5 | | -Use [script tag](/docs/sdks/script) or [Web SDK](/docs/sdks/web) for now. We'll add a dedicated react sdk soon. |
| 2 | +## About |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +The React SDK provides a clean, idiomatic way to use OpenPanel in React applications. Built on `@openpanel/sdk`, it follows the same architecture as the React Native SDK and includes: |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +- ✅ React Context API with `useOpenPanel()` hook |
| 7 | +- ✅ Full TypeScript support |
| 8 | +- ✅ SSR-safe (Next.js App Router & Pages Router) |
| 9 | +- ✅ Zero configuration with environment variables |
| 10 | +- ✅ Re-exports all SDK types and utilities |
| 11 | + |

| 14 | +<Steps> |
| 15 | +### Install dependencies |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +<Tabs items={['npm', 'pnpm', 'yarn']}> |
| 18 | + <Tab value="npm"> |
| 19 | + ```bash |
| 20 | + npm install @openpanel/react |
| 21 | + ``` |
| 22 | + </Tab> |
| 23 | + <Tab value="pnpm"> |

| 31 | + ``` |
| 32 | + </Tab> |
| 33 | +</Tabs> |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +This package requires React 18+ or React 19+. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Initialize |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Wrap your app with the `OpenPanelProvider` in your root component. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +<Tabs items={['Next.js App Router', 'Next.js Pages Router', 'React']}> |
| 42 | + <Tab value="Next.js App Router"> |
| 43 | + ```tsx title="app/layout.tsx" |
| 44 | + import { OpenPanelProvider } from '@openpanel/react'; |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + export default function RootLayout({ |
| 47 | + children |

| 96 | + ); |
| 97 | + } |
| 98 | + ``` |
| 99 | + </Tab> |
| 100 | +</Tabs> |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +### Using Environment Variables |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +The provider automatically reads from environment variables if no `clientId` prop is provided: |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +```tsx |
| 107 | +<OpenPanelProvider> |
| 108 | + {children} |
| 109 | +</OpenPanelProvider> |
| 110 | +``` |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +Create a `.env.local` file (Next.js) or `.env` file: |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +```bash title=".env.local" |
| 115 | +NEXT_PUBLIC_OPENPANEL_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here |
| 116 | +``` |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +The SDK checks for (in order): |
| 119 | +1. `NEXT_PUBLIC_OPENPANEL_CLIENT_ID` (Next.js client-side) |
| 120 | +2. `OPENPANEL_CLIENT_ID` (server-side or other environments) |

| 128 | + |
| 129 | +## Usage |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +### Client Components |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +Use the `useOpenPanel()` hook in any component wrapped by the provider: |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +```tsx title="components/subscribe-button.tsx" |
| 136 | +'use client'; |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +import { useOpenPanel } from '@openpanel/react'; |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +export function SubscribeButton() { |
| 141 | + const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | + const handleClick = () => { |
| 144 | + op?.track('button_clicked', { |
| 145 | + button_name: 'subscribe', |
| 146 | + page: 'homepage' |
| 147 | + }); |
| 148 | + }; |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | + return <button onClick={handleClick}>Subscribe</button>; |
| 151 | +} |
| 152 | +``` |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +### Tracking Events |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +Track custom events with properties: |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +```tsx |
| 159 | +const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +op?.track('purchase', { |
| 162 | + product_id: 'prod-123', |
| 163 | + amount: 99.99, |
| 164 | + currency: 'USD' |
| 165 | +}); |
| 166 | +``` |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +### Identifying Users |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +Identify users to associate events with specific profiles: |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +```tsx |
| 173 | +const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +op?.identify({ |
| 176 | + profileId: 'user-123', |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | + name: 'John Doe', |
| 179 | + properties: { |
| 180 | + plan: 'premium', |
| 181 | + company: 'Acme Inc' |
| 182 | + } |
| 183 | +}); |
| 184 | +``` |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +### Setting Global Properties |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +Set properties that will be sent with every event: |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +```tsx |
| 191 | +const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +op?.setGlobalProperties({ |
| 194 | + app_version: '1.0.2', |
| 195 | + environment: 'production' |
| 196 | +}); |
| 197 | +``` |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +### Incrementing Properties |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +Increment a numeric property on a user profile: |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +```tsx |
| 204 | +const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +op?.increment({ |
| 207 | + profileId: 'user-123', |
| 208 | + property: 'page_views', |
| 209 | + value: 1 |
| 210 | +}); |
| 211 | +``` |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +### Decrementing Properties |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +Decrement a numeric property on a user profile: |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +```tsx |
| 218 | +const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +op?.decrement({ |
| 221 | + profileId: 'user-123', |
| 222 | + property: 'credits', |
| 223 | + value: 5 |
| 224 | +}); |
| 225 | +``` |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +### Clearing User Data |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +Clear the current user's data (useful for logout): |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +```tsx |
| 232 | +const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +op?.clear(); |
| 235 | +``` |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +## Server-Side Rendering (SSR) |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +The provider is SSR-safe and works seamlessly with Next.js: |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +- ✅ OpenPanel client only initializes in the browser |
| 242 | +- ✅ No hydration errors |
| 243 | +- ✅ Safe to use in Server Components (wrap client components that use the hook) |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +### Example with Server Component |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | +```tsx title="app/page.tsx" |
| 248 | +import { AnalyticsButton } from './analytics-button'; |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +export default function Page() { |
| 251 | + return ( |
| 252 | + <div> |
| 253 | + <h1>My Page</h1> |
| 254 | + <AnalyticsButton /> |
| 255 | + </div> |
| 256 | + ); |
| 257 | +} |
| 258 | +``` |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +```tsx title="app/analytics-button.tsx" |
| 261 | +'use client'; |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +import { useOpenPanel } from '@openpanel/react'; |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +export function AnalyticsButton() { |
| 266 | + const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | + return ( |
| 269 | + <button onClick={() => op?.track('button_click')}> |
| 270 | + Click Me |
| 271 | + </button> |
| 272 | + ); |
| 273 | +} |
| 274 | +``` |
| 275 | + |
| 276 | +## TypeScript Support |
| 277 | + |
| 278 | +All types from `@openpanel/sdk` are re-exported for your convenience: |
| 279 | + |
| 280 | +```tsx |
| 281 | +import { |
| 282 | + useOpenPanel, |
| 283 | + type OpenPanelOptions, |
| 284 | + type TrackProperties |
| 285 | +} from '@openpanel/react'; |
| 286 | + |
| 287 | +const properties: TrackProperties = { |
| 288 | + product_id: 'prod-123', |
| 289 | + amount: 99.99 |
| 290 | +}; |
| 291 | + |
| 292 | +const op = useOpenPanel(); |
| 293 | +op?.track('purchase', properties); |
| 294 | +``` |
| 295 | + |
| 296 | +## Advanced Usage |
| 297 | + |
| 298 | +### Server-Side Tracking (Next.js) |
| 299 | + |
| 300 | +For server-side event tracking in Next.js, use the JavaScript SDK directly: |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +```tsx title="utils/op.ts" |
| 303 | +import { OpenPanel } from '@openpanel/sdk'; |
| 304 | + |
| 305 | +export const opServer = new OpenPanel({ |
| 306 | + clientId: 'your-client-id', |
| 307 | + clientSecret: 'your-client-secret', |
| 308 | +}); |
| 309 | +``` |
| 310 | + |
| 311 | +Then use it in server components or API routes: |
| 312 | + |
| 313 | +```tsx title="app/api/subscribe/route.ts" |
| 314 | +import { opServer } from '@/utils/op'; |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +export async function POST() { |
| 317 | + await opServer.track('user_subscribed', { |
| 318 | + plan: 'premium' |
| 319 | + }); |
| 320 | + |
| 321 | + return Response.json({ success: true }); |
| 322 | +} |
| 323 | +``` |
| 324 | + |
| 325 | +For more information on server-side tracking, refer to the [Next.js SDK](/docs/sdks/nextjs#server-side) documentation. |
