PostHog integration for Angular applications
— the description by PostHog

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a structured approach to integrating the PostHog JavaScript SDK into Angular projects. It emphasizes creating a singleton service to wrap the SDK, ensuring SSR safety, and following best practices for environment configuration and user identification. The integration covers event tracking, session recording, and error monitoring, with specific patterns for modern Angular versions.

What it does

  • Provides a pattern for creating a singleton PostHog service in Angular.
  • Ensures SSR safety when using PostHog in Angular applications.
  • Guides the configuration of environment variables for API keys and hosts.
  • Demonstrates how to identify users during authentication flows.
  • Includes patterns for capturing custom events and tracking errors.
  • Offers guidance on initializing PostHog outside the Angular zone for performance.

When to use it

  • When you need to add product analytics to an Angular application.
  • When you want to implement session replay or error tracking in Angular.
  • When you need to identify users to link frontend events to backend data.
  • When you are setting up a new Angular project and want to include PostHog from the start.

Advantages

  • Promotes a clean, maintainable architecture using singleton services.
  • Prevents performance issues by running PostHog outside the Angular zone.
  • Ensures secure handling of API keys via environment variables.
  • Provides SSR-safe implementation patterns for universal Angular apps.

Usage examples

“How do I initialize PostHog in my Angular app?”
The skill guides you to create a PostHogService singleton and initialize it in the root component, ensuring it is ready before other components render.
“How do I track a user login in Angular with PostHog?”
The skill provides the pattern for using the identify method within your authentication service to link user sessions to specific IDs.

PostHog integration for Angular

This skill helps you add PostHog analytics to Angular applications.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order to complete the integration:

  1. basic-integration-1.0-begin.md - PostHog Setup - Begin ← Start here

  2. basic-integration-1.1-edit.md - PostHog Setup - Edit

  3. basic-integration-1.2-revise.md - PostHog Setup - Revise

  4. basic-integration-1.3-conclude.md - PostHog Setup - Conclusion

Reference files

  • references/EXAMPLE.md - Angular example project code

  • references/angular.md - Angular - docs

  • references/identify-users.md - Identify users - docs

  • references/basic-integration-1.0-begin.md - PostHog setup - begin

  • references/basic-integration-1.1-edit.md - PostHog setup - edit

  • references/basic-integration-1.2-revise.md - PostHog setup - revise

  • references/basic-integration-1.3-conclude.md - PostHog setup - conclusion

The example project shows the target implementation pattern. Consult the documentation for API details.

Key principles

  • Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys. Never hardcode them.

  • Minimal changes: Add PostHog code alongside existing integrations. Don't replace or restructure existing code.

  • Match the example: Your implementation should follow the example project's patterns as closely as possible.

Framework guidelines

  • Use inject() instead of constructor injection. PostHog service should be injected via inject() in components/services that need it.

  • Create a dedicated PosthogService as a singleton root service that wraps the PostHog SDK.

  • Always use standalone components over NgModules.

  • Configure PostHog credentials in src/environments/environment.ts files, as Angular reads environment variables from these configuration files

Identifying users

Identify users during login and signup events. Refer to the example code and documentation for the correct identify pattern for this framework. If both frontend and backend code exist, pass the client-side session and distinct ID using X-POSTHOG-DISTINCT-ID and X-POSTHOG-SESSION-ID headers to maintain correlation.

Error tracking

Add PostHog error tracking to relevant files, particularly around critical user flows and API boundaries.
