Setting up experiments with the JS method
Get started by creating a file in your repository:
repo/lib/waves/ex1/test-object.js
Define experiment parameters in an object that's passed into Mojito.addTest(), like so:
Mojito.addTest({
id: 'ex1',
name:'Google message straight JS',
sampleRate: 1,
state: 'live',
trigger:function(test){
// Only activate and bucket users into the experiment if they come from Google
// (Runs as soon as Mojito.addTest is called)
if (document.referrer.indexOf('google.com') > -1) test.activate();
},
recipes:{
'0': {
name: 'Control'
},
'1':{
name: 'Treatment',
js: function() {
// This code will run once the test activates & the user is bucketed
alert('Hi Google user!');
}
}
}
});
That's all there is to this experiment. Many of the parameter keys and values are self explanatory, and we'll explore them in more detail after looking at the YAML approach.
Test activation & execution order
This test object will execute the trigger function as soon as Mojito.addTest() fires. Normally, you'll want to delay activation of your experiment until the page is ready, such as with: Mojito.utils.domReady(test.activate). Learn about the test execution order here and use our utilities functions to delay activation using Mutation Observers, DOM Ready, Polling functions and more.
