For npm/yarn installations (ES6 Modules)
1. Initialize the SDK
import { WiseTrack, WTUserEnvironment, WTLogLevel } from "wisetrack";
await WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "YOUR_APP_TOKEN",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "Next.js",
userEnvironment: WTUserEnvironment.SANDBOX,
logLevel: WTLogLevel.DEBUG,
});2. Start Tracking (Optional)
// Starts automatically if `startTrackerAutomatically` is true.
// Otherwise, you can start manually:
await WiseTrack.instance.startTracking();3. Track Event
import { WTEvent } from "wisetrack";
// Default Event
const signupEvent = WTEvent.defaultEvent("signup", {
method: "Google",
});
signupEvent.addParam("method", "Google");
await WiseTrack.instance.trackEvent(signupEvent);
// Revenue Event
const purchase = WTEvent.revenueEvent(
"order_completed",
99.99,
RevenueCurrency.USD,
{
item_id: "SKU-123",
},
);
await WiseTrack.instance.trackEvent(purchase);Note: Event parameter keys and values have a maximum limit of 50 characters.

// Same usage as ES6 modulesUsing in Progressive Web Apps (PWA)
WiseTrack is fully compatible with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). However, to ensure accurate tracking and data delivery, please note:
Exclude WiseTrack API requests from Service Worker caching
If you are using workbox or a custom service-worker.js,
add this rule to avoid caching:
workbox.routing.registerRoute(
({ url }) => url.origin.includes("wisetrack.io"),
new workbox.strategies.NetworkOnly(),
);⚙️ Configuration Options

📺 Screen Tracking
WiseTrack tracks screen views in two complementary ways:
- Automatic — URL changes (history) and native
<dialog>opens are tracked out of the box. - Manual — call
trackScreen(...)for views that don't change the URL (in‑app modals, tabs, wizard steps, virtualized routes, etc.).
Both modes can run together. The SDK deduplicates same‑URL events within a short window so a manual call followed by an auto event for the same URL won't double‑count.
Quick Start (defaults)
await WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "YOUR_APP_TOKEN",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "React",
// screenTrackingConfig omitted → all auto tracking enabled
});screenTrackingConfig Options
| Key | Default | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| autoTrackScreens | true | Auto‑track URL changes (history API + hashchange + initial load). |
| autoTrackDialogs | true | Auto‑track native <dialog> opens (show() / showModal()) as modal. |
| excludedScreenPaths | [] | Exact paths or path prefixes (matched as path === ep \|\| path.startsWith(ep + "/")) to skip. |
| excludedScreenPatterns | [] | RegExp patterns matched against url.pathname to skip. |
| sensitiveQueryParams | [] | Query keys stripped from screen URL/params (merged with built‑in blocklist). |
| deduplicationWindowMs | 100 | Window in ms to dedupe identical screen URLs. |
Manual Tracking
// Simple
await WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({ name: "checkout" });
// With type, displayName, and params
await WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: "product_details",
type: "other",
displayName: "Product Details",
params: {
product_id: "p-123",
category: "shoes",
},
});WTScreenType values: other (manual/default), page (URL navigation), router (framework router), iframe, dialog.
Customizing Auto‑Tracked Screens
Use addScreenDataProvider to map URL patterns to custom screen data. Call it after init(). The callback receives the full URL object and the RegExpExecArray — use capture groups to extract dynamic segments (IDs, slugs, etc.). Patterns are tested in insertion order; first match wins. Return null/undefined to keep all defaults.
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
await WiseTrack.instance.init({ /* ... */ });
// Capture product ID from path → forward as param
WiseTrack.instance.addScreenDataProvider(
/^\/products\/(\w+)/,
(_url, match) => ({
name: "product_detail",
displayName: "Product Detail",
params: { product_id: match[1] },
}),
);
// Capture order ID
WiseTrack.instance.addScreenDataProvider(
/^\/orders\/(\w+)/,
(_url, match) => ({
name: "order_detail",
displayName: "Order Detail",
params: { order_id: match[1] },
}),
);WTScreenOverride fields — all optional; omitted fields fall back to defaults (document.title for displayName, full URL path for name, query params for params):
| Field | Type | Description |
| ------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| name | string | Overrides the auto-extracted screen name. |
| displayName | string | Overrides the default document.title label. |
| params | Record<string, WTParam>| Merged on top of auto-extracted query params. |
Excluding Routes
screenTrackingConfig: {
excludedScreenPaths: ["/admin", "/internal"], // exact or prefix (with "/")
excludedScreenPatterns: [/^\/debug(\/|$)/, /\/health/], // regex on pathname
},Native <dialog> Auto‑Tracking
The SDK patches HTMLDialogElement.prototype.show / showModal and emits a screen with type: "modal". The dialog's id, aria-labelledby, or aria-label is used to derive name and displayName.
<!-- Tracked: name = "dialog:checkout-confirm" -->
<dialog id="checkout-confirm">...</dialog>
<!-- Tracked: name = "dialog:Are you sure?" (from aria-label) -->
<dialog aria-label="Are you sure?">...</dialog>
<!-- Skipped via opt-out attribute -->
<dialog data-wt-no-track>...</dialog>To disable dialog tracking entirely:
screenTrackingConfig: {
autoTrackDialogs: false;
}Note: Only the native HTML5
<dialog>element is auto‑tracked. Custom modal components (<div role="dialog">, MUI<Dialog>, etc.) are not auto‑tracked — calltrackScreen({ name: "my_modal", type: "dialog" })manually when they open.
Disabling Auto Tracking
screenTrackingConfig: {
autoTrackScreens: false, // disable URL tracking
autoTrackDialogs: false, // disable <dialog> tracking
}
// Then track everything manually with WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen(...)Sensitive Query Params
Common keys (e.g. token, password, api_key, session_id, email) are stripped by default from both the screen URL and the auto‑extracted params. Add your own:
screenTrackingConfig: {
sensitiveQueryParams: ["auth_token", "user_email"],
}🗺️ User Journey
This section shows end‑to‑end recipes per framework: how to initialize, what auto‑tracking covers, and where to add manual trackScreen calls for views the SDK can't see (SPA modals, tabs, virtualized routes, custom modal libraries, etc.).
Vanilla JS / HTML
Auto‑tracking covers everything URL‑based out of the box. Use manual calls for in‑page state that doesn't update the URL.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/wisetrack/dist/cdn/sdk.bundle.min.js"></script>
<script>
WiseTrackSDK.WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "YOUR_APP_TOKEN",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "native",
});
// Manual: tab switch with no URL change
document.querySelector("#tab-billing").addEventListener("click", () => {
WiseTrackSDK.WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: "settings_billing",
type: "other",
displayName: "Billing",
});
});
</script>React (no router)
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
useEffect(() => {
WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "...",
clientSecret: "...",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "React",
});
}, []);
// In a custom modal component (NOT a native <dialog>):
useEffect(() => {
if (open) {
WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: "upsell_modal",
type: "dialog",
displayName: "Upsell",
});
}
}, [open]);React + React Router
pushState / replaceState are patched, so route changes auto‑track. To set type: "router" explicitly, track manually on location change and disable URL auto‑tracking.
import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
// Option A: Keep auto-tracking ON (recommended). Use addScreenDataProvider for nice names.
await WiseTrack.instance.init({ /* ... */ });
WiseTrack.instance.addScreenDataProvider(
/^\/orders\/(\d+)$/,
(_url, match) => ({ name: "order_details", params: { order_id: match[1] } }),
);
// Option B: Manual control
WiseTrack.instance.init({
// ...
screenTrackingConfig: { autoTrackScreens: false },
});
function RouteTracker() {
const location = useLocation();
useEffect(() => {
WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: location.صpathname,
type: "router",
displayName: document.title,
});
}, [location.pathname]);
return null;
}Next.js (App Router)
App Router uses pushState under the hood, so auto‑tracking works. For server‑rendered initial page loads, the initial page_load event fires from the client after hydration.
// app/layout.tsx
"use client";
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
useEffect(() => {
WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "...",
clientSecret: "...",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "Next.js",
});
}, []);
return (
<html>
<body>{children}</body>
</html>
);
}For dynamic routes, use addScreenDataProvider to collapse /products/123 and /products/456 into a single product_details screen.
Next.js (Pages Router)
// pages/_app.tsx
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { useRouter } from "next/router";
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
const router = useRouter();
useEffect(() => {
WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "...",
clientSecret: "...",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "Next.js",
screenTrackingConfig: { autoTrackScreens: false }, // we'll track via router events
});
const handle = (url: string) => {
WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: url,
type: "router",
displayName: document.title,
});
};
router.events.on("routeChangeComplete", handle);
return () => router.events.off("routeChangeComplete", handle);
}, []);
return <Component {...pageProps} />;
}Vue 3 + Vue Router
Vue Router uses the History API, so auto‑tracking already works. To set type: "router" explicitly, plug into the router and disable URL auto‑tracking.
import { createApp } from "vue";
import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from "vue-router";
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
const router = createRouter({
history: createWebHistory(),
routes: [
/* ... */
],
});
WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "...",
clientSecret: "...",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "Vue.js",
screenTrackingConfig: { autoTrackScreens: false },
});
router.afterEach((to) => {
WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: to.fullPath,
type: "router",
displayName: (to.meta?.title as string) ?? document.title,
params: {
route_name: String(to.name ?? ""),
},
});
});Nuxt 3
// plugins/wisetrack.client.ts
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "...",
clientSecret: "...",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "Nuxt",
screenTrackingConfig: { autoTrackScreens: false },
});
const router = useRouter();
router.afterEach((to) => {
WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: to.fullPath,
type: "router",
displayName: document.title,
});
});
});Angular + Angular Router
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { Router, NavigationEnd } from "@angular/router";
import { filter } from "rxjs/operators";
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
@Component({ selector: "app-root", templateUrl: "./app.component.html" })
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(private router: Router) {}
async ngOnInit() {
await WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "...",
clientSecret: "...",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "Angular",
screenTrackingConfig: { autoTrackScreens: false },
});
this.router.events
.pipe(filter((e) => e instanceof NavigationEnd))
.subscribe((e: NavigationEnd) => {
WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: e.urlAfterRedirects,
type: "router",
displayName: document.title,
});
});
}
}Svelte / SvelteKit
SvelteKit uses the History API, so auto‑tracking covers navigation. For modals or tabs, call trackScreen manually.
// src/routes/+layout.svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { onMount } from "svelte";
import { WiseTrack } from "wisetrack";
onMount(() => {
WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "...", clientSecret: "...", appVersion: "1.0.0", appFrameWork: "SvelteKit",
});
});
</script>Hash‑based Routers (older React Router v5 hash, Vue 2 hash, etc.)
hashchange is auto‑tracked — no extra wiring needed.
Modals & Dialogs
| Modal kind | Auto‑tracked? | What to do |
| ---------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Native <dialog> (.show() / .showModal()) | ✅ | Set id or aria-label for a meaningful name. Add data-wt-no-track to skip. |
| Custom React/Vue modal (<div role="dialog">) | ❌ | Call trackScreen({ name: "my_modal", type: "dialog", displayName: "..." }) when it opens. |
| MUI <Dialog>, Headless UI, Radix, Ant Design | ❌ | Same as above — track manually in the open callback. |
| Toasts / snackbars | ❌ (and shouldn't be) | Don't track — they're not screens. |
Tabs, Wizards, Virtual Routes
Anything that changes content without changing the URL is invisible to the auto tracker — track it manually:
WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: "checkout_step_2",
type: "other",
displayName: "Shipping",
});iFrames
Cross‑origin iframes can't be observed from the parent. Initialize the SDK inside the iframe document if you control it, then use type: "iframe" for clarity:
WiseTrack.instance.trackScreen({
name: window.location.pathname,
type: "iframe",
});🧹 Flush / Stop Tracking
// Stop tracking and clear stored data
WiseTrack.instance.flush();🔗 Deep Link Handling
WiseTrack SDK provides comprehensive deep link tracking and handling capabilities for attribution and user engagement.
Listening to Deep Links
Set a callback listener to receive deep link events:
import { DeeplinkHandler } from "wisetrack";
WiseTrack.instance.setOnDeeplinkListener((uri: string, isDeferred: boolean) => {
console.log("Deep link received:", uri);
console.log("Is deferred:", isDeferred);
// Handle the deep link (e.g., navigate to the URL)
if (isDeferred) {
// This is a deferred deep link (for attribution after app install)
// window.location.href = uri;
// navigate(deepLink.path);
// router.push(deepLink.path);
// or any navigation method here ...
} else {
// Regular deep link
// Handle navigation or other actions
}
});Getting Deep Links
Retrieve the last recorded deep link or deferred deep link:
// Get the last recorded deep link
const lastDeeplink = WiseTrack.instance.getLastDeeplink();
if (lastDeeplink) {
console.log("Last deeplink:", lastDeeplink);
}
// Get the deferred deep link (for attribution)
const deferredDeeplink = WiseTrack.instance.getDeferredDeeplink();
if (deferredDeeplink) {
console.log("Deferred deeplink:", deferredDeeplink);
}Disabling Deep Link Tracking
If you want to disable deep link tracking, set deeplinkEnabled to false in your initial configuration:
await WiseTrack.instance.init({
appToken: "YOUR_APP_TOKEN",
clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
appVersion: "1.0.0",
appFrameWork: "Next.js",
deeplinkEnabled: false, // Disable deep link tracking
});🔍 Log Level
Set the SDK log level for debugging:
WiseTrack.instance.setLogLevel(WTLogLevel.DEBUG);🏗️ Framework Examples
