Migrating from Segment to RudderStack

1. Change the dependencies in the Podfile of your project:

pod 'Rudder'

2. Update your SDK initialization to the following. Replace WRITE_KEY and DATA_PLANE_URL with your source write key and data plane URL obtained above.

RudderConfigBuilder *builder = [[RudderConfigBuilder alloc]init];
[builder withDataPlaneUrl:<data_plane_url>];
[RudderClient getInstance:<write_key> config:[builder build]];

The instance of the RudderClient is available at [RudderClient sharedInstance] whereas the Segment Instance is available at [Analytics sharedAnalytics]

3. Update the imports from Analytics.h to Rudder.h wherever necessary

4. Update the use of the classes according to the table below:

You can use the rest of your code without any changes as the RudderStack API is fully compatible with Segment.

1. Add the SDK to your web application:

<script>
	rudderanalytics = window.rudderanalytics = [];

	var methods = [
		"load",
		"page",
		"track",
		"identify",
		"reset"
	];
	for (var i=0; i<methods.length; i++) {
		var method = methods[i];
		rudderanalytics[method] = function(methodName) {
			return function() {
				rudderanalytics.push([methodName, ...arguments]);
			}
		} (method)
	}
	rudderanalytics.load(<WRITE_KEY>, <DATA_PLANE_URL>);
	rudderanalytics.page();
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.rudderlabs.com/v1.1/rudder-analytics.min.js"></script>

For the minified version of the above script, see the JavaScript SDK documentation. If you are using an older version of the JavaScript SDK (v1), see the migration guide to migrate to v1.1.

2. Update the object. RudderStack uses rudderanalytics as the global object library as compared to Segment’s analytics object.

You can use the rest of your code without any changes as the RudderStack API is fully compatible with Segment.

1. Change your .NET project’s Dependencies to include the RudderAnalytics package via NuGet

2. initialize the RudderStack client by running the following code snippet. Replace WRITE_KEY and DATA_PLANE_URL with your source write key and data plane URL obtained above.

using RudderStack;

RudderAnalytics.Initialize(
     <write_key>,
     new RudderConfig(dataPlaneUrl: <data_plane_url>)
);

You can use the rest of your code without any changes as the RudderStack API is fully compatible with Segment.

1. Install the RudderStack React Native SDK by running the following command:

// npm
npm install @rudderstack/rudder-sdk-react-native --save
// yarn
yarn add @rudderstack/rudder-sdk-react-native
// navigate to iOS folder and run pod install
pod install

2. Import the React Native SDK.

import rudderClient from "@rudderstack/rudder-sdk-react-native"

3. Change the SDK initialization as shown in the following snippet. Replace WRITE_KEY and DATA_PLANE_URL with your source write key and data plane URL obtained above.

await rudderClient.setup(<write_key>, {
  dataPlaneUrl: <data_plane_url>,
  trackLifecycleEvents: true,
  recordScreenViews: true,
})

4. Update the references to the analytics keyword in your application code with rudderClient.

You can use the rest of your code without any changes as the RudderStack API is fully compatible with Segment.
