This library provides many of the features in the official javascript mixpanel library. It is easy to use, and fully async.
npm install mixpanel
// grab the Mixpanel factory
var Mixpanel = require('mixpanel');
// create an instance of the mixpanel client
var mixpanel = Mixpanel.init('6fd9434dba686db2d1ab66b4462a3a67');
// track an event with optional properties
mixpanel.track("my event", {
distinct_id: "some unique client id",
as: "many",
properties: "as",
you: "want"
});
mixpanel.track("played_game");
// create or update a user in Mixpanel Engage
mixpanel.people.set("billybob", {
$first_name: "Billy",
$last_name: "Bob",
$created: (new Date('jan 1 2013')).toISOString(),
plan: "premium",
games_played: 1,
points: 0
});
// set a single property on a user
mixpanel.people.set("billybob", "plan", "free");
// increment a numeric property
mixpanel.people.increment("billybob", "games_played");
// increment a numeric property by a different amount
mixpanel.people.increment("billybob", "points", 15);
// increment multiple properties
mixpanel.people.increment("billybob", {"points": 10, "games_played": 1});
// record a transaction for revenue analytics
mixpanel.people.track_charge("billybob", 39.99);
// clear a users transaction history
mixpanel.people.clear_charges("billybob");
// delete a user
mixpanel.people.delete_user("billybob");
// all functions that send data to mixpanel take an optional
// callback as the last argument
mixpanel.track("test", function(err) { if (err) throw err; });
// import an old event
var mixpanel_importer = Mixpanel.init('valid mixpanel token', {
key: "valid api key for project"
});
// needs to be in the system once for it to show up in the interface
mixpanel_importer.track('old event', { gender: '' });
mixpanel_importer.import("old event", new Date(2012, 4, 20, 12, 34, 56), {
distinct_id: 'billybob',
gender: 'male'
});
