Is it possible to have two instances of Matomo ?

[rdhox]

Hello!

I have a special case to handle:

For a transition between to Matomo accounts, I wish for a certain period of time to send analytics to two differents Matomo, where the URL and the ID are different. I was thinking of initialising two instance of the matomo object that we import inside the project, but after taking a look a the source code, it's not really possible.

@mav10 @lorenc-tomasz It there a chance that I missed a possibility of doing that with this library?

Thank you !

HI @rdhox :)

at the moment it's not possible. I can try to look into that this weekend :) but without any promises.

Thanks for your answer! I'll try also if I have some time this week-end.

Hi @rdhox
I have create draft PR: #12

You can check new Readme here: https://github.com/lorenc-tomasz/react-native-matomo/tree/feature/allow-to-start-multiple-instances

Patch file over 1.0.6:

@mccsoft+react-native-matomo+1.0.6.patch

When you will have some time, please test it :) I have done tests on my side and it seems working fine, but it's better that someone else will check it as well :)

Hi @lorenc-tomasz,

Thanks for your awesome work!
I just checked the code and tested the patch. Everything looks OK to me but I have an error with the initialize function on IOS.
My project run on RN 0.79.5, so maybe it's because of that. I checked the initialize method on the JS and Swift code but I see nothing wrong.

Hi @rdhox,
can you try it on clean project?

The error Compiling JS failed: 38:9:';' expected indicates that the JavaScript engine is receiving TypeScript syntax that wasn't transpiled. And that is strange.
