##How to use

The easiest way to use is to add data attributes to the elements you want to track clicks on. Setting the data-track attribute to either "true" or the name of the category you want to track the activity in. You can optionally include trackable arguments as a data attribute. If no arguments are specified, it will use the href of the a tag or if it is not an a tag it will use the id of the element.

<a href="#" data-track="myCategory" data-track-args="['argument 1', 'argument 2']">Trackable Link</a>

Manually track activity. Must specify a category and arguments to track.

ActivityTracker.track(cat, arguments);

Get the data for a specific category. If no category is specified, it will return an array with all the categories and data you have tracked.

ActivityTracker.getData(cat);
