mateffy/pan-analytics-viewer

A tiny Laravel package to view your panphp/pan analytics directly in the UI where they are triggered!

Installation

composer require mateffy/pan-analytics-viewer

Usage

To add the popups to your app, all you have to do is include the pan-analytics::viewer component in your blade template:

{{--    Make sure to verify who has access! 
        Including this component will expose your analytics data!    --}}

@if (auth()->user()?->email === 'admin@example.com')
    <x-pan-analytics::viewer />
@endif

The popups should now be appearing when hovering over elements that have a [data-pan] attribute.

Options

You can pass options to the component to change the default behavior:

<x-pan-analytics::viewer
    :toggle="true"
    :events="['my-event-1', 'my-event-2']"
    :force-all="true"
/>

Option	Description	Default
toggle	Whether to show a toggle button to show/hide the popups	false
events	Specify the events that should be fetched.	null
force‑all	Force all events to get fetched, may be required when dynamically creating tracked elements.	false

Events

The package will automatically detect what events are being tracked on the current page by querying for data-pan attributes. If you are dynamically creating tracked elements after initial render, these may be missed and no popup will be shown.

To fix this, you can either specify the specific events you want to show on the page or use the force-all option to disable filtering and fetch all events.

Security

The package registers a route for the client to be able to access the data. This route required a valid URL signature to be able to access it, which the pan-analytics::viewer component will automatically generate (signed URLs are valid for 1h). If you include this component on a page that is publicly accessible and don't check the user before including the component, anyone can access the analytics data!

So, make sure to only render this component for users with the necessary permissions.

@if (auth()->user()?->email === 'admin@example.com')
    <x-pan-analytics::viewer />
@endif

{{-- or --}}

@if (auth()->user()?->can('view-analytics'))
    <x-pan-analytics::viewer />
@endif

Tippy.js

This package uses Tippy.js to create the popups. tippy.js is included via unpkg.com like this, but only when the component is rendered:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@popperjs/core@2"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/tippy.js@6"></script>

Configuration

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mateffy\PanAnalyticsViewer\PanAnalyticsViewerServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the default configuration:

return [
    'endpoint' => env('PAN_ANALYTICS_ENDPOINT', '/pan/viewer')
];

Endpoint

You can change the URL that the analytics are being exposed on by changing the PAN_ANALYTICS_ENDPOINT environment variable or customizing the endpoint config key. The default URL is example.com/pan/viewer.
