PoC: plausible client for server side #116

Open GWSzeto opened 9 months ago

This is a quick PoC for supporting the plausible API on the server side for nextJS

The main inspiration came from the PostHog-node library which does something similar.

Structure

Setup as a class to create a persistent client. This would be helpful for inserting context into api route handlers (ie: tRPC)
Constructor accepts the baseApiUrl. This is for the self-hosted use case
event accepts 2 parameters: name, options
- name => name of the custom event
- options => these support passing in a custom domain and url

Admittedly, this structure supports my personal use-case, but it should be translatable to other's use cases fairly well
