PLuG Web SDK

UserExperior migration

The DevRev Plug SDK serves as a direct replacement for the legacy UserExperior Web SDK. This section outlines the steps to facilitate a seamless migration from UserExperior to DevRev Plug.

NPM package support is discontinued.

Installation

Update your script tags as shown to migrate successfully to the DevRev Plug SDK.


<script src="https://unpkg.com/user-experior-web@latest/bundle/ue-web-bundle.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://plug-platform.devrev.ai/static/plug.js"></script>

Initialization

Update your initialization code to work with the DevRev Plug SDK, ensuring session recording is enabled and handling events appropriately.


const ue = new UserExperior.init();
ue.startRecording("<your_unique_app_id>")
.then(() => {
  // code you want to execute after recording starts
  // you can call the setUserIdentifer method here
})
.catch((error) => {
  // code you want to execute if recording fails
});

To enable session recordings, go to Settings > Support > Session Replays and enable recordings for your desired platforms.


window.plugSDK.init({
   app_id: "<your_unique_app_id>",
   disable_plug_chat_window: true,
});
window.plugSDK.onEvent((payload) => {
	if (payload.type === 'ON_OBSERVABILITY_READY') {
    // code you want to execute after recording starts
	}
});

If you have configured Content Security Policy (CSP) in your application, you need to allow access to the following domains.

Recording options


ue.startRecording("243b0f40-db67-4f3e-b51d-c52001dd858a", {
	sessionReplay: {
		// To mask all the input fields pass the following.
		maskAllInputs: true,
		
		// Available Mask Input Options:
		maskInputOptions: {
		    color: boolean,
		    date: boolean,
		    'datetime-local': boolean,
		    month: boolean,
		    number: boolean,
		    range: boolean,
		    search: boolean,
		    text: boolean,
		    time: boolean,
		    url: boolean,
		    week: boolean,
		    textarea: boolean
		},
		
		// Mouse moves are also ignored by default by the SDK to avoid unnecessary events increasing the payload size. To enable mouse move capture  
		// you need to specify the following option to capture the mouse movements:
		captureMouseMove: true 
		
		// By default we track network log in session. To disable network log tracking you can specify the following option:
		captureNetworkLogs: false 
		
		// By default we track console errors in session. To disable console tracking you can specify the following option:
		captureConsoleLogs: false 
	}
});

window.plugSDK.init({
  app_id: "<your_unique_app_id>",
  disable_plug_chat_window: true,
  session_recording_options: {
  		sessionReplay: {
  			maskAllInputs?: boolean;
  			maskInputOptions?: {
  				color: boolean;
  				date: boolean;
  				'datetime-local': boolean;
  				email: boolean;
  				month: boolean;
  				number: boolean;
  				range: boolean;
  				search: boolean;
  				tel: boolean;
  				text: boolean;
  				time: boolean;
  				url: boolean;
  				week: boolean;
  				textarea: boolean;
  				select: boolean;
  			};
  			captureMouseMove?: boolean;
  			captureNetworkLogs?: boolean;
  			captureConsoleLogs?: boolean;
  		}
  },
})

Masking

The same CSS classes from UserExperior are compatible with the DevRev Plug SDK without modifications.

Specific HTML elements

To mask a div:

<div class="ue-mask">Hello World</div>

Input elements

To mask input text:

<input class="ue-input-mask"/>

To completely block the input element:

<input class="ue-block"/>

These classes ensure elements are masked or blocked as required.

User identification


// Setting a user identifier
ue.setUserIdentifier('unique-user-identifier');

// Passing user properties
ue.setUserIdentifier('unique-user-identifier', {
 key1: value1,
 key2: value2,
 // ...
});

DevRev introduces the concept of a RevUser object for enhanced user identity management. Use this to associate sessions with users and attach properties. For more details, refer to the DevRev user identity.

Logging custom events

This approach facilitates custom event tracking, similar to the process in UserExperior, with additional capabilities.


ue.logEvent("YOUR_EVENT", {
    key1: value1,
    key2: value2,
    ...
})

window.plugSDK.trackEvent("YOUR_EVENT", {
    key1: value1,
    key2: value2,
    ...
})

For more details, see the Track events.

Session attributes (User properties)

UserExperior allowed setting session-level properties but didn’t have a global user object. DevRev utilizes the RevUser object and addSessionProperties() for enhanced functionality.

For setting user properties, refer to the User Identification.


ue.setUserProperties({
    key1: value1,
    key2: value2,
    ...
})
 
window.plugSDK.addSessionProperties({
    key1: value1,
    key2: value2,
    ...
})

Restart a session

Terminate the current session recording and start a new one.


 ue.restartSession();

await window.plugSDK.shutdown();
window.plugSDK.init({
   app_id: "<your_unique_app_id>",
   disable_plug_chat_window: true,
});
