......@@ -150,6 +150,17 @@ Below is a list of supported `data-track-*` attributes:
| `data-track-value` | false | The `value` as described in our [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). If omitted, this is the element's `value` property or an empty string. For checkboxes, the default value is the element's checked attribute or `false` when unchecked. |
| `data-track-context` | false | The `context` as described in our [Structured event taxonomy](#structured-event-taxonomy). |
#### Caveats
When using the GitLab helper method [`nav_link`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/898b286de322e5df6a38d257b10c94974d580df8/app/helpers/tab_helper.rb#L69) be sure to wrap `html_options` under the `html_options` keyword argument.
Be careful, as this behavior can be confused with the `ActionView` helper method [`link_to`](https://api.rubyonrails.org/v5.2.3/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#method-i-link_to) that does not require additional wrapping of `html_options`
`nav_link(controller: ['dashboard/groups', 'explore/groups'], html_options: { data: { track_label: "groups_dropdown", track_event: "click_dropdown" } })`
vs
`link_to assigned_issues_dashboard_path, title: _('Issues'), data: { track_label: 'main_navigation', track_event: 'click_issues_link' }`
### Tracking within Vue components
There's a tracking Vue mixin that can be used in components if more complex tracking is required. To use it, first import the `Tracking` library and request a mixin.
