Provide a separate tracker package for deep integration

I'm working on a Rails app (with Vue frontend, no SPA), and would like to integrate the tracker directly into our frontend application.

Using a separate script tag feels wrong (not only for the additional HTTP request, but also because it's just another hint for ad blockers to latch on)...

I would like to do something like this:





Here, the init function takes all [config options]( and some [env vars]( (injected into my frontend build process) as constructor arguments, instead of reading them from currentScript (which does not work with JS modules, IIRC).

This is conceptually similar to the @umami/node functionality (but for the browser), and very much different to the @umami/api-client (which does not provide access to the event endpoint, AFAICT).

Maybe the imaginary @umami/tracker code could also be re-used in src/tracker/?

I'd be willing to prototype this, when there's interest in this.

Edit: A prototype can be found in #4111
