weirdly/segment

A modern Segment client.

A modern Segment client. Uses PSR7, PSR17, and PSR18 for transport.

Installation

Add this repository to your composer repository config.

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "git@github.com:weirdly/segment.git"
    }
  ]
}

Then require weirdly/segment.

composer require weirdly/segment

Getting Started

Create a SegmentClient instance.

You'll need to provide your own implementations of the PSR standards, or install your favourite one. Suggestions:

• symfony/http-client
• nyholm/psr7

$writeKey = 'abc123';
$httpClient = $requestFactory = $streamFactory = new Symfony\Component\HttpClient\Psr18Client();
$segmentHttpClient = new \Weirdly\Segment\Http\HttpClient($writeKey, $httpClient, $requestFactory, $streamFactory);
$client = new \Weirdly\Segment\SegmentClient($segmentHttpClient);

Usage

The main requests have shortcut methods on the client.

$client->identify('user_id', ['trait' => 'value']);
$client->track('user_id', 'Some Event', ['property' => 'value']);
$client->page('user_id', 'Page Name');
$client->screen('user_id', 'Screen Name');
$client->group('user_id', 'Group Name', ['trait' => 'value']);
$client->alias('user_id', 'previous_id');

If you don't yet know the user id, provide a unique, anonymous ID instead. Set the $anonymous argument to true.

$client->identify('user_id', ['trait' => 'value'], true);

For more fine-grained control, pass a request directly to the $client->send() method. E.g. to identify a previously anonymous user with a known user id, send an identify request with both the user id and anonymous id.

$request = \Weirdly\Segment\Request\Identify::createIdentifiedRequest('user_id')
    ->setAnonymousId('anonymous_id');
$client->send($request);

Some request classes have required arguments. When using the createAnonymousRequest() and createIdentifiedRequest() helper methods, pass required arguments after the user id.

$request = \Weirdly\Segment\Request\Track::createIdentifiedRequest('user_id', 'Event Name')

Or just instantiate the request without the helper method. The following results in an identical request to the above example.

$request = new \Weirdly\Segment\Request\Track('Event Name');
$request->setUserId('user_id');

Send multiple requests in a single batch round-trip.

$requests = [
    \Weirdly\Segment\Request\Page::createIdentifiedRequest('user_id')->setName('Page Name'),
    \Weirdly\Segment\Request\Track::createIdentifiedRequest('user_id', 'Event Name'),
];
$client->batch(...$requests);
