Examples
Tracking a category view event
In this example we are grabbing the category from the URL and passing it into the trackCategoryView() function.
// Import the integration from the 'installation' step
import { integration } from './xgenSdkIntegration';
// Extracting the category from the URL using regex (grabs the last item in the path)
const category = /\/(?<category>[^/]+)\/?$/.exec(location.pathname)?.groups?.category;
// Send the category view event
integration.trackCategoryView(category);
