AngularJS - Google Analytics embed API - ngAnalytics

[Johanna Gaßmann]

Due the problem of finding an easy way to view data from analytics oon websites or mobile Apps, we decided to build an own module based on AngularJS. 

The result is an AngularJS-Directive called nganalytics, a module that can be used on websites or mobile Apps. It makes it easy to add DataCharts or ViewSelectors and to connect both from an existing analytics-account.

Hi Johanna

Thanks for sharing your library. I've noticed there are already a bunch of libraries available for connecting AngularJS apps with Google Analytics:

• http://luisfarzati.github.io/angulartics/
  
• https://github.com/revolunet/angular-google-analytics
  
• https://github.com/panrafal/angular-ga
  

I haven't looked deeply into any of them, or your library. Did you look into any of them before deciding to write your own? If so, how does your library compare to these? I.e. why would I pick yours? :-)

Hey Daniel,

well, thanks for your post. 

Yes, we have seen the libraries. But those once you bring up, are tracking extensions. ngAnalytics is a directive, that shows already tracked data. It is a visualisation of your analytics data on websites and mobile devices. So if you need a directive for tracking your data you better go for those you found. If you need a module instead to visualize your existing data, ngAnalytics might be the right one. 

Cheers, Johanna

Johanna, thank you for clarifying. Now I see the difference clearly!

Have a nice day :-)
