Kirby Plugin for interfacing with Posthog

Install

git submodule add https://github.com/bnomei/kirby3-posthog.git site/plugins/kirby3-posthog or
composer require bnomei/kirby3-posthog

Setup

You can set the apikey and host in the config.

site/config/config.php

return [
    // other config settings ...
    'bnomei.posthog.apikey' => 'YOUR-KEY-HERE',
    'bnomei.posthog.host' => 'YOUR-HOST-HERE',
];

You can also set a callback if you use the dotenv Plugin.

site/config/config.php

return [
    // other config settings ...
    'bnomei.posthog.apikey' => function() { return env('POSTHOG_APIKEY'); },
    'bnomei.posthog.host' => function() { return env('POSTHOG_HOST'); },
];

Javascript

Output the tracking Javascript via the snippet included in the plugin.

  <?php snippet('posthog'); ?>
  </body>
</html>

Usage

PHP track pageview

site/template/default.php

<?php
// track page view event for current kirby user or identified posthog user
$page->posthogCapturePageView();

// be careful to not have any whitespace before <html>
><html>
    <!-- ... --->
</html>

PHP helper function

Use the posthog()-helper to access Posthog. You can use all methods from the Posthog PHP library.

<?php

posthog()->capture([
    'distinctId' => site()->posthogDistinctId(),
    'event' => 'movie played',
    'properties' => array(
        'movieId' => '123',
        'category' => 'romcom'
    )
])

In addition to the posthog()-helper this plugin adds the following features to the original library.

Disabled on localhost by default
Cache for Feature Flag list - it would otherwise send a http request to your posthog instance every time you access the list. It still will send one for every feature flag check.

Warning

Using the static class from the official Posthog docs is not supported.
