A React Native wrapper for Segment Analytics
Installation
yarn add react-native-analytics-segment-io
react-native link react-native-analytics-segment-io
iOS
Add Analytics
framework to your Podfile.
pod 'Analytics'
Device-based integration components
To add an integration with a Device-based Connection Mode, you must manually add that integration’s dependencies to the Podfile.
pod 'Segment-Mixpanel'
pod 'Segment-GoogleAnalytics'
The wrapper will automatically register the added components in the configuration when the SDK is initialized.
Supported integrations:
Component | Podfile |
---|---|
Taplytics | pod 'Segment-Taplytics' |
Adjust | pod 'Segment-Adjust' |
Google Analytics | pod 'Segment-GoogleAnalytics' |
ComScore | pod 'Segment-ComScore' |
Amplitude | pod 'Segment-Amplitude' |
Facebook App Events | pod 'Segment-Facebook-App-Events' |
Mixpanel | pod 'Segment-Mixpanel' |
Localytics | pod 'Segment-Localytics' |
Flurry | pod 'Segment-Flurry' |
Quantcast | pod 'Segment-Quantcast' |
Crittercism | pod 'Segment-Crittercism' |
Firebase | pod 'Segment-Firebase' |
AppsFlyer | pod 'segment-appsflyer-ios' |
Branch | pod 'Segment-Branch' |
Braze (formerly Appboy) | pod 'Segment-Appboy' |
Android
Run react-native link react-native-analytics-segment-io
to add the necessary lines to the build files. Alternatively, you can do this manually with the 2 following steps:
- Add a reference to the project in
settings.gradle
:
include ':react-native-analytics-segment-io'
project(':react-native-analytics-segment-io').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-analytics-segment-io/android')
- Add the dependency to the app's
build.gradle
file:
compile project(':react-native-analytics-segment-io')
When the build files are set up to include the library, add a dependency to the Segment SDK in the app's build.gradle
file:
compile 'com.segment.analytics.android:analytics:x.x.x' // We have tested with version 4.2.6
Then sync Gradle, and add the analytics package to your Application
class:
@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new AnalyticsPackage()
);
}
Your project is now ready to start calling functions on react-native-analytics-segment-io.
enable() and disable()
The enable()
and disable()
methods are not available in the Segment SDK for Android, so they are not included in the Android version of this library.
Why you need to add the Segment SDK manually
The Segment SDK is added to the library as a provided
dependency, meaning that it is not included in the final build. That is why it is necessary to include the Segment SDK in the app's build.gradle
file. This makes it easy to update the Segment SDK from the app, and it makes the app's build configuration the source of truth when it comes to Segment.
Minimum React Native version
It is required to use React Native v0.46.4 or higher. This is because we use a feature in Java on the passed maps (.toHashMap()
) that is introduced in that version.
Device-based integration components
To add an integration with a Device-based destination, you have to manually add that integration as a dependency to the app's build.gradle
file.
For example:
compile 'com.segment.analytics.android.integrations:firebase:1.1.0'
compile 'com.segment.analytics.android.integrations:mixpanel:1.1.0'
The wrapper will automatically register the added components in the configuration when the SDK is present.
Supported integrations:
Component | Dependency |
---|---|
Braze (formerly Appboy) | com.appboy:appboy-segment-integration:2.1.0 |
AppsFlyer | com.appsflyer:segment-android-integration:1.9 |
Adjust | com.segment.analytics.android.integrations:adjust:0.3.1 |
Amplitude | com.segment.analytics.android.integrations:amplitude:1.2.1 |

Extra repositories
Some integrations require you to add an extra Maven repository to your app's build.gradle
file.
These are all of those dependencies with their repository:
repositories {
...
maven { url "http://appboy.github.io/appboy-android-sdk/sdk" } // Required for Braze (formerly Appboy)
maven { url 'https://comscore.bintray.com/Analytics' } // Required for Comscore
maven { url 'http://dl.bintray.com/countly/maven' } // Required for Countly
maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } // Required for Firebase
maven { url 'http://maven.localytics.com/public' } // Required for Localytics
}
Usage
import Analytics, { AnalyticsConstants } from 'react-native-analytics-segment-io'
- Analytics.setup(key, options)
- Analytics.identify(userId, traits)
- Analytics.track(event, properties)
- Analytics.screen(name, properties)
- Analytics.group(groupId, traits)

setup: function (key, options = {})
Initial framework setup

setup()
returns a promise to indicate whether the initialization was successful or not.
