Custom Metadata Overview

While Marker.io automatically captures various metadata about the issue (page URL, browser context, console logs, …), it is also possible to pass custom metadata using the snippet code.

Note: You may also like to identify your reporters automatically.

Custom Metadata can be useful to help developers debug issues by adding more details about the current state of the application.

Custom Metadata Supported types

Supported types of custom metadata:

Custom Metadata methods

Passing custom metadata while loading your widget

Provide a customData object in your Marker.io widget config:

window.markerConfig = {
  project: "<PROJECT ID>",

  customData: {
    storeId: 123,
    storeName: 'Organic Fruits',
  }
};

Set custom metadata using `Marker.setCustomData()`

You can set the current custom metadata anytime using the dedicated method:

Marker.setCustomData({
  product: 'Banana',
  available: true,
  price: 1.23,
  stock: 131,
  brands: [
    'The Organic Corp',
    'ACME Fruits Inc',
  ],
});
