README

This package provides a blade view with the script tag for plausible and a wrapper to easily send custom events to Plausible.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require vincentbean/laravel-plausible

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="VincentBean\Plausible\LaravelPlausibleServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Add the following to your env:

PLAUSIBLE_TRACKING_DOMAIN=DOMAIN_YOU_WANT_TO_TRACK
PLAUSIBLE_DOMAIN=OPTIONAL_IF_SELF_HOSTING

Usage

This package supports both client side and server side tracking.

Client Side Tracking

Include the component in your layout to add the plausible script, with optional tracking extensions.

<x-plausible::tracking />
or
<x-plausible::tracking extensions="hash, outbound-links, etc.." />

Plausible will be available on the window object for sending custom events via Javascript:

plausible('event')

Server Side Tracking

Track pageviews server side using middleware.

// app/Http/Kernel.php
    'web' => [
        // Add this middleware to the web group to track globally
        \VincentBean\Plausible\Middleware\TrackPlausiblePageviews::class,
    ],

Custom Events

You can trigger custom events on the server.

\VincentBean\Plausible\Events\PlausibleEvent::fire('custom event', ['country' => 'netherlands']);

If firing your event from a queued job or event listener, it might be necessary to pass on the user's ip and user-agent string which are used by Plausible to generate user session ID's.

\VincentBean\Plausible\Events\PlausibleEvent::fire('custom event', ['country' => 'netherlands'], headers: [
    'X-Forwarded-For' => $event->userIp,
    'user-agent' => $event->userAgent
]);
