From Heap Core SDK to CSQ SDK

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

Heap Core SDK

Heap Core 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 SDK dependencies with the CSQ SDK:

Terminal window
yarn remove @heap/heap-react-native-autocapture @heap/heap-react-native-bridge @heap/babel-plugin-heap-react-native-autocapture
yarn add @contentsquare/react-native-bridge
cd ios && pod install
babel.config.js
module.exports = {
presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
plugins: ['@heap/heap-react-native-autocapture'],
plugins: ['@contentsquare/react-native-bridge/babel'],
};

Replace Heap Core and Autocapture SDK imports with a unified CSQ SDK import.

import { Heap } from '@heap/heap-react-native-bridge';
import {
HeapIgnore,
HeapIgnoreText,
withHeapIgnore,
} from '@heap/heap-react-native-autocapture';
import {
CSQMask,
withCSQMask,
} 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();
    }, []);

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.

Heap.identify("some_identity")
CSQ.identify("some_identity")

For more information on SDK methods, see the SDK API reference.

const heapSessionId = await Heap.getSessionId();
const heapEnvId = await Heap.getEnvironmentId();
const heapIdentity = await Heap.getIdentity();
};
useEffect(() => {
const onMetadataChangeUnsubscribe = CSQ.onMetadataChange(metadata => {
const userId = metadata.userID;
const sessionId = metadata.sessionID;
const environmentId = metadata.environmentID;
const identity = metadata.identity;
});
return () => {
onMetadataChangeUnsubscribe();
};
}, []);

});

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 { 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. methods 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.
