Using Vexo

A guide on installing and configuring Vexo for real-time user analytics.

Vexo provides real-time user analytics for your Expo application, helping you understand how users interact with your app, identify friction points, and improve engagement.

With a two-line integration, Vexo starts collecting data automatically, giving you actionable insights to optimize your app's user experience. If needed, you can also create custom events.

Getting started

1. Create an account: Sign up for a Vexo account.

2. Create a new app: You'll be prompted to create a new app. Give it a name (you can change it later), and once you submit it, you'll receive an API key.

3. Install the Vexo package: Run the following command in your project:

   npm

   yarn

   Terminal

   Copy

   - npm install vexo-analytics

   Terminal

   Copy

   - yarn add vexo-analytics

4. Initialize Vexo: Add the following code in your app's entry file (for example, index.js, App.js, or app/_layout.tsx if using Expo Router):

   app/_layout.tsx

   Copy

   import { vexo } from 'vexo-analytics';
   
   // You may want to wrap this with `if (!__DEV__) { ... }` to only run Vexo in production.
   vexo('YOUR_API_KEY');
   

5. Rebuild and run your app: Since vexo-analytics includes native code, you need to rebuild your application.

6. Verify integration: Go to your app's page on Vexo and you should see your first event!

Compatibility

• Expo: Vexo is compatible with Development builds and does not require additional configuration plugins.
• Expo Go: Not supported, as Vexo requires custom native code.
