What is analytics-node?

The analytics-node npm package is a client for Segment's server-side analytics. It allows you to send data to Segment from your Node.js applications, enabling you to track user actions, identify users, and manage groups. This data can then be routed to various analytics and marketing tools.

What are analytics-node's main functionalities?

Track

The `track` method allows you to record any actions your users perform. This is useful for tracking events like purchases, sign-ups, or any other user activity.

const Analytics = require('analytics-node');
const analytics = new Analytics('YOUR_WRITE_KEY');

analytics.track({
  userId: 'user123',
  event: 'Item Purchased',
  properties: {
    item: 'Sword of Truth',
    price: 300
  }
});

Identify

The `identify` method is used to associate user data with a specific user ID. This helps in creating a user profile with traits like name, email, and other custom attributes.

const Analytics = require('analytics-node');
const analytics = new Analytics('YOUR_WRITE_KEY');

analytics.identify({
  userId: 'user123',
  traits: {
    name: 'John Doe',
    email: 'john.doe@example.com',
    plan: 'premium'
  }
});

Group

The `group` method allows you to associate a user with a group, such as a company or organization. This is useful for B2B applications where you need to track users within the context of their organization.

const Analytics = require('analytics-node');
const analytics = new Analytics('YOUR_WRITE_KEY');

analytics.group({
  userId: 'user123',
  groupId: 'group123',
  traits: {
    name: 'Company XYZ',
    industry: 'Technology'
  }
});

Page

The `page` method is used to record page views on your website. This is useful for tracking which pages users are visiting and how they navigate through your site.

const Analytics = require('analytics-node');
const analytics = new Analytics('YOUR_WRITE_KEY');

analytics.page({
  userId: 'user123',
  category: 'Docs',
  name: 'Node.js Library',
  properties: {
    url: 'https://example.com/docs/node'
  }
});

Alias

The `alias` method is used to merge two user identities, effectively linking an anonymous user with an identified user. This is useful when a user signs up or logs in, and you want to associate their previous anonymous actions with their new identified profile.

const Analytics = require('analytics-node');
const analytics = new Analytics('YOUR_WRITE_KEY');

analytics.alias({
  previousId: 'temp123',
  userId: 'user123'
});
