FAQ:

TODO

  • Visits should be sent using a background job when possible.
  • Make sure there's a reasonable timeout. If the matomo instance goes away, it should not have a big impact on visitors, specially when not using an async runtime.
  • Make dev env more straightforward. Right now you need to go over the installation process and generate some info manually.
  • Document integration with matomo

Nice to have (for future versions):

Send a visit to matomo:

$matomoToken = '...'; // Must be admin/superuser
$matomoSiteId = '3';
$matomoUrl = 'http://shlink_matomo';

// Create a new MatomoTracker on every request, because it infers request info during construction
$tracker = new MatomoTracker($matomoSiteId, $matomoUrl);
$tracker->setTokenAuth($matomoToken);
$tracker->disableBulkTracking(); // We don't want to bulk send, as every request to Shlink will create a new tracker

$tracker
    ->setUrl('http://localhost:8800/foo') // Set absolute short URL for the visit to be tracked
    ->setCity('Zaragoza')
    ->setCountry('Spain')
    ->setRegion('Aragón')
    ->setLatitude(41.656840)
    ->setLongitude(-0.879420)
    ->setIp('1.2.3.4') // Set not obfuscated, as matomo handles obfuscation on itself
    ->setUserAgent('bar')
    ->setRequestMethodNonBulk('POST') // Ensure params are not sent in the URL, for security reasons
    ->setCustomTrackingParameter('type', VisitType::INVALID_SHORT_URL->value)
    ->setCustomTrackingParameter('orphan', 'true') // Set only for orphan visits?
    ->doTrackPageView('http://localhost:8800/foo'); // Use same short URL as action
