Installation

You can install the package in a Laravel app that uses Filament via composer:

composer require agencetwogether/matomo-analytics

[!IMPORTANT] If you have not set up a custom theme and are using Filament Panels follow the instructions in theFilament Docs (V4), Filament Docs (V5) first.

After setting up a custom theme add the following to your theme css file.

@source '../../../../vendor/agencetwogether/matomo-analytics/resources/views/**/*';
@source '../../../../vendor/agencetwogether/matomo-analytics/src/{Widgets,Support}/*';

Then rebuild your assets:

npm run build

First you need to retrieve credentials from your Matomo instance (self-hosted or cloud)

Matomo API Key

To generate a new API Key go to Administration->Personal->Security and click on Create new token button.

• Give a description as you want,
• Uncheck Only allow secure requests
• And set or no an exire date.

Matomo Base Url

Copy Url of your instance with http or https prefix and remove slash (/) at the end. For example, your base Url must be like : https://analyse.domain.com

Matomo ID Site

To retrieve ID of your website you want to track, go to Administration->Websites->Manage and copy the ID below site name.

After that, add these credentials to the .env for your Filament PHP app:

MATOMO_API_KEY=
MATOMO_BASE_URL=
MATOMO_ID_SITE=

For example, it might look like this

MATOMO_API_KEY="d26fa64666d15073d9a8e49101422c06"
MATOMO_BASE_URL="https://analyse.domain.com"
MATOMO_ID_SITE=1

            MatomoAnalyticsPlugin::make()
        ]);
}

Usage

You can display the widgets in several ways:

1. In the default Filament Dashboard
2. In the Dashboard provided by the plugin
3. In a custom Dashboard
4. In any page or resource

To manage these displays, publish the configuration file:

 php artisan vendor:publish --tag=matomo-analytics-config

Then modify the settings depending on your use case.

1. Default Filament Dashboard

For the desired widget, set the value filament_dashboard to true
Example:

'widgets' => [
    'page_views' => [
        'filament_dashboard' => true,
        // ..
    ],
],

2. Dashboard provided by the plugin

Ensure dedicated_dashboard is set to true in config file to show dashboard provided by the plugin.
For the desired widget, set the value plugin_dashboard to true
Example:

'widgets' => [
    'visits_by_browser_list' => [
        // ..
        'plugin_dashboard' => true,
        // ..
    ],

    'most_visited_pages' => [
        // ..
        'plugin_dashboard' => true,
        // ..
    ],
],

3. Custom Dashboard

Though this plugin comes with a default dashboard, but sometimes you might want to change navigationLabel or navigationGroup or personalize some widgets or any other options.
The easiest solution would be to disable the default dashboard and create a new page.

First, create a page using the command:

php artisan make:matomo-page MyCustomDashboardPage

This page extends the base page MatomoBaseAnalyticsDashboard and implement the HasMatomoWidgets interface.

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Pages;

use Agencetwogether\MatomoAnalytics\Contracts\HasMatomoWidgets;
use Agencetwogether\MatomoAnalytics\Pages\MatomoBaseAnalyticsDashboard;
use Agencetwogether\MatomoAnalytics\Widgets;

class MyCustomDashboardPage extends MatomoBaseAnalyticsDashboard implements HasMatomoWidgets
{
    protected static ?string $title = 'My Custom Dashboard';
    
    public function getMatomoWidgets(): array
    {
        return [
            Widgets\PageViewsWidget::class,
            Widgets\VisitorsWidget::class,
            //Add other widgets
        ];
    }
}

You must register the widgets you want to show in the getMatomoWidgets() method and set their custom_pages values to true in the configuration file.
Example:

'widgets' => [
    'page_views' => [
        // ..
        'custom_pages' => true,
    ],
    'visitors' => [
        // ..
        'custom_pages' => true,
    ],
],

4. Other Page or Resource page

You have to register the desired widgets in the page’s getHeaderWidgets() or getFooterWidgets() method.

use Agencetwogether\MatomoAnalytics\Widgets;

protected function getHeaderWidgets(): array
{
    return [
        Widgets\VisitsByCountryWidget::class,
        Widgets\VisitsByCityWidget::class,
    ];
}

And in the configuration file, set the custom_pages value to true for the selected widgets.
Example:

'widgets' => [
    'visits_by_country' => [
        // ..
        'custom_pages' => true,
    ],
    'visits_by_city' => [
        // ..
        'custom_pages' => true,
    ],
],

Manage cache

By default, responses from requests to the Matomo server are cached to avoid sending too many requests and to optimize widget rendering.
You can enable or disable caching widgets and set custom time to cache per filter (in minutes). See config file to manage this feature.

[!NOTE]
If the Matomo server request fails or is unavailable, a widget will appear indicating that the data may be outdated or empty. However, the cache still allows the data from the last successful synchronization to be displayed (only in default Filament Dashboard, Dashboard provided by the plugin and Custom Dashboard)

Preview
