##Honeycomb

Paste the following snippet into your javascript file to set up tracking for your website. Alternatively, nest it between <script> tags </script>, and paste it right before the closing </body> tag of any pages you want to track.

“‘ <script> var unique_key = <insert unique key here> var endpoint = “localhost:3000/api/v1/events”

var honeycomb = function(event_name, label, value) {

var honey_event = {
  'event':
  {
    name: event_name,
    property_1: label,
    property_2: value,
    url: window.location.href
  },
  unique_key: unique_key
}
var honey_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    honey_request.open("POST", endpoint, true);
    honey_request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
    honey_request.onreadystatechange = function() {

    };
    honey_request.send(JSON.stringify(honey_event));

}; honeycomb(“pageview”); </script> “‘ Make sure you replace “<insert unique key here>” with the one assigned to you when you [sign up](localhost:3000/users/sign_up)!

Also: Paste this snippet directly into an HTML element to track clicks (like in a link, in the example below): “‘ <a href=“#” onClick=“honeycomb(’click’, ‘video’, ‘play’);”>Play Video</a>

“‘ The first parameter (’Click’) refers to the event action or category, and the other two (‘Video’ and ‘Play’) are optional custom properties. Rename these to describe the context/thing being clicked, or whatever makes sense for you.
