Option to disable sending events and only log them

[TriPSs]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

During development it would be quite handy if we could disable the actual sending of events and only log what would have been send.

This will make implementing PostHog events easier and wont pollute the dashboard with test data.

Hey, @TriPSs!

This is supported already in the main library version, check https://posthog.com/docs/libraries/js#or-send-no-events-while-developing out. I suggest you use that library for more advanced use cases. It was actually added as a follow-up to a request of yours: PostHog/posthog-js#1320.

I'll keep this issue open because I see the benefit of eventually porting that feature to the lite version

[TriPSs]

Aah, I thought that lib was only for web and not for node/backend/server events?

Ah, I apologize, you're interested in the node version, you made that clear in the description, but I skipped over it. In that case, you're correct, this should be implemented in here, and I'll keep this one open :)
