Package description
The posthog-node package is a Node.js library for interacting with PostHog, an open-source product analytics platform. It allows you to track events, identify users, and manage feature flags programmatically from your Node.js applications.
Track Events
This feature allows you to track events that occur in your application. The `capture` method is used to log an event with a distinct user ID and any relevant properties.
const { PostHog } = require('posthog-node');
const client = new PostHog('YOUR_API_KEY');
client.capture({
distinctId: 'user123',
event: 'user_signed_up',
properties: {
plan: 'premium'
}
});
Identify Users
This feature allows you to identify users and associate them with specific properties. The `identify` method is used to set or update user properties.
const { PostHog } = require('posthog-node');
const client = new PostHog('YOUR_API_KEY');
client.identify({
distinctId: 'user123',
properties: {
email: 'user@example.com',
name: 'John Doe'
}
});
Feature Flags
This feature allows you to manage feature flags, enabling or disabling features for specific users. The `isFeatureEnabled` method checks if a feature flag is enabled for a given user.
const { PostHog } = require('posthog-node');
const client = new PostHog('YOUR_API_KEY');
client.isFeatureEnabled('new-feature', 'user123').then(isEnabled => {
if (isEnabled) {
console.log('Feature is enabled for this user');
} else {
console.log('Feature is not enabled for this user');
}
});
