PostHog supports TypeScript apps natively, without you having to compile the TypeScript yourself (although you can also do that).

Installation

To use the types in your app, you can install them as follows:

Terminal
# if using yarn
yarn add --dev @posthog/plugin-scaffold


# if using npm
npm install --save-dev @posthog/plugin-scaffold

Then, in your apps, you can use them like so:

typescript
import { PluginEvent, PluginMeta } from '@posthog/plugin-scaffold'


export function processEvent(event: PluginEvent, meta: PluginMeta) {
    if (event.properties) {
        event.properties['hello'] = 'world'
    }
    return event
}
