JavaScript ADK - Questions and documentation

Hi, I was finally able to find the documentation. The only question I have is about how to use the JavaScript ADK. I guess, it's just a library and the developer must add calls to the functions that the API delivers.... right?

...meaning, it requires the web pages to be updated... right?

Developers simply need to load the dtapi.js file and then they can make calls to this api to e.g: create their own User Actions.

You can look at easyTravel. It also uses the ADK for e.g: capturing the Visitor Tag or capturing additional context information

Thanks man

The documentation I found is not enough.

Do we have any documentation that clearly explains how to use the javascript functions provided by the JavaScript ADK API, please? Our Customer saw what comes with the package that is on our download page and would like to retrieve a PDF or some doc that explains how to use the functions rather than having to see the samples that come with the package itself.

Please, let me know. Thanks,

Daniele

Have you checked the following page? JavaScript ADK and JavaScript Ajax ADK

It highlights all API methods that are relevant to create user actions or report data. Some examples

var actionName = dynaTrace.enterAction("My Action")

do something in your code

dynaTrace.leaveAction(actionName);

dynaTrace.reportError("your error message);

Let me know if this helps

Hi, 

of course I did it. Actually, that's been the first resource I found. However, they're looking for something like a programmer's guide where each method comes with description, an example of how to use it, constraints if any. The link above might help up to a certain point. I will see what I can do for them.

Thanks,

Daniele

Got it. Well - good news then. If you download the JS ADK Package (as described in the doc page) - then you will find the full functional documentation and samples in that package. We will update the doc so that it is clear that this type of information is part of the JavaScript ADK. You can download the package from the regular product downloads: http://www.dynatrace.com/downloads

Let me know if that is what you are looking for
