Add UTM Referral links to swag

[vikaspotluri123]

We should add a filter to our build pipeline that adds UTM terms to swag links so sites know devSwag sent the user

@vikaspotluri123 UTM terms are just URL parameters, right? So we have to add something utm_source=devSwag to all the urls. Do I understand that correctly?

Isn't it an idea to add the parameters in the pug template (

swag-for-dev/src/pug/includes/body.pug

Line 58 in 1ec15b4

a(href=swag.reference) Check it out

)? We can just concatenate the parameters to the reference attribute.

If the filter in our build pipeline is the way to go, how would you implement it? Would you create another gulp task that runs over the swagList and mutates the reference to add the parameters, or would you add a new attribute with the UTM?

We should try to limit the amount of processing we do in the template; the template's responsible for outputting the data its provided, not necessarily mutating it

We already do some processing of the data, adding UTM terms to it could be done there.

swag-for-dev/get-data.js

Line 3 in 1ec15b4

const swagList = require('./data.json').map(swag => {

What parameters should be added to the url?

[vikaspotluri123]

utm_source, utm_campaign, utm_medium iirc

[SemperDisco]

utm_source, utm_campaign, utm_medium

Do you also know which values they should have?

I'll be able to give you an answer at some point in time, but I'm not entirely sure when! I'm not actively OSSing right now, so this will be added to the backlog
