Option to skip views from localhost?

[surjithctly]

It would be great if Umami could skip views from localhost because there might be times when we keep developing projects even after adding Analytics.

If there is an option already, please guide me. I searched existing issues but did not find any.

Either

1. modify your code to only render the tag when in production
2. or add umami.disabled = true to your browser localStorage

[adityatelange]

copy and paste in console (for anyone who does not want to do this manually)

localStorage.setItem('umami.disabled', 1)

Possible to disable it via query params like Panelbear

There is the data-domains option (https://umami.is/docs/tracker-config) for that purpose as well

I test on prod (I'm just a microblog, don't shoot!)
So using data-domains doesn't really work for me.
I've added a PR that could add the feature to both have it temporarily or set it as a localStorage option from the URI.

Ideally you would want to configure umami to filter out based on ip as well as domain. to cover both the localhost case as well as to ensure only production uses tracking, and only the ips that are not bound to you.

What I am trying to say is that it needs a exclusion setting to help filter out ips and domains.

The solution for me was to complete remove the tracking script from the sources and setting an placeholder.
When I deploy my site the placeholder will be replaced with the tracking script.
So in the development there is no tracking and only when I deploy the tracking is 'enabled'.
