But according to Sending Telemetry to the Azure Portal in the readme I should be using: appInsights.trackEvent({name: 'some event'});

Also, the API reference for trackEvent says it takes in an ITelemetryEvent which is defined as:

export interface IEventTelemetry extends IPartC {
    /**
     * @description An event name string
     * @type {string}
     * @memberof IEventTelemetry
     */
    name: string;

When I search through the code I see tests that are passing strings not objects:

Steps to Reproduce

• OS/Browser:
• SDK Version: Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore (2.8.1) via NuGet
• How you initialized the SDK: I didn’t directly, I just add app insights to my ASP.NET Core project via Visual Studio and it wired up the magic. Looks like it added @inject Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore.JavaScriptSnippet JavaScriptSnippet to my _'Layout.cshtml’ file.

Expected behavior

Hi @spottedmahn. We’re going to be releasing an update to AspNetCore probably next week (2.12-Beta2) with the stable release coming in December.

Actually that nuget package may be updated with the latest JS SDK soon. This PR was just merged to move it to the latest https://github.com/microsoft/ApplicationInsights-dotnet/pull/1276#event-2758134114
