Update plausible API client #7
Description
Hey, i just recently found analytics package https://github.com/DavidWells/analytics and as i see you implemented an plausible plugin for it.
It looks you use package plausible-tracker that is not actively maintained and have a lot of bugs, especially when used with static sites
analytics/packages/plausible/package.json
Line 34 in be91771
Some of known bugs is
There are official plausible-tracker package, it have quite few code, but have a lot of bugs like
- "enableAutoOutboundTracking breaks target="_blank" and probably noopener security" #12
- uses XHR API that loses analytics on static sites with no SPA approach (like Astro does) #16
- uses callbacks, that will not be called on localhost, that force users write code that works different locally and on production
The most bad problem is plausible-tracker is currently lost events on static sites, that makes this package is completely useless and harm for product.
I've implemented a plausible client that fix all problems https://github.com/vitonsky/plausible-client
Let's move on this solution that does work.
I actively use this solution at least in 8 my projects, there are couple static sites and it works well for me, so you may don't care about package maintenance, because I eat this food, unlike maintainers of plausible-tracker that is looks abandoned.
