Knowing that Discourse is a SPA and having looked at some docs around this topic I am still not sure how to achieve this:
- we include a custom js library in the footer that interfaces with our statistics solution
- we want to enrich the stats by triggering custom events on every “page load”, e.g whenever the user navigates to a “new” page
Pseudo code:
```javascript
window.statistic = window.statistic || [];
window.statistic.push({
action: "page.ready",
data: {
page: {
path: "/c/new-to-this-forum-get-started-here/20/l/new",
country: "WW",
language: "en",
}, user: {
country: "DE",
loginStatus: "logged_in"
}
} });
```
How and where in my custom theme do I need to place the code to achieve this?
Thanks 🙂

You’ll likely want to use `onPageChange` from our [plugin API](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/85e2f673679bd88b23f3f8908241a03470eb617b/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/plugin-api.js#L722).
In a theme, you’d want to add something like this to `javascripts/discourse/api-initializers/your-initializer.js`
```js
import { withPluginApi } from "discourse/lib/plugin-api";
export default {
name: "custom-script-name",
initialize() {
withPluginApi("0.8.36", (api) => {
api.onPageChange(() => {
// script you want to fire on page change here
});
});
},
};
```

Thank you! That did the trick.
Do you also happen to know how I can get the UI language from the user’s settings?
