PostHog integration for Astro hybrid rendering with both static and server-rendered pages
— 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 implementing PostHog analytics in Astro projects using hybrid rendering. It covers both client-side tracking via the PostHog web snippet and server-side event tracking using posthog-node. The guide emphasizes maintaining session continuity between static and server-rendered pages, proper environment variable management, and the use of singleton patterns for server-side clients.

What it does

  • Configures PostHog for Astro hybrid rendering environments.
  • Implements client-side tracking using a reusable Astro component.
  • Sets up server-side event tracking in API routes using posthog-node.
  • Provides patterns for maintaining session IDs across client and server boundaries.
  • Guides the configuration of Astro hybrid mode with per-page SSR opt-in.
  • Includes best practices for environment variable usage and script directive handling.

When to use it

  • When you need to add analytics to an Astro project using hybrid rendering.
  • When you require both client-side browser analytics and server-side API event tracking.
  • When you need to maintain consistent user sessions across static and SSR pages.
  • When you want to follow established patterns for PostHog integration in Astro 5.

Advantages

  • Ensures consistent tracking across hybrid rendering modes.
  • Prevents common Astro-specific integration errors like script processing issues.
  • Promotes clean code through singleton patterns and reusable components.
  • Maintains session correlation between frontend and backend events.

Usage examples

“How do I set up PostHog in my Astro hybrid project?”
The agent will guide you through creating a posthog.astro component, configuring your environment variables, and setting up the posthog-node singleton for server-side tracking.
“How do I track events from an Astro API route?”
The agent will show you how to import the posthog-node singleton and use it within your API route handlers to capture server-side events.

PostHog integration for Astro (Hybrid)

This skill helps you add PostHog analytics to Astro (Hybrid) applications.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order to complete the integration:

  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

  • 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

  • Always use the is:inline directive on PostHog script tags to prevent Astro from processing them and causing TypeScript errors

  • Use PUBLIC_ prefix for client-side environment variables in Astro (e.g., PUBLIC_POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN)

  • Create a posthog.astro component in src/components/ for reusable initialization across pages

  • Import the PostHog component in a Layout and wrap all pages with that layout

  • Use posthog-node in API routes under src/pages/api/ for server-side event tracking

  • Store the posthog-node client instance in a singleton pattern (src/lib/posthog-server.ts) to avoid creating multiple clients

  • In Astro 5, use output static (the default) with an adapter - pages are prerendered by default

  • Use export const prerender = false to opt specific pages into SSR when they need server-side rendering

  • Only pages that need server-side PostHog tracking (like API-backed forms) should opt out of prerendering

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.

PostHog Astro Hybrid Example

This is an Astro hybrid rendering example demonstrating PostHog integration with both static and on-demand rendered pages.

Hybrid mode allows you to have most pages prerendered (static) while opting specific pages into server-side rendering (SSR) when needed.

It uses:

  • Client-side: PostHog web snippet for browser analytics

  • Server-side: posthog-node for API route event tracking

This shows how to:

  • Configure Astro for hybrid rendering (static default with per-page SSR opt-in)

  • Opt specific pages into SSR with export const prerender = false

  • Keep most pages static for performance

  • Track events from API routes using posthog-node

  • Pass session IDs from client to server for unified sessions

Features

  • Hybrid rendering: Static pages by default, SSR when needed

  • API routes: Server-side endpoints for auth and event tracking

  • Dual tracking: Events captured on both client and server

  • Session continuity: Session ID passed to server via headers

  • Product analytics: Track login and burrito consideration events

  • Error tracking: Manual error capture sent to PostHog

Getting started

1. Install dependencies
npm install
# or
pnpm install
2. Configure environment variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

PUBLIC_POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN=your_posthog_project_token
PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST=https://us.i.posthog.com

Get your PostHog project token from your project settings in PostHog.

3. Run the development server
npm run dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:4321 in your browser.

Key integration points

Hybrid mode configuration (astro.config.mjs)

In Astro 5, output: 'static' is the default and supports per-page SSR opt-in. You need an adapter for the SSR pages to work:

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import node from "@astrojs/node";

export default defineConfig({
  // 'static' is the default - pages are prerendered unless they opt out
  output: "static",
  adapter: node({ mode: "standalone" }),
});
Opting a page into SSR (src/pages/burrito.astro)
---
// Opt this page into on-demand rendering (SSR)
// In hybrid mode, pages are static by default
export const prerender = false;
---
Server-side PostHog client (src/lib/posthog-server.ts)

A singleton pattern ensures only one PostHog client is created:

import { PostHog } from "posthog-node";

let posthogClient: PostHog | null = null;

export function getPostHogServer(): PostHog {
  if (!posthogClient) {
    posthogClient = new PostHog(import.meta.env.PUBLIC_POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN, {
      host: import.meta.env.PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST,
      flushAt: 1,
      flushInterval: 0,
    });
  }
  return posthogClient;
}
API route with server-side tracking (src/pages/api/events/burrito.ts)
import { getPostHogServer } from "../../../lib/posthog-server";

export const POST: APIRoute = async ({ request }) => {
  const body = await request.json();
  const sessionId = request.headers.get("X-PostHog-Session-Id");

  const posthog = getPostHogServer();
  posthog.capture({
    distinctId: body.username,
    event: "burrito_considered",
    properties: {
      $session_id: sessionId || undefined,
      source: "api",
    },
  });

  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ success: true }));
};

When to use Hybrid mode

Use hybrid mode when you want:

  • Performance: Most pages prerendered as static HTML

  • Flexibility: Some pages need server-side logic (auth, personalization)

  • API routes: Server-side endpoints for data processing
