AngularJS web analytics (heat mapping, session playback, etc)

[Glenn Anthony]

Hi,

Our marketing/brands peeps love Clicktale, but I'm having trouble getting it working with ng-view.

I've looked at Mouseflow (blank screens during session playback) and caliper.io (promising, but AngularJS support is pending).

Is anybody using a web analytics tool (not GA) with AngularJS, and if so, which one?

Thanks

Hi Glenn,

You might try sessioncam.  It appears to work with angular.  Let me know how it goes.

Best,

David

Hi David,

It works!  Some weirdness with iOS, but I'll speak to SessionCam to see if I we can get that resolved.

I was starting to panic at the thought of angry marketing people being upset that I'd used AngularJS.

I even went so far as to build a rudimentary click/movement tracker using a MEAN stack and heatmap.js, but this is much better.

Thanks for the tip.

iOS problem sorted itself, so all good.

If anybody is interested...

SessionCam seems to work very well with AngularJS, however, to handle route changes (so not everything is recorded under a single URL), you need to notify SessionCam using virtual page loads

I stuck the code in a $routeChangeSuccess event, which seemed to work.
