Screenshot below sums up the look and feel on offer:\n\n![](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/api/aws/s3/site-content/b562a98a-25a1-4bf7-9bfc-608cd6d89af0.jpeg)\n\n\n### What was done\n- Beacon injects beacon.min.js with the site's beacon token at app startup when\nWeb Analytics is enabled\n- System Settings holds two separate fields: Beacon Token (the data-cf-beacon\ntoken) and Site Tag (the RUM site tag used for analytics queries)\n- Web Vitals uses the rumWebVitalsEventsAdaptiveGroups sum aggregates\n- No in-app create-site button: Cloudflare's RUM site_info REST API rejects the\nscoped API token NGX uses, so sites are created in the Cloudflare dashboard and\nlinked by pasting the Beacon Token and Site Tag\n\n### Bundled with this work, a codebase-wide typing cleanup:\n\n- Convert all string-literal union types to string TypeScript enums; values are\nunchanged so wire, Mongo and query-string values are preserved\n- Add an ESLint rule banning string-literal union types\n- Relocate enums and stray exported interfaces/types into *.model.ts files","contentHtml":"
