How can I track an event on the server?

[Innders]

Thanks for the awesome package!

Is it possible to track events using this package from the server?

I want to track some events inside an API route.

Thanks!

Hi! Unfortunately not.

It is something I have wanted to add to the library for a long time, but I haven't. It should not be hard according to the official docs.

PRs are welcome 😉

I just turned this into a discussion for now, as I am not planning to add this feature in the short term myself.

I did something like this based on those docs which seemed to work.

const props: PlausibleEvents['signup'] = {
    provider: 'email'
};

await fetch(getURL() + '/api/event', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'User-Agent': req.headers.get('User-Agent') || ''
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    domain: 'my.domain',
    name: 'signup',
    url: '/signup',
    props: props
  })
});

Maybe I'll take a look at how this could work in the library, as this is was fast and messy.
