Record events about goatcounter HOT 5 CLOSED

I decided to not implement this after all @duarteocarmo; I can't find a good solution for it that I like, and have been hung up on this for a few days now. I'm going to go ahead and merge the branch in a bit.

You can still add the path manually, which is not ideal but should cover the common use case; from the new docs:

I'd like to fix this in the future, but right now I'd also like to move on with other stuff and not get too hung up over this 😅

Hey there! No worries, thanks for letting me know. Appreciate all the hard work you are putting in here.
Good news from my side. I managed to compile the project, so will start playing around with it 😄

Oh this looks cool!!!

Would it support things like when a user clicks a specific link on a specific page??

from goatcounter.

Right now it re-uses the path field for the event name, so if both /a.html and /b.html has <a href=".." data-goatcounter-click="click-foo">..</a> then there's no real way to know from which page it was sent.

To be honest, I hadn't really thought about that 😅 But yeah, I see how that's useful.

I think the referrer is pretty useless for events, so we could store the path in that perhaps, or just add a new name attribute (but this would be quite a big change), or change event from a bool to a string.

I thought #215 was done, but I think I'll change that 😅 Just need to think about the best way 🤔

Sure, that sounds good. If you need some feedback do let me know!
