AmplitudeClient

AmplitudeClient()

var amplitudeClient = new AmplitudeClient();

AmplitudeClient SDK API - instance constructor. The Amplitude class handles creation of client instances, all you need to do is call amplitude.getInstance()

AmplitudeClient#__VERSION__

var amplitudeVersion = amplitude.__VERSION__;

Get the current version of Amplitude's Javascript SDK.

Return Value

  • (number) version number

AmplitudeClient#init

amplitudeClient.init('API_KEY', 'USER_ID', {includeReferrer: true, includeUtm: true}, function() { alert('init complete'); });

Initializes the Amplitude Javascript SDK with your apiKey and any optional configurations. This is required before any other methods can be called.

Parameters

  • apiKey (string) The API key for your app.

  • opt_userId (string) (optional) An identifier for this user.

  • opt_config (object) (optional) Configuration options. See options.js for list of options and default values.

  • opt_callback (function) (optional) Provide a callback function to run after initialization is complete.

AmplitudeClient#isNewSession

Returns true if a new session was created during initialization, otherwise false.

Return Value

  • (boolean) Whether a new session was created during initialization.

AmplitudeClient#onInit

Add callbacks to call after init. Useful for users who load Amplitude through a snippet.

AmplitudeClient#getSessionId

Returns the id of the current session.

Return Value

  • (number) Id of the current session.

AmplitudeClient#setDomain

amplitudeClient.setDomain('.amplitude.com');

Sets a customer domain for the amplitude cookie. Useful if you want to support cross-subdomain tracking.

Parameters

  • domain (string) to set.

AmplitudeClient#setUserId

amplitudeClient.setUserId('joe@gmail.com');

Sets an identifier for the current user.

Parameters

  • userId (string) identifier to set. Can be null.

AmplitudeClient#setGroup

amplitudeClient.setGroup('orgId', 15); // this adds the current user to orgId 15.

Add user to a group or groups. You need to specify a groupType and groupName(s).

For example you can group people by their organization. In that case, groupType is "orgId" and groupName would be the actual ID(s). groupName can be a string or an array of strings to indicate a user in multiple gruups. You can also call setGroup multiple times with different groupTypes to track multiple types of groups (up to 5 per app).

Note: this will also set groupType: groupName as a user property. See the advanced topics article for more information.

Parameters

  • groupType (string) the group type (ex: orgId)

  • groupName (string|list) the name of the group (ex: 15), or a list of names of the groups

AmplitudeClient#setOptOut

Sets whether to opt current user out of tracking.

Parameters

  • enable (boolean) if true then no events will be logged or sent.

AmplitudeClient#regenerateDeviceId

Regenerates a new random deviceId for current user. Note: this is not recommended unless you know what you are doing. This can be used in conjunction with setUserId(null) to anonymize users after they log out. With a null userId and a completely new deviceId, the current user would appear as a brand new user in dashboard. This uses src/uuid.js to regenerate the deviceId.

AmplitudeClient#setDeviceId

amplitudeClient.setDeviceId('45f0954f-eb79-4463-ac8a-233a6f45a8f0');

Sets a custom deviceId for current user. Note: this is not recommended unless you know what you are doing (like if you have your own system for managing deviceIds). Make sure the deviceId you set is sufficiently unique (we recommend something like a UUID - see src/uuid.js for an example of how to generate) to prevent conflicts with other devices in our system.

Parameters

  • deviceId (string) custom deviceId for current user.

AmplitudeClient#setUserProperties

amplitudeClient.setUserProperties({'gender': 'female', 'sign_up_complete': true})

Sets user properties for the current user.

Parameters

  • userProperties (object) object with string keys and values for the user properties to set.

  • ` (boolean`) DEPRECATED opt_replace: in earlier versions of the JS SDK the user properties object was kept in memory and replace = true would replace the object in memory. Now the properties are no longer stored in memory, so replace is deprecated.

AmplitudeClient#clearUserProperties

amplitudeClient.clearUserProperties();

Clear all of the user properties for the current user. Note: clearing user properties is irreversible!

AmplitudeClient#setVersionName

amplitudeClient.setVersionName('1.12.3');

Set a versionName for your application.

Parameters

  • versionName (string) The version to set for your application.

AmplitudeClient#logEvent

amplitudeClient.logEvent('Clicked Homepage Button', {'finished_flow': false, 'clicks': 15});

Log an event with eventType and eventProperties

Parameters

  • eventType (string) name of event

  • eventProperties (object) (optional) an object with string keys and values for the event properties.

  • opt_callback (Amplitude~eventCallback) (optional) a callback function to run after the event is logged. Note: the server response code and response body from the event upload are passed to the callback function.

AmplitudeClient#logEventWithTimestamp

amplitudeClient.logEvent('Clicked Homepage Button', {'finished_flow': false, 'clicks': 15});

Log an event with eventType and eventProperties and a custom timestamp

Parameters

  • eventType (string) name of event

  • eventProperties (object) (optional) an object with string keys and values for the event properties.

  • timestamp (number) (optional) the custom timestamp as milliseconds since epoch.

  • opt_callback (Amplitude~eventCallback) (optional) a callback function to run after the event is logged. Note: the server response code and response body from the event upload are passed to the callback function.

AmplitudeClient#logEventWithGroups

amplitudeClient.logEventWithGroups('Clicked Button', null, {'orgId': 24});

Log an event with eventType, eventProperties, and groups. Use this to set event-level groups. Note: the group(s) set only apply for the specific event type being logged and does not persist on the user (unless you explicitly set it with setGroup).

See the advanced topics article for more information. about groups and Count by Distinct on the Amplitude platform.

Parameters

  • eventType (string) name of event

  • eventProperties (object) (optional) an object with string keys and values for the event properties.

  • groups (object) (optional) an object with string groupType: groupName values for the event being logged. groupName can be a string or an array of strings.

  • opt_callback (Amplitude~eventCallback) (optional) a callback function to run after the event is logged. Note: the server response code and response body from the event upload are passed to the callback function.

AmplitudeClient#logRevenueV2

var revenue = new amplitude.Revenue().setProductId('productIdentifier').setPrice(10.99);
amplitude.logRevenueV2(revenue);

Log revenue with Revenue interface. The new revenue interface allows for more revenue fields like revenueType and event properties.

See the Revenue reference page for more information on the Revenue interface and logging revenue.

  • revenue_obj (Revenue) the revenue object containing the revenue data being logged.

AmplitudeClient#logRevenue

amplitudeClient.logRevenue(3.99, 1, 'product_1234');
