CakePHP Mixpanel Plugin
=======================

[](#cakephp-mixpanel-plugin)

This plugin provides a Mixpanel component to track events from your controllers using the official [Mixpanel PHP library](https://github.com/mixpanel/mixpanel-php).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 5.6
- CakePHP >= 3.0

How to Install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

```
composer require okatsuralau/cakephp-mixpanel@1.0.0

```

How to Use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Load the plugin in your `config/bootstrap.php` file:

```
Plugin::load('CakephpMixpanel');

```

Add the plugin configurations in your `config/app.php` or `config/app_custom.php` file:

```
return [
    //...

    'Mixpanel' => [
        'token' => YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
    ]
]
```

Load the component in your `src/Controller/AppController.php`

```
public function initialize()
{
    parent::initialize();

    $this->loadComponent('CakephpMixpanel.Mixpanel');
}
```

and (optionally) add the following code to your `beforeFilter()` method to identify the users actions

```
public function beforeFilter(\Cake\Event\Event $event)
{
    // if a user is logged in
    $this->Mixpanel->identify($user_id);
    $this->Mixpanel->name_tag($user_name);
    $this->Mixpanel->register($superProperties);

    /* To make use of the people API */
    $this->Mixpanel->people($this->Auth->user('id'), array(
        '$username' => $this->Auth->user('username'),
        '$email' => $this->Auth->user('email'),
        '$created' => $this->Auth->user('created'),
        '$last_login' => $this->Auth->user('connected'),
        'my_custom_var' => $my_custom_var,
    ));

    // ...

    parent::beforeFilter($event);
}
```

To register an event, put the following code in your controller action. `src/Controller/PostController.php`

```
public function index()
{
    // ...

    $this->Mixpanel->track(
        'Post list',
        [
            'author' => $this->Auth->user('name'),
            'category' => 'Post',
        ]
    );
}

public function create()
{
    if ($this->request->is('post')) {

        // ...

        $this->Mixpanel->track(
            'Post Created',
            [
                'author' => $this->Auth->user('name'),
                'category' => 'Post',
            ]
        );

        $this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
    }
}
```

This should be enough to start sending events to Mixpanel.
