Installation

1. Add Dependencies

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  iforevents: ^0.0.1
  iforevents_mixpanel: ^0.0.1

Then run:

flutter pub get

2. Get Mixpanel Project Token

1. Create a Mixpanel account at mixpanel.com
2. Create a new project or use an existing one
3. Find your Project Token in Project Settings → Project Details

3. No Native Configuration Required

Mixpanel integration works out of the box without any native Android or iOS configuration. The Mixpanel Flutter SDK handles all the necessary setup internally.

Usage

Basic Setup

import 'package:iforevents/iforevents.dart';
import 'package:iforevents_mixpanel/iforevents_mixpanel.dart';

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<MyApp> createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  final Iforevents iforevents = const Iforevents();

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _initializeAnalytics();
  }

  Future<void> _initializeAnalytics() async {
    await iforevents.init(integrations: [
      const MixpanelIntegration(
        token: 'YOUR_MIXPANEL_PROJECT_TOKEN',
      ),
    ]);
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Mixpanel Analytics Demo',
      home: HomeScreen(iforevents: iforevents),
    );
  }
}

User Identification

// Identify a user with custom properties
await iforevents.identify(
  event: IdentifyEvent(
    customID: 'user_123',
    properties: {
      'email': 'user@example.com',
      'name': 'John Doe',
      'plan': 'premium',
      'signup_date': '2023-01-15',
      'age': 28,
      'location': 'New York',
      'subscription_status': 'active',
    },
  ),
);

Event Tracking

// Track simple events
iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'button_clicked',
    properties: {
      'button_name': 'signup',
      'screen': 'home',
      'timestamp': DateTime.now().toIso8601String(),
    },
  ),
);

// Track user actions
iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'video_played',
    properties: {
      'video_id': 'vid_123',
      'video_title': 'Getting Started Tutorial',
      'video_duration': 120,
      'video_position': 30,
      'quality': 'HD',
    },
  ),
);

// Track ecommerce events
iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'purchase_completed',
    properties: {
      'product_id': 'prod_123',
      'product_name': 'Premium Plan',
      'price': 29.99,
      'currency': 'USD',
      'payment_method': 'credit_card',
      'discount_applied': false,
    },
  ),
);

Reset User Data

// Reset user identification and clear stored data
await iforevents.reset();

Advanced Usage

Custom Properties and Super Properties

Mixpanel allows you to set super properties that are included with every event:

// These properties will be included with every subsequent event
await iforevents.identify(
  event: IdentifyEvent(
    customID: 'user_123',
    properties: {
      'app_version': '1.2.0',
      'subscription_tier': 'premium',
      'referral_source': 'google_ads',
      'user_segment': 'power_user',
    },
  ),
);

Funnel Analysis

Track key funnel events to analyze user conversion:

// Onboarding funnel
iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'onboarding_started',
    properties: {
      'source': 'app_launch',
      'user_type': 'new_user',
    },
  ),
);

iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'onboarding_step_completed',
    properties: {
      'step_number': 1,
      'step_name': 'welcome_screen',
      'time_spent': 15,
    },
  ),
);

iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'onboarding_completed',
    properties: {
      'total_time': 120,
      'steps_completed': 4,
      'signup_method': 'email',
    },
  ),
);

A/B Testing

Track A/B test variants and outcomes:

iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'ab_test_exposure',
    properties: {
      'test_name': 'checkout_button_color',
      'variant': 'blue_button',
      'user_segment': 'new_users',
    },
  ),
);

iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'ab_test_conversion',
    properties: {
      'test_name': 'checkout_button_color',
      'variant': 'blue_button',
      'conversion_event': 'purchase_completed',
      'conversion_value': 29.99,
    },
  ),
);

User Engagement Tracking

// Session tracking
iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'session_started',
    properties: {
      'session_id': 'sess_123',
      'entry_point': 'home_screen',
    },
  ),
);

iforevents.track(
  event: TrackEvent(
    eventName: 'session_ended',
    properties: {
      'session_id': 'sess_123',
      'session_duration': 480, // seconds
      'pages_viewed': 5,
      'actions_taken': 12,
    },
  ),
);

Creating Custom Integrations

You can extend the Integration class to create your own custom integrations:

import 'package:iforevents/iforevents.dart';

class CustomMixpanelIntegration extends Integration {
  final String projectToken;
  
  const CustomMixpanelIntegration({required this.projectToken});

  @override
  Future<void> init() async {
    // IMPORTANT: Always call super.init() first due to @mustCallSuper
    await super.init();
    
    // Custom initialization logic
    Mixpanel.init(projectToken);
    print('Custom Mixpanel Integration initialized with token: $projectToken');
  }

  @override
  Future<void> identify({required IdentifyEvent event}) async {
    // IMPORTANT: Always call super.identify() first due to @mustCallSuper
    await super.identify(event: event);
    
    // Custom user identification logic
    await Mixpanel.identify(event.customID);
    
    // Set user properties with custom transformation
    final transformedProperties = <String, dynamic>{};
    for (final entry in event.properties.entries) {
      if (entry.value != null) {
        // Custom property transformation
        transformedProperties['custom_${entry.key}'] = entry.value;
      }
    }
    
    await Mixpanel.getPeople().set(transformedProperties);
    print('User identified: ${event.customID}');
  }

  @override
  Future<void> track({required TrackEvent event}) async {
    // IMPORTANT: Always call super.track() first due to @mustCallSuper
    await super.track(event: event);
    
    // Custom event tracking with filtering
    final customProperties = <String, dynamic>{};
    
    for (final entry in event.properties.entries) {
      if (entry.value != null && entry.key.startsWith('mixpanel_')) {
        // Only track properties with specific prefix
        final cleanKey = entry.key.replaceFirst('mixpanel_', '');
        customProperties[cleanKey] = entry.value;
      }
    }

    await Mixpanel.track(event.eventName, customProperties);
    print('Event tracked: ${event.eventName}');
  }

  @override
  Future<void> reset() async {
    // IMPORTANT: Always call super.reset() first due to @mustCallSuper
    await super.reset();
    
    // Custom reset logic
    await Mixpanel.reset();
    print('Mixpanel data reset');
  }

  @override
  Future<void> pageView({required PageViewEvent event}) async {
    // IMPORTANT: Always call super.pageView() first due to @mustCallSuper
    await super.pageView(event: event);
    
    // Custom page view tracking
    if (event.toRoute?.name != null) {
      await Mixpanel.track('Page View', {
        'page_name': event.toRoute!.name,
        'navigation_type': event.navigationType.toString(),
        'previous_page': event.previousRoute?.name ?? 'unknown',
      });
      print('Page view tracked: ${event.toRoute!.name}');
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

1. Event Naming Convention

• Use clear, descriptive names: signup_completed, video_played
• Be consistent across your app
• Use present tense: button_clicked not button_click

2. Property Guidelines

• Include context properties: screen_name, feature_name
• Use consistent data types
• Avoid deeply nested objects
• Include timing information when relevant

3. User Profile Management

• Update user properties when user state changes
• Use reserved properties correctly ($email, $name, etc.)
• Set user properties early in the user journey

4. Performance Optimization

• Batch events when possible using flush intervals
• Avoid tracking too frequently
• Use appropriate data types for properties

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Events not appearing in Mixpanel

   • Check your project token
   • Verify internet connection
   • Events may take a few minutes to appear

2. User profiles not updating

   • Ensure you're calling identify() before tracking events
   • Check that user properties are properly formatted

3. Missing event properties

   • Verify property names and values
   • Check for null or empty values that might be filtered

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging to troubleshoot issues:

const MixpanelIntegration(
  token: 'YOUR_TOKEN',
  // Enable logging in debug mode
);
