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'
});
