Extensibility of adding vars

[jissereitsma]

In the footer template (

basicrum-magento-2/view/frontend/templates/footer.phtml

Line 19 in b24f47a

["addVar", "p_type", "{$block->escapeJs($pageType)}"],

) the variables p_type and p_gen are added. Is it possible to add custom variables here as well?

If so, it would be nice to add a custom logic here for developers to insert more data. For instance, the lines could be replaced with something like the following:

<?php foreach ($block->getPageVariables() as $variableName => $variableValue): ?>
    w.BOOMR_mq.push(["addVar", "<?= $variableName ?>", "<?= $variableValue ?>"]);
<?php endforeach; ?>

And ideally the $block is actually not used for this, but a ViewModel instead (see PR #8 ).

@jissereitsma yes this will be possible. We can brainstorm on the actual implementation on the Magento 2 module side which I suppose will be a trivial conversation.

The interesting part will be how to present this data BasicRUM itself.

I am aware of 3 categories:

• Metric - example:
  • Order value, product price and so on.
• Duration - example:
  • How long it took the main product image to completely load.
• Dimension:
  • Customer group.
  • Is customer logged in: Yes/No.

We can work on the BasicRUM backoffice to handle such "arbitrary" data and display it in dashboards.
