Snowplow is a scalable open-source platform for rich, high quality, low-latency data collection. It is designed to collect high quality, complete behavioral data for enterprise business.
**To find out more, please check out the [Snowplow website][website] and our [documentation][docs].**
## Snowplow JavaScript Trackers Overview
The Snowplow JavaScript Trackers allow you to add analytics to your websites, web apps and Node.js applications when using a [Snowplow][snowplow] pipeline.
With these trackers you can collect user event data (page views, e-commerce transactions etc) from the
client-side and server-side tiers of your websites and web apps.
**Technical documentation can be found for each tracker in our [Documentation][javascript-docs].**

### Maintainer quick start
Assuming [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads), [Node.js 14 or 16](https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/) are installed.
#### Clone repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow-javascript-tracker.git
```
#### Install gitleaks
To commit with safety in the repository, preventing sensitive key leakage, we use [gitleaks](https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks). Gitleaks runs as a pre-commit hook making sure it can prevent accidental committing of sensitive data.
To install gitleaks, you can follow the [getting started](https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks) section on the repository.
_For open source users before the update, you might need to re-run `rush install` to update your git hooks from source._
:warning: To disable gitleaks check, you can run your commit command with the `SKIP=gitleaks` variable. e.g. `SKIP=gitleaks git commit -m "Unsafe commit"`.
#### Building
```bash
npm install -g @microsoft/rush
rush update
rush build
```
## Testing
To run unit tests:
```bash
rush test
```
To run e2e browser tests (locally):
- Add `127.0.0.1 snowplow-js-tracker.local` to your `hosts` file:
```bash
cd trackers/javascript-tracker/
rushx test:e2e:local
```
