Adds a new script extension that allows tracking interactions with specific HTML elements on a website. For example - to track link clicks on one specific `<a>` element, you can tag it like this:
```html
<a href=... class="plausible-event-name=<your_event_name>">
```
And you can also tag the link with custom property names and values:
```html
<a href=... class="plausible-event-name=<your_event_name> plausible-event-<your_custom_prop>=<your_value>">
```
Tagging a link as above will send a custom event with the given name and props, if a `click` or `auxclick` browser event happens, and targets the link element.
The tracking behavior is somewhat different based on the HTML element type:
- `<a>`
- triggers on `click` and `auxclick` events
- intercepts navigation based on the same rules as `outbound-links` and `file-downloads`
- `<form>`
- triggers on `submit` event
- always intercepts navigation (calls `form.submit()` after preventing default and sending the Plausible event)
- other (`<img>`, `<button>`, `<span>`, `<div>`, `<h2>`, etc ...)
- triggers on `click` and `auxclick` events
- does not prevent default to intercept possible navigation. Simply calls Plausible with the event name and props read from the element class list.
* moved custom event code to the bottom + fix indentation
* add handlebars helper fn + extract getLinkEl fn
* extract isOutboundLink function
* extract shouldFollowLink function
* remove middle and click variables
* use only one click handler for outbounds and downloads
* extract sendLinkClickEvent function
* add error handling when script compilation fails
* use callback instead of fixed timeout
* do not prevent default if externally prevented + test
* add more tests
* generate tracker files in priv/tracker/js
* update changelog
* requested changes after review
* regenerate tracker files
* use return instead of else if
* move middleMouseButton outside the function
* Adds data-exclude support and plausible_ignore support
* Splits exclusion into separate script option
* localStorage parsing upgrades
* Additional script type additions
I'm unsure about the formatting decision in tracker.ex - lmk.
* Adds new compiled files
This will certainly have conflicts with my other PRs related to the tracking scripts right now, I'll make one extra PR after both are done to ensure they're consolidated into the compiled scripts.
* Moves localStorage blocker out of special script
* Changelog
* Second thoughts on localStorage exclusion
* Updates `*` to not match `/` or whitespace
* Fix formatting
* Removes zero-length asterisks
* Adds support for double glob, zero-length replacements
* Update to reduce size+allow localStorage exclude
