setName (SPA API)

Syntax

newrelic.interaction().setName(string $name[, string $trigger])

Sets the name and trigger of a SPA's browser interaction that is not a route change or URL change.

Requirements

• Browser Pro+SPA agent (v963 or higher)

• If you're using npm to install the browser agent, you must enable the spa feature when instantiating the BrowserAgent class. In the features array, add the following:

  import { Spa } from '@newrelic/browser-agent/features/spa';
  
  const options = {
    info: { ... },
    loader_config: { ... },
    init: { ... },

    ]
  }

Description

This SPA monitoring method sets the name and trigger of a browser interaction. The name will be exposed as the browserInteractionName attribute in the BrowserInteraction event. It will also be used for grouping in the UI.

By default, browserInteractionName is named after an associated URL or route. Use setName() when you want to record an interaction that is not a route change or URL change.

The setCurrentRouteName() method also names the current route. When you use both:

• setName() takes precedence for naming the interaction.
• The previousRouteName and targetRouteName attributes are still set with values passed to setCurrentRouteName().

Using these methods together allows many options for filtering and grouping in the UI. For example, you can:

• Filter down to interactions of a certain type, such as LikeButtonClick.
• Then, group by targetRouteName to see what routes have the most LikeButtonClick interactions.

Parameters

Return values

This method returns the same API object created by interaction().

Examples

document.getElementById('subscribe').addEventListener('submit', () => {
  newrelic.interaction().setName('createSubscription');
  createSubscription();
});
