From Heap Core SDK + Contentsquare SDK to CSQ SDK

This guide provides a step-by-step upgrade process from your current installation of Contentsquare and Heap Mobile to the latest version of the CSQ SDK.

CSQ SDK

CSQ SDK

The latest version of our SDK provides a unified set of APIs for Product Analytics, Experience Analytics, and Experience Monitoring, eliminating redundant APIs that perform the same actions.

Upgrading to the latest version ensures you benefit from all our newest features and product enhancements.

Replace Heap and Contentsquare SDK dependencies by the CSQ SDK:

Terminal window
yarn remove @heap/heap-react-native-autocapture @heap/heap-react-native-bridge @heap/heap-react-native-cs-integration @heap/babel-plugin-heap-react-native-autocapture
yarn add @contentsquare/react-native-bridge
cd ios && pod install

Replace the Heap and Contentsquare dependency imports with a CSQ SDK import.

import { Heap } from '@heap/heap-react-native-bridge';
import { registerHeapAutocapture } from '@heap/heap-react-native-autocapture';
import Contentsquare from "@contentsquare/react-native-bridge";
import { bind } from '@heap/heap-react-native-cs-integration';
import { CSQ } from "@contentsquare/react-native-bridge";

Follow these steps to start the CSQ SDK with your current configuration.

  1. Migrate your app ID and the config options from Heap.startRecording() to CSQ.configureProductAnalytics().

    App.tsx
    import { CSQ } from "@contentsquare/react-native-bridge";
    useEffect(() => {
    Heap.startRecording("YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID");
    CSQ.configureProductAnalytics(
    "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID"
    )
    }, []);
  2. For React Native Autocapture, replace the babel plugin from @heap/heap-react-native-autocapture to @contentsquare/react-native-bridge/babel in your babel configuration.

    babel.config.js
    module.exports = {
    presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
    plugins: ['@heap/heap-react-native-autocapture'],
    plugins: ['@contentsquare/react-native-bridge/babel'],
    };
  3. For React Native Autocapture, replace registerHeapAutocapture() with enableRNAutocapture = true option:

    App.tsx
    import { CSQ } from "@contentsquare/react-native-bridge";
    useEffect(() => {
    registerHeapAutocapture();
    CSQ.configureProductAnalytics(
    "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
    {
    enableRNAutocapture: true
    }
    )
    }, []);
  4. Add a call to CSQ.start() after the configuration call.

    App.tsx
    import { CSQ } from "@contentsquare/react-native-bridge";
    useEffect(() => {
    CSQ.configureProductAnalytics(
    "YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID",
    {
    enableRNAutocapture: true
    }
    )
    CSQ.start();
    }, []);
  5. Remove HeapContentsquareIntegration.bind().
    Sending Heap screenviews to Contentsquare
    App.tsx
    bind({ sendHeapPageviewsToContentsquare: true });
    Sending Contentsquare screenviews to Heap
    App.tsx
    bind({ sendHeapPageviewsToContentsquare: true });
    CSQ.configureProductAnalytics("YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID", {
    disablePageviewAutocapture: true,
    resumePreviousSession: true
    });
  6. (Optional) If you have chosen to deactivate the autostart of the Contentsquare SDK, you can now remove the entry in the manifest, as the CSQ SDK doesn’t have an autostart.

    AndroidManifest.xml
    <application>
    ...
    <meta-data
    android:name="com.contentsquare.android.autostart"
    android:value="false"
    />
    ...
    </application>

The CSQ SDK treats users as opted-out by default.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { View, Text, Button } from "react-native";
import { CSQ } from "@contentsquare/react-native-bridge";
const PolicyConsentScreen = () => {
const [isTrackingAccepted, setIsTrackingAccepted] = useState(false);
const handleAcceptPolicy = () => {
setIsTrackingAccepted(true);
CSQ.optIn();
};
return (
<View>
<Text>Please accept our privacy policy to proceed.</Text>
<Button title="Accept Policy" onPress={handleAcceptPolicy} />
</View>
);
};
export default PolicyConsentScreen;

Implement the optIn() API to forward user consent to the SDK and generate a user ID.

Search and replace all legacy SDK API calls in your app to the latest CSQ APIs using the following mappings. Updating your API calls ensures continued functionality without disruption.

In most cases, this process consists in updating the namespace and method names, with no changes to parameters.

Contentsquare.start()
Heap.startRecording("YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_ID")
CSQ.start()
The latest version of our CSQ SDK provides a unified set of APIs for Product Analytics, Experience Analytics, and Experience Monitoring, eliminating redundant APIs that perform the same actions.

Congratulations! You’re all set. Use this checklist to ensure everything is correctly updated.

Ensure that you are using a version 6.0.0 or later of the Contentsquare React Native SDK.

Your import Contentsquare from “@contentsquare/react-native-bridge” and import { ErrorAnalysis } from “@contentsquare/react-native-bridge” declarations have been updated to import { CSQ } from “@contentsquare/react-native-bridge”.

Your import { Heap } from '@heap/heap-react-native-bridge' and import { registerHeapAutocapture } from '@heap/heap-react-native-autocapture' import declarations have been updated to import { CSQ} from “@contentsquare/react-native-bridge”.

You no longer have references to Heap. or Contentsquare. methods in your codebase.

You no longer have references to CSMask or CSWebView components in your codebase.

You no longer have references to <HeapIgnore>, <HeapIgnoreText> or withHeapIgnore components in your codebase.

All calls to the CSQ SDK use the CSQ.namespace.
