General information when implementing the NPO Tag

Before getting started it is good to understand how the NPO Tag SDK works, what the main concepts are and how you can use them.

Plugins

When initializing the NPOTag, you’ll have to specify which plugins you’re integrating. Plugins correspond to the data collectors that you want to use. Right now, there are two supported plugins:

GoVolte
ATInternet

Trackers

Trackers are the objects that actually collect data and send it to the different plugins. There are different trackers for different needs. The tracker that you’ll most probably use the most is the PageTracker. The trackers that are currently available are:

PageTracker
StreamTracker
RecommendationsTracker

let tracker = Tracker()

val tracker = Tracker()

echo "Hello World!"

Events

NPOContext

The NPOContext is used to initialise the NPOTag oject.
