Send pageviews manually (manual mode)

Turn off the automatic pageview with data-manual and send pageviews yourself with privatus.pageview(), for example after reading an A/B test variant at runtime.

# Send pageviews manually (manual mode)

> Turn off the automatic pageview with data-manual and send pageviews yourself with privatus.pageview(), for example after reading an A/B test variant at runtime.

Add `data-manual="true"` to stop the automatic pageview when the page
loads:

```html
<script defer src="https://privatusanalytics.com/js/pa.js" data-site="pa_YOURSITEID" data-manual="true"></script>
```

Then send pageviews when you decide:

```js
privatus.ready(() => {
  if (!document.body.classList.contains('preview')) {
    privatus.pageview({ props: { logged_in: isLoggedIn } })
  }
})
```

Manual mode only turns off the **first** automatic pageview. SPA
navigation tracking still runs. Add `data-spa="off"` too if you want full
control:

```html
<script defer src="https://privatusanalytics.com/js/pa.js" data-site="pa_YOURSITEID"
        data-manual="true" data-spa="off"></script>
```

## When to use it

- You want to add properties to the first pageview that aren't known until
  later (for example, after reading an A/B test variant).
- Some pages shouldn't count based on runtime logic (previews, staff
  sessions).
- Your router needs pageviews at a moment the History API doesn't reflect
  (after data loads, or on modal "pages" that change the URL with
  `replaceState`).

`privatus.pageview()` always records the current `location.href`, so
update the URL before calling it.
