usePressEventTracker

Returns a ready-to-trigger trackPressEvent by retrieving ReactNativeTracker instance and LocationStack automatically.

usePressEventTracker = (
  hookParameters: {
    tracker?: Tracker,
    locationStack?: LocationStack,
    globalContexts?: GlobalContexts
  } = {}
) => (
  callbackParameters: {
    tracker?: Tracker,
    locationStack?: LocationStack,
    globalContexts?: GlobalContexts
  } = {}
) => Promise<TrackerEvent>

Parameters​

The hook and callback share tracker, locationStack and globalContexts parameters.

This allows composing the Event's payload by combining parameters provided to the hook and/or the callback:

  • tracker: Custom tracker instance. By default, useTracker() is used, which can be overridden by providing this parameter to the hook, or later to the callback. If both hook and callback have tracker parameters, the callback takes precedence.

  • locationStack: The callback and hook LocationStack are merged with the result of useLocationStack(). This allows to combine the LocationStack of parent components with the virtual Locations provided to either the hook or callback, or both.

  • globalContexts: The callback and hook GlobalContexts items are simply merged together.

A callback with the same parameters of the hook itself.

Usage​

Scenario: declaratively wrapping a third party download button
import { PressableContextWrapper, usePressEventTracker } from "@objectiv/tracker-react-native";

const trackPressEvent = usePressEventTracker();

<PressableContextWrapper id={'pressable'}>
  <DownloadButton
    onClick={() => {
      trackPressEvent();
    }}
  >
    Download
  </DownloadButton>
</PressableContextWrapper>
Scenario: virtual location wrapper
import { makePressableContext } from "@objectiv/tracker-core";
import { usePressEventTracker } from "@objectiv/tracker-react-native";

const trackPressEvent = usePressEventTracker();

<ContextualMenu
  onMenuItemPress={(menuItem) => {
    trackPressEvent({
      // Wrap this event in a virtual location representing the pressed menu item
      locationStack: [
        makePressableContext({
          id: menuItem.id
        })
      ]
    });
  }}
