Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
@amplitude/analytics-core
Advanced tools
@amplitude/analytics-core is a core library for Amplitude's analytics tracking. It provides essential functionalities for tracking events, user properties, and managing user sessions. This package is designed to be lightweight and flexible, making it suitable for various environments and use cases.
Event Tracking
This feature allows you to track events within your application. The code sample demonstrates how to initialize the Amplitude client and log a 'button_click' event with associated properties.
const amplitude = require('@amplitude/analytics-core');
const client = amplitude.init('YOUR_API_KEY');
client.logEvent({
event_type: 'button_click',
event_properties: {
button_name: 'signup'
}
});
User Identification
This feature allows you to identify users and set user properties. The code sample shows how to set a user ID and user properties such as age and gender.
const amplitude = require('@amplitude/analytics-core');
const client = amplitude.init('YOUR_API_KEY');
client.setUserId('user_12345');
client.setUserProperties({
age: 25,
gender: 'female'
});
Session Management
This feature allows you to manage user sessions. The code sample demonstrates how to start and end a session using the Amplitude client.
const amplitude = require('@amplitude/analytics-core');
const client = amplitude.init('YOUR_API_KEY');
client.startSession();
// Perform some actions
client.endSession();
Mixpanel is a powerful analytics tool that provides event tracking, user identification, and advanced data analysis features. Compared to @amplitude/analytics-core, Mixpanel offers more advanced data visualization and analysis tools but may be more complex to set up and use.
Segment is a customer data platform that allows you to collect, clean, and control your customer data. It supports event tracking and user identification similar to @amplitude/analytics-core but also integrates with a wide range of other analytics and marketing tools, providing a more comprehensive data management solution.
Google Analytics is a widely-used web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic. While it offers event tracking and user identification, it is primarily focused on web analytics and may not provide the same level of flexibility and customization as @amplitude/analytics-core for application-specific tracking.
