Implementations

impl Event

pub fn new<S: Into<String>>(event: S, distinct_id: S) -> Self

Creates a new event with the given name and distinct ID.

Examples

use better_posthog::Event;

let event = Event::new("page_view", "user_123");

pub fn new_anonymous<S: Into<String>>(event: S) -> Self

Creates a new event with a generated UUID v7 as the distinct ID.

Examples

use better_posthog::Event;

let event = Event::new_anonymous("anonymous_action");

pub fn builder() -> EventBuilder

Returns a builder for constructing an event.

Examples

use better_posthog::Event;

let event = Event::builder()
  .event("button_click")
  .distinct_id("user_456")
  .property("button_id", "submit")
  .build();

pub fn insert_property<K, V>(&mut self, key: K, value: V)

where K: Into<String>, V: Into<Value>,
