analytics.viewedItem

analytics.viewedItem is an event on the Event Bus that occurs after a user has viewed a product. This event only dispatches when analytics is enabled in the shop.

Event body

none

Example

In this example we listen to analytics.viewedItem event and perform an action whenever it's emitted.

useStorefront(async (storefront) => {
    storefront.eventBus.on('analytics.viewedItem', () => {
        console.log('A user has viewed a product')
    });
});

Example

In this example we use a Message Storage API to retrieve an array of past analytics.viewedItem events.

useStorefront((storefront) => {
    const messageStorageApi = storefront.getApiSync('messageStorageSystemApi');

    const pastViewedItemEvents = messageStorageApi.getChannelMessages('analytics.viewedItem');

    if (pastViewedItemEvents.length > 0) {
        pastViewedItemEvents.forEach(({ body: eventBody }) => {
            console.log('perform action on every past event');
        });
    }
});
