React Native SDK

@cohorly/react-native is a standalone React Native client. It has no hard dependency on react-native or any storage library - it works out of the box with an in-memory store and upgrades to persistent storage when you inject one.

Install

bash
pnpm add @cohorly/react-native
# recommended, for persistence across app restarts
pnpm add @react-native-async-storage/async-storage

Initialize

Call init() once near app launch. Inject AsyncStorage so the distinct id, queued events, and super properties survive restarts.

ts
import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage";
import { init, track, identify, register, people } from "@cohorly/react-native";

init({
  apiHost: "https://api.cohorly.com",
  token: "YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN",
  storage: AsyncStorage, // omit to fall back to in-memory storage
});

register({ app_version: "1.2.0" });
track("Screen Viewed", { screen: "Home" });
identify("user_123");
people.set({ plan: "pro" });

Without storage, the client uses InMemoryStorage (also exported), which works but loses the distinct id, queue, and super properties on every app restart.

API

MemberSignatureNotes
init(options) => CohorlyClientapiHost required; token, storage, flushInterval, flushAt, fetch, disabled optional.
track(event, properties?) => voidQueue an event.
identify(distinctId) => voidLocal only - this package does not send an /alias call.
reset() => voidClears identity, super properties, and un-flushed events.
register / unregister(props) / (key)Super properties merged into every event.
people.*set / setOnce / increment / unset / deleteUserQueued and sent to /engage.
flush() => Promise<void>Manual flush.
getDistinctId() => stringCurrent distinct id.
!

Note the People delete method here is people.deleteUser() (not delete), and identify() is local only - it does not emit an /alias request like the web SDK does.

Batching

Events are queued and flushed automatically every 5 seconds or once 20 events have accumulated - both configurable via flushInterval and flushAt. Queued events are persisted to storage, so nothing is lost if the app closes before a flush. You can also construct new CohorlyClient(options) directly for multiple instances or dependency injection.
