Configuration

There are several configuration options when creating a walker.js instance:

const walkerjs = Walkerjs({
  dataLayer: true, // Add the dataLayer destination
  dataLayerConfig: {
    consent: 'functional', // Require functional consent
  },
  elb: 'elb', // Assign the elb function to the window
  globals: {
    tagged: false, // A static global attribute
  },
  pageview: true, // Trigger a page view event with each run
  run: true, // Automatically start running
  session: {
    storage: true, // Use the storage for session detection
    consent: 'marketing', // Require marketing consent to access storage
    length: 60, // Session length in minutes
  },
  tagging: 1, // Current version of the tagging
});
