Analytics Rails
Adds a helper to create the google analytics script in rails.
Why
I did this gem to:
- Have a simple but versatile way to include google analytics.
Install
Put this line in your Gemfile:
gem 'analytics-rails'
Then bundle:
$ bundle
Usage
Include tag must be added before any other tag in order to work and only will be shown in production.
Include
In your layout add a line like this in your head:
<%= google_analytics_include_tag 'UA-000000-01' %>
You can add metrics if you want:
<%= google_analytics_include_tag 'UA-000000-01', category: 'products' %>
Events
To send events add a line like this with the category and action:
<%= google_analytics_event_tag 'Video', 'play' %>
You can add label, value and other options too if you want:
<%= google_analytics_event_tag 'Video', 'play', 'demo.mp4', 42, category: 'product' %>
Contributing
Any issue, pull request, comment of any kind is more than welcome!
I will mainly ensure compatibility to Rails, AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch and FreeBSD.
