrics surveys. NOTE: Surveys also require the separate Brandmetrics external CDN script to be loaded and available on window.

import { BrandMetricsSurvey } from "@phntms/ft-react-components";
.
.
{article.brandmetrics_survey_id && (
  <BrandMetricsSurvey surveyId={article.brandmetrics_survey_id}
  />
)}

TrackingPixel

Renders an img with with display:hidden and height:0

import { TrackingPixel } from "@phntms/ft-react-components";
.
.
{article.brandmetrics_pixel_url && (
  <TrackingPixel src={article.brandmetrics_pixel_url} />
)}
