# Add CLItrail to Quasar

Where the CLItrail tag goes in Quasar, in its own idiom, with the consent, CSP and client-side routing details and how to check it works.

Written for Quasar 2 with Quasar CLI (@quasar/app-vite 3)

## Where the tag goes

Edit `index.html (Quasar CLI with webpack: src/index.template.html)`. Put the tag on every page that shows your install command; site-wide is best, after your existing analytics tags.

```html
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <!-- …your analytics tags first -->
  <script defer src="https://YOUR_SERVICE/browser.js" data-website="YOUR_WEBSITE_ID"></script>
</head>
```

## Only after consent

Use the loader in place of the tag: nothing from CLItrail loads until `startClitrail()` runs. Load the loader before your consent manager's script and call `startClitrail()` from the manager's accept callback (most managers also run it on later visits once a choice is stored; check yours). Use the marketing category when installs go to Google Ads, Meta, TikTok or X Ads, and the analytics category when they only reach GA4 or your webhooks.

Consent loader

```js
// Loads CLItrail only after the visitor agrees. Call startClitrail() from your
// consent manager's "accepted" callback; nothing is fetched or stored before that.
window.startClitrail = () => {
  if (document.getElementById('clitrail')) return;
  const tag = document.createElement('script');
  tag.id = 'clitrail';
  tag.src = 'https://YOUR_SERVICE/browser.js';
  tag.dataset.website = 'YOUR_WEBSITE_ID';
  document.head.append(tag);
};
```

```html
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <!-- …your analytics tags first -->
  <script defer src="/clitrail-consent.js"></script>
</head>
```

## Client-side routing

Quasar apps change pages with Vue Router. A boot file hooks `router.afterEach`; register it for the client only.

Route helper

```js
// Records a visit when client-side navigation opens a new page path. The tag records
// the page the browser loaded, so that page is never recorded twice; before the SDK has
// started (for example, before consent) it records nothing.
declare global {
  interface Window {
    InstallAttribution?: { init(options: { service: string; project: string }): Promise<unknown>; ready?: Promise<unknown> };
  }
}

let recorded: string | undefined;

export function recordVisit(): void {
  if (typeof window === 'undefined') return;
  recorded ??= new URL(performance.getEntriesByType('navigation')[0]?.name ?? location.href).pathname;
  const sdk = window.InstallAttribution;
  if (!sdk?.ready || location.pathname === recorded) return;
  recorded = location.pathname;
  sdk.ready = sdk.init({ service: 'https://YOUR_SERVICE', project: 'YOUR_WEBSITE_ID' });
}
```

```js
import { defineBoot } from '#q-app';
import { recordVisit } from '../clitrail';

export default defineBoot(({ router }) => {
  router.afterEach(() => recordVisit());
});
```

Register the boot file

```js
boot: [{ path: 'clitrail', server: false }],
```

## Content Security Policy

Quasar's app template can put a `<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy">` in `index.html`: extend that one (or your host's headers) and add `https://YOUR_SERVICE` to `script-src` and `connect-src`, and `blob:` to `worker-src` (only Safari before 26 needs that one).

```
script-src 'self' https://YOUR_SERVICE;
connect-src 'self' https://YOUR_SERVICE;
worker-src 'self' blob:;
```

## Verify it works

1. Run `quasar dev` or deploy.
2. Open a page with the tag in Chrome or Firefox (accept analytics first if you gate CLItrail on consent), open the developer console and run `await InstallAttribution.ready`. It resolves to `{ ok: true, urlId, hasAnalyticsContext, expiresAt }`.
3. In the CLItrail dashboard, open Visits & identities: the visit is listed.
4. Anything else names the cause: `disabled` (no consent yet, or `data-enabled="false"`), `opfs_unavailable` (the page is not served over https or from localhost), `Error` (the service refused the visit: add the page's origin, including a development origin such as `http://localhost:3000`, under Settings → Additional domains). If `InstallAttribution` is undefined, the tag did not load: check the Network tab and your Content-Security-Policy.

Then run your installer on the same computer and check **Install events**, or run the hook with [`--doctor`](https://clitrail.com/docs/doctor).

## Notes

Older Quasar CLI versions import `boot` from `quasar/wrappers` instead of `defineBoot` from `#q-app`.
