Elixir

This library was built by the community and is not maintained by the PostHog core team.

This library provides an Elixir HTTP client for PostHog. See the repository for more information.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding posthog to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:posthog, "~> 0.1"}
  ]
end

Configuration

config :posthog,
  api_url: "<ph_instance_address>",
  api_key: "<ph_project_api_key>"

Optionally, you can pass in a :json_library key. The default JSON parser is Jason.

Usage

Call Posthog.capture() with an event name and distinct_id as a property to capture an event. You can also pass in any other properties, including person and group properties, as a map.

Posthog.capture("login", %{
  distinct_id: user.id,
  email: user.email,
  plan: user.plan,
  "$set": %{
    email: user.email,
    proUser: false,
    "$groups": %{
      organization: "twitter"
    }
  },
  "$set_once": %{
    user_first_location: "colorado"
  }
})

To capture multiple events at once, use Posthog.batch().

Posthog.batch([{"login", [distinct_id: user.id], nil}])
