import { AnalyticsProvider } from '@onthebarrelhead/lending-analytics'

const App = () => {
  return (
    <AnalyticsProvider deployableName="MyApp" deployableVersion="1.0.0" writeKey="YOUR_SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY">
      <MyComponent />
    </AnalyticsProvider>
  )
}

useAnalytics

The useAnalytics hook provides access to the analytics object within a component wrapped by the AnalyticsProvider. Example usage:

import { useAnalytics } from '@onthebarrelhead/lending-analytics'

const MyComponent = () => {
  const { analytics } = useAnalytics()

  const handleClick = () => {
    analytics.track('Button Clicked')

Versioning

Changesets is an npm module that helps with managing semantic versioning for packages. It provides a command-line interface (CLI) for creating and managing "changesets" – small files that describe changes made to a package since the last release. Changesets can be thought of as "mini-changelogs" that provide a clear and concise summary of the changes made to a package.

When contributing, use yarn changeset to describe your changes. The cli will walk you through the options and a summary.

yarn changeset

When ready to release, run: yarn changeset:version to automatically rev our package.json and generate a changelog
