| 1 | +# @imtbl/audience-web-sdk — Audience Web SDK |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Explicit, typed, consent-aware event tracking and identity management for web surfaces. Part of the Immutable Audience platform. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Install |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +```bash |
| 8 | +npm install @imtbl/audience-web-sdk |
| 9 | +``` |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Quick Start |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +```typescript |
| 14 | +import { ImmutableWebSDK, AudienceEvent, IdentityProvider } from '@imtbl/audience-web-sdk'; |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +const sdk = ImmutableWebSDK.init({ |
| 17 | + publishableKey: 'pk_imtbl_...', |
| 18 | + environment: 'production', |
| 19 | + consent: 'anonymous', |
| 20 | +}); |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +// Track a typed event |
| 23 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.Purchase, { |
| 24 | + currency: 'USD', |
| 25 | + value: 9.99, |
| 26 | + itemId: 'sword_01', |
| 27 | +}); |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +// Track a custom event |
| 30 | +sdk.track('beta_key_redeemed', { source: 'influencer' }); |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +// Page view (call on route change in SPAs) |
| 33 | +sdk.page(); |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Initialisation |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```typescript |
| 39 | +const sdk = ImmutableWebSDK.init({ |
| 40 | + publishableKey: 'pk_imtbl_...', // Required — from Immutable Hub |
| 41 | + environment: 'production', // 'dev' | 'sandbox' | 'production' |
| 42 | + consent: 'none', // 'none' | 'anonymous' | 'full' (default: 'none') |
| 43 | + consentSource: 'CookieBannerV2', // Identifies the consent source (default: 'WebSDK') |
| 44 | + trackPageViews: false, // Auto-fire page() on SPA route changes (default: false) |
| 45 | + debug: false, // Log all events to console (default: false) |
| 46 | + cookieDomain: '.studio.com', // Cross-subdomain cookie sharing (optional) |
| 47 | + flushInterval: 5000, // Queue flush interval in ms (default: 5000) |
| 48 | + flushSize: 20, // Queue flush size threshold (default: 20) |
| 49 | +}); |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## Consent |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +The SDK defaults to `none` — no events are collected until consent is explicitly set. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +```typescript |
| 57 | +sdk.setConsent('anonymous'); // Anonymous tracking (no PII) |
| 58 | +sdk.setConsent('full'); // Full tracking (PII via identify) |
| 59 | +sdk.setConsent('none'); // Stop tracking, purge queue, clear cookies |
| 60 | +``` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Consent is: |
| 63 | +- **Persisted locally** via `_imtbl_consent` cookie (shared with the pixel) |
| 64 | +- **Synced server-side** via `PUT /v1/audience/tracking-consent` |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +| Level | Behaviour | |
| 67 | +|-------|-----------| |
| 68 | +| `none` | SDK is inert. No events collected. Queue purged on downgrade. | |
| 69 | +| `anonymous` | Events collected with anonymous ID only. `identify()` calls are discarded. | |
| 70 | +| `full` | Full collection. `identify()` sends. `userId` included on events. | |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +**On downgrade to `none`:** queue purged, `imtbl_anon_id` and `_imtbl_sid` cookies cleared. |
| 73 | +**On downgrade from `full` to `anonymous`:** identify messages purged, `userId` stripped from queued events. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +## Event Tracking |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### Typed Events |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +```typescript |
| 80 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.SignUp, { method: 'google' }); |
| 81 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.SignIn, { method: 'passport' }); |
| 82 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.Purchase, { currency: 'USD', value: 9.99 }); |
| 83 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.WishlistAdd, { gameId: 'game_123', source: 'landing_page' }); |
| 84 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.WishlistRemove, { gameId: 'game_123' }); |
| 85 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.SessionStart, {}); |
| 86 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.SessionEnd, { duration: 1800 }); |
| 87 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.LevelReached, { level: 5, characterClass: 'warrior' }); |
| 88 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.Spend, { currency: 'gold', value: 100 }); |
| 89 | +sdk.track(AudienceEvent.TutorialComplete, { stepNumber: 3 }); |
| 90 | +``` |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### Custom Events |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +```typescript |
| 95 | +sdk.track('checkout_started', { cartValue: 49.99, itemCount: 3 }); |
| 96 | +sdk.track('discord_joined'); |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +## Page Tracking |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +```typescript |
| 102 | +// Explicit page view |
| 103 | +sdk.page(); |
| 104 | +sdk.page({ section: 'shop', category: 'weapons' }); |
| 105 | +``` |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +For SPAs, enable auto-tracking to fire `page()` on every route change: |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +```typescript |
| 110 | +const sdk = ImmutableWebSDK.init({ |
| 111 | + publishableKey: 'pk_imtbl_...', |
| 112 | + environment: 'production', |
| 113 | + consent: 'anonymous', |
| 114 | + trackPageViews: true, // Detects pushState, replaceState, popstate |
| 115 | +}); |
| 116 | +``` |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +Attribution context (UTMs, click IDs, referrer, landing page) is automatically attached to the first page view. |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +## Identity |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +```typescript |
| 123 | +// Identify a known user (requires full consent) |
| 124 | +sdk.identify('user@example.com', IdentityProvider.Email); |
| 125 | +sdk.identify('76561198012345', IdentityProvider.Steam); |
| 126 | +sdk.identify('passport_sub_abc', IdentityProvider.Passport, { |
| 127 | + email: 'user@example.com', |
| 128 | + name: 'Player One', |
| 129 | +}); |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +// Link two identities (same player, different providers) |
| 132 | +sdk.alias( |
| 133 | + { uid: '76561198012345', provider: IdentityProvider.Steam }, |
| 134 | + { uid: 'user@example.com', provider: IdentityProvider.Email }, |
| 135 | +); |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +// Reset on logout (new anonymous ID, clears userId) |
| 138 | +sdk.reset(); |
| 139 | +``` |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +**Providers:** `Passport`, `Steam`, `Epic`, `Google`, `Apple`, `Discord`, `Email`, `Custom` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +## Queue & Lifecycle |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +```typescript |
| 146 | +// Force flush all queued events |
| 147 | +await sdk.flush(); |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +// Stop the SDK (flushes remaining events, tears down listeners) |
| 150 | +sdk.shutdown(); |
| 151 | +``` |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +Events are batched and flushed every 5 seconds or when 20 messages accumulate. On page unload (`visibilitychange` / `pagehide`), remaining events are flushed via `fetch` with `keepalive: true`. |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +## CDN Usage |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +For sites without a bundler: |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +```html |
| 160 | +<script src="https://cdn.immutable.com/web-sdk/v1/imtbl-web.js"></script> |
| 161 | +<script> |
| 162 | + var sdk = window.ImmutableWebSDK.init({ |
| 163 | + publishableKey: 'pk_imtbl_...', |
| 164 | + environment: 'production', |
| 165 | + consent: 'anonymous', |
| 166 | + }); |
| 167 | +
|
| 168 | + sdk.track('signup_started'); |
| 169 | + sdk.identify('user@example.com', 'email'); |
| 170 | +</script> |
| 171 | +``` |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +## Cookies |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +All cookies are first-party, `SameSite=Lax`, `Secure` on HTTPS, and shared with the pixel: |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +| Cookie | Lifetime | Purpose | |
| 178 | +|--------|----------|---------| |
| 179 | +| `imtbl_anon_id` | 2 years | Anonymous device ID | |
| 180 | +| `_imtbl_sid` | 30 min (rolling) | Session continuity | |
| 181 | +| `_imtbl_consent` | 1 year | Consent state | |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +## Wire Format |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +Events are sent to `POST /v1/audience/messages` with the `x-immutable-publishable-key` header. All messages include `surface: 'web'` and follow the backend OpenAPI spec. |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +## Bundle Size |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +| Bundle | Size (gzipped) | |
| 190 | +|--------|---------------| |
| 191 | +| npm (ESM, tree-shaken) | ~3.6 KB | |
| 192 | +| CDN (IIFE, self-contained) | ~4.0 KB | |
