Using Mixpanel via proxy with Next.js rewrites

1

Next.js

I didn't see any great resources out there for setting up Mixpanel specifically in Next.js using their built-in Rewrites feature to accomplish the same goal as setting up a proxy. Using rewrites, I was able to keep all Mixpanel requests going through the same domain as my website/app, and didn't need to deal with configuring Nginx myself (I'm hosting on Vercel, so I don't normally have to touch webserver config).

Mixpanel

Mixpanel has great documentation for setting up your project in many different languages, including JavaScript. They also provide docs and examples for implenting tracking with a proxy. Setting up Mixpanel through a proxy is useful to bypass ad and tracking blockers, and is a nice way to keep all client requests through your domain.
