Avo Inspector For React Native

Avo documentation

This is a quick start guide. For more information about the Inspector project please read Avo documentation.

Installation

If you are looking for React Native library please switch to this branch and use react-native-avo-inspector npm package.

The library is distributed with npm

    npm i react-native-avo-inspector

or

    yarn add react-native-avo-inspector

Initialization

Obtain the API key at Avo.app

import * as Inspector from "react-native-avo-inspector/dist-native";

let inspector = new Inspector.AvoInspector({
  apiKey: "your api key",
  env: Inspector.AvoInspectorEnv.Dev,
  version: "1.0.0",
  appName: "My app",
});

Enabling logs

Logs are enabled by default in the dev mode and disabled in prod mode.

inspector.enableLogging(true);

Integrating with Avo Functions (Avo generated code)

The setup is lightweight and is covered in this guide.

Every event sent with Avo Function after this integration will automatically be sent to the Avo Inspector.

Sending event schemas for events reported outside of Avo Functions

Whenever you send tracking event call one of the following methods:

Read more in the Avo documentation

1.

This method gets actual tracking event parameters, extracts schema automatically and sends it to the Avo Inspector backend. It is the easiest way to use the library, just call this method at the same place you call your analytics tools' track methods with the same parameters.

inspector.trackSchemaFromEvent("Event name", {
  "String Prop": "Prop Value",
  "Float Prop": 1.0,
  "Boolean Prop": true,
});

2.

If you prefer to extract data schema manually you would use this method.

inspector.trackSchema("Event name", [
  { propertyName: "String prop", propertyType: "string" },
  { propertyName: "Float prop", propertyType: "float" },
  { propertyName: "Boolean prop", propertyType: "boolean" },
]);

Extracting event schema manually

let schema = inspector.extractSchema({
  "String Prop": "Prop Value",
  "Float Prop": 1.0,
  "Boolean Prop": true,
});

You can experiment with this method to see how more complex schemas look, for example with nested lists and objects.

Batching control

In order to ensure our SDK doesn't have a large impact on performance or battery life it supports event schemas batching.

Default batch size is 30 and default batch flush timeout is 30 seconds. In development mode batching is disabled by default.

inspector.setBatchSize(15);
inspector.setBatchFlushSeconds(10);
