Angular Installation

Installing TrackFox on your Angular website is straightforward. You can use our CLI for automatic installation or manually add the tracking script to your index.html.

Quick Install with CLI

The fastest way to get started is using the TrackFox CLI:

npx trackfox add

The CLI will automatically detect your Angular setup and install the tracking script in the right place. Learn more →

Manual Installation

Step 1: Get Your Tracking Script

  1. Log in to your TrackFox dashboard
  2. Click on the website dropdown in the top navigation
  3. Select "Site Settings" from the dropdown menu
  4. In the General tab, copy your unique tracking script

Your tracking script will look like this:

<script
  defer
  src="https://trackfox.app/script.js"
  data-website-id="your-website-id-here"
  data-domain="yourdomain.com"
></script>

Step 2: Add Script to index.html

Navigate to src/index.html and add the tracking script inside the <head> tag:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Your Angular App</title>
    <base href="/" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />

    <!-- TrackFox Analytics -->
    <script
      defer
      src="https://trackfox.app/script.js"
      data-website-id="your-website-id-here"
      data-domain="yourdomain.com"
    ></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <app-root></app-root>
  </body>
</html>

Step 3: Verify Installation

  1. Save your changes and restart your Angular development server
  2. Visit your website in a browser
  3. Return to your TrackFox dashboard
  4. Use the "Verify Installation" button in Site Settings
  5. Confirm that page views are being tracked in your dashboard

Custom Event Tracking

Once the base script is installed, you can track custom events:

import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  selector: "app-signup",
  templateUrl: "./signup.component.html",
})
export class SignupComponent {
  trackSignup(): void {
    (window as any)?.trackfox("signup", {
      email: "user@example.com",
    });
  }

  trackPurchase(amount: number, email: string): void {
    (window as any)?.trackfox("payment", {
      email: email,
      amnt: amount, // Amount in cents
    });
  }
}

Environment Variables

Add your TrackFox configuration to src/environments/environment.ts:

export const environment = {
  production: false,
  trackfox: {
    websiteId: "your_website_id",
    domain: "your_domain.com",
  },
};

And for production in src/environments/environment.prod.ts:

export const environment = {
  production: true,
  trackfox: {
    websiteId: "your_website_id",
    domain: "your_domain.com",
  },
};

Then use them in your index.html or create a service:

// src/app/services/analytics.service.ts
import { Injectable } from "@angular/core";
import { environment } from "../../environments/environment";

declare global {
  interface Window {
    trackfox: (action: string, ...args: any[]) => void;
  }
}

@Injectable({
  providedIn: "root",
})
export class AnalyticsService {
  trackEvent(eventName: string, data?: any): void {
    if (typeof window !== "undefined" && window.trackfox) {
      window.trackfox(eventName, data);
    }
  }

  trackPayment(email: string, amount: number): void {
    this.trackEvent("payment", {
      email: email,
      amnt: amount, // Amount in cents
    });
  }

  trackSignup(email: string): void {
    this.trackEvent("signup", { email });
  }
}

TypeScript Support

Add type definitions for better TypeScript support:

// src/types/window.d.ts
declare global {
  interface Window {
    trackfox: (action: string, ...args: any[]) => void;
  }
}

export {};

Testing

Test your installation by:

  1. Opening your website in a browser
  2. Checking the Network tab for requests to trackfox.app
  3. Verifying data appears in your TrackFox dashboard

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

  • Script not loading: Check your website ID and domain configuration
  • No data appearing: Ensure the script is loaded before page navigation
  • TypeScript errors: Add the type definitions above

Important Notes

Important: Make sure to replace your-website-id-here and yourdomain.com with your actual website ID and domain from the TrackFox dashboard.
