Action Tracker

Action and event trackers made easy. With this gem you can track your user actions without adding unnecessary code in your controllers.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'action_tracker'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install action_tracker

The Tracker file structure must follow the controllers names and actions

Simple add the wanted actions to track, with same name as the controller.

# app/trackers/users_tracker.rb
class UsersTracker < ActionTracker::Base
  # This file tracks UsersController

  def index; end
  def show; end
  def create; end
end

The parameters that will be send to Tracker tools can be easily customized. As the example above, is necessary to create the action, same as controllers and the return will be send to tracker tool.

# app/trackers/posts_tracker.rb
class PostsTracker < ActionTracker::Base
  # This file tracks PostsController

  def show
    {
      name: 'post-was-viewed',
      data: {
        post_id: @post.id,
        tags: @post.tags
      }
    }
  end
end
