Snowtype: Enhanced Client-Side Validation and Multi-Platform Support
Blog post from Snowplow
Snowtype, a tracking code generation tool, has introduced new features and enhancements aimed at improving data quality and development efficiency across various platforms, including web, mobile, and server environments. By generating type-safe code with IDE and browser warnings, Snowtype addresses issues of data accuracy and implementation efficiency, reducing the need for downstream data cleanup. It integrates with Snowplow's Data Product Studio to retrieve custom schemas and automatically generates corresponding types and tracking functions, ensuring precise tracking APIs that adhere to property and cardinality rules. Enhancements include client-side validation for schema, cardinality, and property rules, alongside expanded support for nine platforms, such as iOS, Android, and React Native. Developer experience is enhanced with IDE autocomplete, comprehensive error messages, and inline documentation, making the implementation of high-quality data collection infrastructure more straightforward and reliable, ultimately enabling faster and more confident insights.
