In bnosac/GAlogger: Log Events and Usage to Google Analytics

Description

Set the identifier of a visitor as it is known by you. The user_id identifier is the identifier of the visitor/user as it is know by you. Defaults to a randomly generated identifier.

You can also set the client_id identifier which anonymously identifies a particular user or device. For R users this client_id identifies the same user across different R sessions. The value of this field should be a random UUID (version 4) as described in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt
By default for every new R session, a new client_id is generated.

Usage

ga_set_user_id(user_id = uuid::UUIDgenerate(),
  client_id = uuid::UUIDgenerate())

Arguments

user_id	a character string with the visitor/user known to you. Defaults to a randomly generated UUID.
client_id	a character string in UUID format which anonymously and uniquely identifies a particular R user or device across different R sessions. Defaults to a randomly generated UUID.

Value

invisibly a list all general settings used to send data to Google Analytics
