React and UEM User Tags

[edward_prinsloo]

I have exhausted everything I know about user Tags and no joy. 

What do we use for react frontend (web browser) with nodejs backend. Also please give example. 

I am seeing user actions and distributed traces but cannot get user Tags to work.

I have asked developer to try this from another post for Mobile

"this is for mobile but les see if it applies The tag is applied by using the API Dynatrace.identifyUser(<usertag>); where <usertag> is e.g. the users email address or a user id which you want to tag the session of a user."

Note : this system wont let me add React as a label? 

The following labels are not available here: React

thanks

Hi @edward_prinsloo 

I can't understand if you mean React (web JavaScript) or React Native (Mobile).

However, I'm telling you about both.

For Web:
There are several alternatives to configure the UserTag in those cases:

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/user-tagging#user-tagging-based-on-page-source 

Options like: 

• Css selector
• JavaScript variable
• Meta tag
• Cookie value
• Query string
• Server-side request attribute

For Mobile ( Reactive native) :  
https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/react-native
@dynatrace/react-native-plugin - npm (npmjs.com)

I hope it's helpful 💪

thankyou.

Years ago I was told to only use java script, for web pages, as it was the most proficient. I could not get the tag to work as the react coder had made a mistake. It is working now. We mostly use angular and so react was new to me.
