The useUser() hook enables you to add properties and send tracking events to the current user.

​
About this hook

The hook contains the following methods:
​
track(eventName: string, properties?: Record<string, unknown>)
Promise that sends tracking events for the current user
​
addProperties(properties: Record<string, unknown>)
Promise that adds properties to the current user
Update the userID in the top-level Frigade.Provider component to change users

​
Example use cases:

  • Tracking events and adding properties to the current user for using with Targeting
  • Wrapping the track method with your existing tracking/analytics methods

​
Tracking events example

import { useUser } from "@frigade/react";

function MyComponent() {
  const { track } = useUser();

  useEffect(() => {
    track("MyComponent Viewed");
  }, []);

  return <div>My Component</div>;
}

​
Adding properties example

import { useUser } from "@frigade/react";

function MyComponent() {
  const { addProperties } = useUser();

  useEffect(() => {
    addProperties({
      email: "test@test.com",
      firstName: "John",
      lastName: "Doe",
      imageUrl: "https://example.com/image.png",
    });
  }, []);
}
Properties can also be added to the userProperties object via the Frigade.Provider component: 
<Frigade.Provider 
  apiKey="YOUR_API_KEY"
  userID="1234567890"
  userProperties={{ 
    email: "test@test.com", 
    firstName: "John", 
    lastName: "Doe", 
    imageUrl: "https://example.com/image.png" 
  }}
>
  <App />
</Frigade.Provider>
Make sure to call any Frigade hook within the context of <Frigade.Provider />
