README

This package provides a simple way to add telemetry tracking to your WordPress plugin. It sends weekly reports to your server with information about the plugin's usage.

Usage

1. Installation

Install the package using composer:

composer require bitapps/wp-telemetry

2. Create a Telemetry Client

Initialize the telemetry client in your plugin's bootstrap file.

function initialize_telemetry_client()
{
  TelemetryConfig::setTitle($title);
  TelemetryConfig::setSlug($plugin_slug);
  TelemetryConfig::setPrefix($plugin_prefix);
  TelemetryConfig::setVersion($plugin_version);

  TelemetryConfig::setServerBaseUrl( 'https://api.example.com/' );
  TelemetryConfig::setTermsUrl( 'https://example.com/terms/' ); // (optional)
  TelemetryConfig::setPolicyUrl( 'https://example.com/privacy/' ); // (optional)

  Telemetry::report()->init(); // initialize telemetry tracking
  Telemetry::feedback()->init(); // initialize deactivation feedback survey
}

initialize_telemetry_client();

You are good to go! 👍️

The telemetry client will start sending data weekly to your configured server url.
