This module provides tools to analyze user journeys from initial contact to conversion (e.g., sign-up, purchase).
## Endpoints & Components
### 1. FastAPI Event Tracking Endpoint
This endpoint records user interactions in the conversion funnel.
```python
from fastapi import APIRouter, HTTPException
from pydantic import BaseModel
from datetime import datetime
import logging
from typing import Optional
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
router = APIRouter()
class EventTrackingData(BaseModel):
user_id: str
event_type: str # "view", "click", "signup", "purchase"
timestamp: datetime
properties: Optional[dict] = None
@router.post("/track-event")
async def track_event(event_data: EventTrackingData):
"""
Track a conversion funnel event.
Args:
event_data (EventTrackingData): Event data to record
Returns:
dict: Confirmation of event recording
"""
try:
# Implementation logic here (save to database, etc.)
logger.info(f"Event tracked for user {event_data.user_id}")
return {"status": "success", "message": "Event recorded successfully"}
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Error tracking event: {str(e)}")
raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))
2. React Conversion Funnel UI
A simple React component to display conversion funnel performance.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { LineChart, Line, XAxis, YAxis, CartesianGrid, Tooltip, Legend } from 'recharts';
interface FunnelStep {
step: string;
users: number;
dropoff?: number;
}
export default function ConversionFunnel() {
const [dateRange, setDateRange] = useState([new Date(), new Date()]);
const data = [
{ step: 'Awareness', users: 1000 },
{ step: 'Interest', users: 750 },
{ step: 'Consideration', users: 600 },
{ step: 'Conversion', users: 450 }
];
const calculateMetrics = () => {
return data.map((step, index) => ({
...step,
dropoff: index > 0 ? (data[index - 1].users - step.users) : null
}));
};
return (
<div className="funnel-container">
<div className="date-picker">
<label>Filter by date range:</label>
<input
type="date"
value={dateRange[0].toISOString().split('T')[0]}
onChange={(e) => {
const newDate = new Date(e.target.value);
setDateRange([newDate, newDate]);
}}
/>
</div>
<h2>Conversion Funnel</h2>
<LineChart width={800} height={400} data={calculateMetrics()}>
<CartesianGrid strokeDasharray="3 3" />
<XAxis dataKey="step" />
<YAxis />
<Tooltip />
<Legend />
<Line type="monotone"
dataKey="users"
stroke="#8884d8"
dot={false}
/>
</LineChart>
</div>
);
}
