Event tracking

An event is an action of the user on your product. It could be a page load, a click on a specific button, and any other actions that you want to track.

Quick and dirty code to get started with event tracking:

import ApiCaller from 'autonomous-analytics';
const clientSecret = '<your client secret>';

const caller = new ApiCaller({ clientSecret });

const eventName = 'test_event_name';
const eventParams = [
    { key: 'event_key_1', value: 'event_value_1' },
    { key: 'event_key_2', value: 'event_value_2' },
]
const platform = 'web';
const userId = 1;

const response = caller.trackEvent({
    eventName: eventName,
    userId,
    eventParams,
    platform,
});

console.log(response);
