This code consists of two parts, each serving a specific purpose:
Part 1: cardCounter
function and the interval logic
This section implements a function to iterate over an array of texts called cards
and update a section of the HTML document with each text in sequence every 5 seconds. Here's a breakdown:
-
Variable Initialization:
b
is initialized as-1
. It keeps track of the current index in thecards
array.currentText
is declared to hold the current text being displayed from the array.
-
Function
cardCounter
:- Each time the
cardCounter
function is called:- The counter
b
is incremented (b++
). - If
b
is still within the bounds of thecards
array (b < cards.length
), thecurrentText
is updated tocards[b]
, and the content of the HTML element with ID"text"
is updated to displaycurrentText
. - If
b
exceeds the length of the array (b >= cards.length
), the counterb
is reset to-1
, and the interval started earlier is cleared to stop the automatic cycling of text.
- The counter
- Each time the
-
Interval Timer Setup:
- The
setInterval
function is called to execute thecardCounter
function every 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds). This creates an automatic loop that cycles through thecards
array every 5 seconds until the condition is met to stop it.
- The
Part 2: Google Analytics Setup
This part sets up Google Analytics tracking for the webpage. Here's the breakdown:
-
Self-Executing Anonymous Function:
- The code uses an IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) to initialize the Google Analytics object (
ga
) in the global scope.
- The code uses an IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) to initialize the Google Analytics object (
-
Google Analytics Initialization:
- The function integrates the
analytics.js
script into the webpage asynchronously (non-blocking loading) using the<script>
element. - It creates a new Google Analytics tracker with:
UA-55866702-1
as the tracking ID.'auto'
as the domain (which automatically refers to the domain of the current webpage).
- The function integrates the
-
Tracking a Pageview:
ga('send', 'pageview');
sends a pageview hit to Google Analytics to track that the webpage was visited.
What the overall code does:
-
Part 1:
- Cycles through an array of text (not shown here but assumed to exist as
cards
) every 5 seconds and updates an HTML element with each piece of text. - Stops the cycling when it reaches the end of the array.
- Cycles through an array of text (not shown here but assumed to exist as
-
Part 2:
- Sets up Google Analytics on the webpage to track user behavior and page visits.
