Quick Start

1. Download the latest component version from our releases page
2. Place the posthog.wasm file in your server (e.g., /var/edgee/components)
3. Add the following configuration to your edgee.toml:

Event Handling

The component maps Edgee events to PostHog Event as follows:

Edgee Event	PostHog Event	Description
Page	$pageview	pageview event with url as property
Track	Your event name	A event with your custom event name
