Custom page view names for SPAs

[bgc-andrew]

When I use the plugin as documented for a React SPA with router v6, the name for all page views is the page title ("React App" by default). This makes it difficult to track user progress through the application. I was able to solve this using the following telemetry initializer but this doesn't seem very elegant.

appInsights.addTelemetryInitializer((env) => { if(env.baseType === "PageviewData" || env.baseType === "PageviewPerformanceData") { env.baseData.name = window.location.pathname; } });

It would be great for developers to be able to specify how to obtain the page name rather than having to modify it after the fact with a telemetry initializer. Alternatively, if the above approach is the recommended method, adding it to the official documentation would be helpful.

Sorry, this should have been responded to a while ago...

I've created a feature request on Application Insights to provide this functionality
