Question

My end goal is to be able to send:

$('[data-track]').live('click', function () {
    mpmetrics.track("Share", {'method': 'twitter'});
});

My question is how I can store the Share, method, twitter in the data-bind attribute so that they are dynamic and I can change the variables on any data-track attribute in my app.

<a data-track="XXXXXX" href="#">Tweet</a>

For XXXXXX, how can I set the 3 variables and then parse them in the data-track binding?

Thanks

Answer 1

<a data-track="Share,method,twitter" href="#">

Then…

var dataTrack = $(this).data('track').split(','); // split by comma

var action    = dataTrack[0];
var values    = {};
values[dataTrack[1]] = dataTrack[2];

mpmetrics.track(action, values);
