Documentation

You can find a reference documentation here.

And a sample project in the Sample/ folder.

Getting started

First add the following section to your appsettings.json:

{
  // ...
  "Matomo": {
    "ApiUrl": "https://matomo.org",
    "SiteId": 1,
    "SiteUrl": "https://app"
  }
  // ...
}

ApiUrl is the Url of your Matomo instance

SiteId is the ID of the Matomo Website you registered for the App

SiteUrl is the Url you registered for the App in the Matomo Website

Now add the Matomo.Maui Nuget Package to your project:

dotnet add package Matomo.Maui

Or use your IDE for the job. Next we need to setup Matomo in the MauiProgram.cs:

// ...

var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();

builder
    .UseMauiApp<App>()
    .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
    {
        fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
        fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
    })
    .UseMatomo(); // <-- Add this line

// ...

return builder.Build();

Last but not least setup your app for dispatiching the events to your Matomo Instance in App.xaml.cs:

using Matomo.Maui.Models;

namespace Matomo.Maui.Sample;

public partial class App : Application
{
	private IMatomoAnalytics _matomo;
	
	public App(IMatomoAnalytics matomo)
	{
		_matomo = matomo;
		_matomo.Verbose = true; // recommended for debug use only
		_matomo.OptOut = false; // if you are not hosting your own Matomo instance, please use this in order to provide your user a option to opt-out of tracking.
		_matomo.Dimensions.Add(new Dimension(id: 1, name: "AppVersion", currentValue: AppInfo.VersionString)); // remember to add your custom Dimensions in your Matomo instance first.
		
		InitializeComponent();

		MainPage = new AppShell();
	}

	protected override async void OnSleep()
	{
		base.OnSleep();

		try
		{
			await _matomo.LeavingTheApp(); // <-- Having this call awaited is important for the dispatch to complete.
		}
		catch (Exception ex)
		{
			System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
		}
	}
}

You now have access to Matomo via dependency injection, just reference IMatomoAnalytics in order to have the service injected.

There is also IShellHelper that helps you to get the current path of the current page. However this is optional.
