Route data

Once the JavaScript SDK has been installed, you can configure it to send data to groups of accounts. This guide explains how to send data to specific accounts and configurations using the scope parameter.

Default routing

The JavaScript SDK contains a configure command to configure routing. For example, you can send data to a specified account using a api_token:

oa.configure('api_token');

By default, this configure command also lives in a scope -- the default scope. Therefore, the below call is the same as the one above:

oa.getScope().configure('api_token');

If you want to configure your API token in your own scope, pass a scope to the getScope() function, like this:

oa.getScope('scope').configure('api_token');

By default, all commands routed directly to oa without a call to getScope() are routed to the default scope. For example, if you want to track an event inside your custom scope, you can do so like this:

oa.getScope('myScope').track('view video');

Scopes

Namespaces are organized and bundled into a scope. A scope is required during configuration and introduces another layer of specificty when firing events.

Info

The default scope for the JavaScript SDK is $default_scope.
