How can I use the tracker in a model or service? #148

Getting undefined method `tracker'

DonSchado commented 4 years ago

hm, can you explain what you want to achieve?

at the moment the tracker is only available in the controller layer, because there you have access to the request env. The actual tracking happens by rendering the javascript tracking snippet in the view.

What do you expect to happen in a model? 🤔

I have an e-commerce flow being handled in a service and want to send data to GA

You could calculate everything needed in the service and give everything to the tracker block in the controller so that the view can render the corresponding javascript. 🤷‍♂

If you want to track directly in your services, I believe then you might want to use their API directly and not the JS Snippet.
