🔌 Plugin: Segment Analytics Module

[jrusso1020]

Summary

Similar to the google analytics module there should exist an implementation of the AnalyticsApi interface for Segment which can be used for client side metric tracking and forwarding events to multiple downstream connections (like Google Analytics).

The plugin should implement and handle the general set of functionality that the Google Analytics module does

• configuration/setup of the necessary dependencies
• identify events
• navigate events
• general event tracking

These events should be translated to the necessary segment actions of identify, page, and track
