Track custom variables

Custom variables provide additional information about the page, user, or session, which is sent along with screenviews.

For example, they can contain details about the current layout of a screen, such as day/night mode.

• A maximum of 20 distinct custom variables per screenview can be stored. If more are received, only the first 20 custom variables, based on their index value, will be retained.
• The index value of the custom variable determines which ones will be retained. Only index values from 1 to 20 (inclusive) will be considered.

• Every custom variable is composed of index, name and value.
• If the same index is used twice in the same screen, only the first (name, value) pair associated with the index will be kept.
• A maximum of 20 custom variables can be stored on the same screenview.
• If the maximum character length is reached for name (512 characters) or value (255 characters), the SDK will automatically truncate the additional characters automatically.
• If name or value are empty, the SDK will instead send the literal string "cs-empty".
• Maintain a consistent index for a given custom variable throughout the application. For example, if the “screen layout” is collected with an index of 3, use the slot 3 for this information on every screen of the application.

To define and send custom variables, follow this implementation:

import 'package:contentsquare/contentsquare.dart';

final customVar1 = CustomVar(
  index: 1,
  name: 'customName_1',
  value: 'customValue_1',
);

final customVar2 = CustomVar(
  index: 2,
  name: 'customName_2',
  value: 'customValue_2',
);

Contentsquare().send(
  'myAwesomeScreenName',
  customVars: [customVar1, customVar2],
);
