This is a JavaScript code snippet. It appears to be part of a website’s tracking or analytics implementation, likely for a service called “Survicate” and potentially for marketing campaigns (Google and Facebook).
here’s a breakdown of what the code does:
- Survicate Integration:
it checks if the Survicate object (w.sva) and its setVisitorTraits method are available.
If they are, it calls a setAttributes function (which is not fully defined in this snippet but is implied to be related to setting visitor traits).
If Survicate is not yet ready, it attaches an event listener for the SurvicateReady event. When this event fires, it will call the setAttributes function. It then dynamically creates a
- TimesApps Functionality:
it defines a TimesApps object on the window if it doesn't already exist.
It then defines a function TimesApps.toiPlusEvents which takes a config object.
Configuration Check:
It checks if certain configuration settings (toiplussite_settings, isFBCampaignActive, isGoogleCampaignActive) are available in a global f object.
It also checks if the current user is a "Prime User" (window.isPrime).
Conditional Loading:
if the configuration is available and the user is not a Prime User:
It calls loadGtagEvents if isGoogleCampaignActive is true.
It calls loadFBEvents if isFBCampaignActive is true.
It calls loadSurvicateJs with the allowedSurvicateSections from the configuration.
Else (if configuration is not available or the user is a Prime User):
It defines a JarvisUrl to fetch site settings from an external API.
It uses a window.getFromClient function (presumably another utility function) to fetch thes settings.
Once the settings are fetched:
It determines which allowedSurvicateSections to use based on whether the user is on a "Prime User Layout" (window.isPrimeUserLayout).
It then calls loadGtagEvents, loadFBEvents, and loadSurvicateJs with the fetched configuration.
In essence, this code snippet is designed to:
Initialize and configure Survicate: A customer feedback and survey tool.
Load tracking scripts for Google and Facebook campaigns: Likely for marketing analytics and retargeting.
Dynamically fetch site settings: This allows for flexible configuration of which tracking and survey features are enabled, potentially based on user type (Prime vs. non-Prime) or campaign status.
Handle asynchronous loading: It ensures that scripts are loaded and initialized correctly, even if the Survicate library isn't promptly available when the main script runs.
The setAttributes function, loadGtagEvents, loadFBEvents, and window.getFromClient are not defined within this snippet, implying they are defined elsewhere in the codebase.
