A Comprehensive Guide to Setting up Mixpanel in Vue 3 with Quasar 2

Introduction:

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on setting up Mixpanel analytics in Vue 3 with Quasar 2! In today's digital landscape, understanding user behaviour and making data-driven decisions are crucial for the success of any application. That's where Mixpanel comes in.

I successfully utilized the Vue-Mixpanel library with Vue version 3.0.0 and Quasar version 2.6.0. The Vue-Mixpanel library was fully functional and compatible with my development environment.

What is Mixpanel?

Mixpanel is a powerful tool for tracking, analyzing, and understanding user behaviour in web and mobile applications. It provides businesses with actionable insights to make data-informed decisions and optimize their applications for better user engagement and growth. Using Mixpanel, you can track a wide range of user actions, events, and behaviours, such as button clicks, page views, sign-ups, purchases, and more. This data is collected and organized in Mixpanel's dashboard, where you can visualize and analyze the information using charts, funnels, and retention reports.

Getting Started:

Step 1:Install vue-mixpanel library

The Vue-Mixpanel library is an npm package specifically designed to simplify the integration of Mixpanel analytics into Vue.js applications.

Run the below command in your project folder.

$ npm install vue-mixpanel --save

Step 2: Initialize mixpanel token in App.vue file.

App.vue

<template>
  <router-view />
</template>

<script>
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
import { createApp } from "vue";
import VueMixpanel from 'vue-mixpanel'

const app = createApp({
  // ...
});
app.use(VueMixpanel, {
  token: "yourprojecttoken",
  config: {
    debug: true
  }
})

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'App'
})
</script>

Step 3: Use it in your component.

To utilize the Vue-Mixpanel library, you can simply import the "mixpanel-browser" package and incorporate it into your component of Vue.js application.

LoginPage.vue

<script>
import mixpanel from 'mixpanel-browser';

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'LoginPage',

  created () {
    mixpanel.track('User accessed login page')
  }
})
</script>
