Meteor Mixpanel

Client and Server wrapper for MixPanel with optional user tracking

Quick Start

1. meteor add yogiben:mixpanel
2. Include your token in the public object in your settings.json.

{
  "public": {
    "mixpanel": {
      "token": "18c8346c615ee36b40d3d5c267285ad0"
    }
  }
}

3. mixpanel.track('purchase, {productId: 1})

Easy Tracking of users on the client

MixPanel lets you track users.

Add this somewhere in your code e.g. /client/lib/

// Client
Meteor.startup(function() {
  Tracker.autorun(function() {
    var user = Meteor.user();
    if (!user) return;
    mixpanel.identify(user._id);

    person = {
      "Name": user.profile.firstName + ' ' + user.profile.lastName,

      // special mixpanel property names
      "$first_name": user.profile.firstName,
      "$last_name": user.profile.lastName,
      "$email": user.emails[0].address,
      "$created": user.createdAt.toISOString()
    }

    mixpanel.people.set(person);
  });
};

This is a 'one size fits all' solution. You pay want to modify this code and include it in your Meteor.startup functions instead of setting the identifyUsers property to true.

Mixpanel on the server

Biggest difference to client API is associated events with users. See the api for more details.
