The build script (bin/build.sh) can be used to configure several aspects of the SDK:
The global export that the SDK is exported on. This is kept consistent between the full source and the loader's stub.
> bin/build.sh --GLOBAL=AlternateSDKvar sdk = new AlternateSDK()The filename to be output, in both full and minified code. This is largely a convenience, and defaults to td

npm install --save td-js-sdkExports Treasure class using CommonJS. The entry point is lib/treasure.js. Usable with a build tool such as Browserify or Webpack.
var Treasure = require('td-js-sdk')Log in to Treasure Data and go to your profile. The API key should show up right next to your full-access key.
⚠️ NOTE: From the version 4.0, we will use our new JavaScript endpoint to log data. This new behavior requires configuration changes, see Streaming Ingestion for more information.
Our library works by creating an instance per database, and sending data into tables.
First install the library using any of the ways provided above.
After installing, initializing it is as simple as:
var foo = new Treasure({
database: 'foo',
writeKey: 'your_write_only_key'
});If you're an administrator, databases will automatically be created for you. Otherwise you'll need to ask an administrator to create the database and grant you import only or full access on it, otherwise you will be unable to send events.
// Configure an instance for your database
var company = new Treasure({...});
// Create a data object with the properties you want to send
var sale = {
itemId: 101,
saleId: 10,
userId: 1
};
// Send it to the 'sales' table
company.addRecord('sales', sale);Send as many events as you like. Each event will fire off asynchronously.
td-js-sdk provides a way to track page impressions and events, as well as client information.
Each client requires a uuid. It may be set explicitly by setting clientId on the configuration object. Otherwise we search the cookies for a previously set uuid. If unable to find one, a uuid will be generated.
A cookie is set in order to track the client across sessions.
Tracking page impressions is as easy as:
/* insert javascript snippet */
var td = new Treasure({...});
td.trackPageview('pageviews');This will send all the tracked information to the pageviews table.
In addition to tracking pageviews, you can track events. The syntax is similar to addRecord, with the difference being that trackEvent will include all the tracked information.
var td = new Treasure({});
var buttonEvent1 = function () {
td.trackEvent('button', {
number: 1
});
// doButtonEvent(1);
};
var buttonEvent2 = function () {
td.trackEvent('button', {
number: 2
});
// doButtonEvent(2);
};Every time a track functions is called, the following information is sent:
- td_version - td-js-sdk's version
- td_client_id - client's uuid*
- td_charset - character set
- td_description - description meta tag
- td_language - browser language
- td_color - screen color depth
- td_screen - screen resolution
- td_viewport - viewport size
- td_title - document title
- td_url - document url
- td_user_agent - browser user agent
- td_platform - browser platform
- td_host - document host
- td_path - document pathname
- td_referrer - document referrer
The following information will be populated by server-side
- td_ip - request IP (server)*. This information is only populated when
td_global_idis enabled usingtd.set('$global', 'td_global_id', 'td_global_id')and is in signed mode.
Certain values cannot be obtained from the browser. For these values, we send matching keys and values, and the server replaces the values upon receipt. For examples: {"td_ip": "td_ip"} is sent by the browser, and the server will update it to something like {"td_ip": "1.2.3.4"}
All server values except td_ip are found by parsing the user-agent string. This is done server-side to ensure that it can be kept up to date.
* This is a personally identifiable column, and will be affected by whether or not the user is in Signed or Anonymous Mode.
Set default values on a table by using Treasure#set. Set default values on all tables by passing $global as the table name.
Using Treasure#get you can view all global properties by passing the table name $global.
When a record is sent, an empty record object is created and properties are applied to it in the following order:
$globalproperties are applied torecordobject- Table properties are applied to
recordobject, overwriting$globalproperties - Record properties passed to
addRecordfunction are applied torecordobject, overwriting table properties
Treasure Data's SDK enables compliance with many common requirements of the EU's GDPR laws. Several methods have been enabled to help you comply with newer and more stringent data privacy policies:
blockEvents/unblockEvents- non-argument methods to shut down or re-enable all sending of events to Treasure Data. No messages will be sent, no calls will be cached. Default is for events to be unblocked. See documentation around these methods:blockEvents,unblockEvents,areEventsBlockedsetSignedMode- non-argument method to enter "Signed Mode", where some PII may be collected automatically by the SDK. The data sent to Treasure Data will includetd_ip,td_client_id, andtd_global_id, if specified. See documentation around this method:setSignedModesetAnonymousMode- non-argument method to enter "Anonymous Mode", where PII will not be collected automatically by the SDK. These data will specifically omittd_ip,td_client_id, andtd_global_id, if specified. This is the default behavior. See documentation around this method:setAnonymousModeresetUUID- method to reset thetd_client_idvalue. This will overwrite the original value stored on the user's cookie, and will likely appear in your data as a brand-new user. It's possible to specify a client ID while resetting, as well as custom expiration times by passing in appropriate values. See documentation around this method:resetUUID
A new configuration property has also been added: config.startInSignedMode. This configuration option tells the SDK that, if no express decision has been made on whether the user wants to be in Signed or Anonymous modes, it should default into Signed Mode. The default behavior is to default the user into Anonymous Mode.
Suppose a user first accesses your site, and you need to know if they have agreed to tracking for marketing purposes. You contract with a Consent Management Vendor to maintain this information, and want to set appropriate values once you know their consent information.
var foo = new Treasure({
database: 'foo',
writeKey: 'your_write_only_key'
});
td.trackClicks()
var successConsentCallback = function (consented) {
if (consented) {
td.setSignedMode()
} else {
td.setAnonymousMode()
}
}
var failureConsentCallback = function () {
// error occurred, consent unknown
td.setAnonymousMode()
}
ConsentManagementVendor.getConsent(userId, successConsentCallback, failureConsentCallback)In this scenario, the Consent Management Vendor returns a true or false value in the callback based on whether or not the user associated with the userId has consented to their PII being used for marketing purposes. Non-PII data may still be collected.
Now suppose your Consent Management Vendor provides strings based on the consent level: MARKETING, NON-MARKETING, REFUSED, for "Consented to PII being used for marketing purposes", "Consented to data being collected for non-marketing purposes", and "Refused all data collection". There's only a minor change to make in the successConsentCallback:
var successConsentCallback = function (consented) {
if (consented === 'MARKETING') {
td.unblockEvents()
td.setSignedMode()
} else if (consented === 'NON-MARKETING') {
td.unblockEvents()
td.setAnonymousMode()
} else if (consented === 'REFUSED') {
td.blockEvents()
}
}This way, when emerging from Signed or Anonymous mode, you can be sure you'll actually be collecting data in Treasure Data. If the customer has refused all tracking, their events are blocked, and this status will be persisted across page refreshes.
⚠️ WARNING: If you see the warnings aboutSameSitecookies in Chrome or Firefox, please upgrade the TreasureData JS SDK to version of at least2.4.2
In recent releases of Chrome and Firefox, they begin enforcing a new secure-by-default cookie classification system, treating cookies that have no declared SameSite value as SameSite=Lax cookies. Only cookies set as SameSite=None; Secure will be available in third-party contexts, provided they are being accessed from secure connections.
This affects the td_client_id and td_global_id cookies in previous versions of TreasureData JS SDK (< 2.4.2) as they are not set as secured cookies.
Starting from version 2.4.2, TreasureData JS SDK uses SameSite=None; Secure cookies as default to adapt the new cookie enforcement.
For more information:
Firefox:

SameSite Cookie Changes in February 2020: What You Need to Know
Creates a new Treasure logger instance. If the database does not exist and you have permissions, it will be created for you.
Parameters:
- config : Object (required) - instance configuration

- config.database : String (required) - database name, must consist only of lower case letters, numbers, and
_, must be longer than or equal to 3 chars, and the total length of database and table must be shorter than 129 chars. - config.writeKey : String (required) - write-only key, get it from your user profile
- config.pathname : String (optional) - path to append after host. Default:
/js/v3/event - config.host : String (optional) - host to which events get sent. Default:
in.treasuredata.com - config.development : Boolean (optional) - triggers development mode which causes requests to be logged and not get sent. Default:
false - config.logging : Boolean (optional) - enable or disable logging. Default:
true - config.globalIdCookie : String (optional) - cookie td_globalid name. Default:
_td_global - config.startInSignedMode : Boolean (optional) - Tell the SDK to default to Signed Mode if no choice is already made. Default:
false - config.jsonpTimeout : Number (optional) - JSONP timeout (in milliseconds) Default:
10000 - config.storeConsentByLocalStorage : Boolean (optional) - Tell the SDK to use localStorage to store user consent. Default:
false
Track/Storage parameters:
- config.clientId : String (optional) - uuid for this client. When undefined it will attempt fetching the value from a cookie if storage is enabled, if none is found it will generate a v4 uuid
- config.storage : Object | String (optional) - storage configuration object. When
noneit will disable cookie storage - config.storage.name : String (optional) - cookie name. Default:
_td - config.storage.expires : Number (optional) - cookie expiration in seconds. When 0 it will expire with the session. Default:
63072000(2 years) - config.storage.domain : String (optional) - cookie domain. Default: result of
document.location.hostname
⚠️ NOTE: If config.storage.domain would be not set, td-js-sdk may create cookies against multiple domains. For example, suppose you have td-js-sdk located at foo.bar.com. If config.storage.domain is not set, td-js-sdk will create two cookies for foo.bar.com and bar.com. In other words, if you don't want cookies created for higher level domains, you need to set domain parameter to the specific domain.
Server Side Cookie:
- config.useServerSideCookie : Boolean (optional) - enables/disable using ServerSide Cookie. Default:
false - config.sscDomain : String | () => String (optional) - Domain against which the Server Side Cookie is set. Default:

});Sends an event to Treasure Data. If the table does not exist it will be created for you.
Records will have additional properties applied to them if $global or table-specific attributes are configured using Treasure#set.
td_ip, td_client_id, td_global_id automatically, so if you want to send those information along with this
function you have to do it manually, as following:
td.ready(function () {
td.set('$global', 'td_ip', 'ip value');
td.set('$global', 'td_client_id', td.getTrackValues().td_client_id);
td.set('$global', 'td_global_id', 'global id value');
td.addRecord(...)

- How does the async script snippet work?
The async script snippet will create a fake Treasure object on the window and inject the async script tag with the td-js-sdk url. This fake Treasure object includes a fake of all the public methods exposed by the real version. As you call different methods, they will be buffered in memory until the real td-js-sdk has loaded. Upon td-js-sdk loading, it will look for existing clients and process their buffered actions.
The unminified script loader can be seen in src/loader.js. The code to load existing clients and their buffered actions once td-js-sdk has been loaded can be seen in lib/loadClients.js.
domreadyis kept at0.3.0for IE6 and above support- td-js-sdk doesn't support IE6,7 on version 1.5.2 or later.
First you'll need to install BrowserStackTunnel. You can download the binary from the BrowserStack website. If you're on Mac OS you can install it through homebrew: brew install caskroom/cask/browserstacklocal.
Next, you'll need to set the appropriate environment variables:
BROWSER_STACK_BINARY_BASE_PATH: This should be the directory you put theBrowserStackTunnelbinary in. If you installed with homebrew you can runwhich browserstacklocalto find the directory.BROWSER_STACK_USERNAME: You can find this under the Automate section of the BrowserStack account settings pageBROWSER_STACK_ACCESS_KEY: You can find this under the Automate section of the BrowserStack account settings page
Now, you can run the command npm run test-full.
