HasMetrics

Calculates metrics on ActiveRecord entries and caches them so they can be queried from a database. The calculated values are stored in another table which gets automatically created and migrated as needed.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'has_metrics'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install has_metrics

# Memoize in DB for 24 hours as an integer
has_metric :total_offer_count do
  activities.by_action(:offer).count
end

# Memoize in DB for 1 hour as an integer
has_metric :total_share_count, :every => 1.hour do
  activities.by_action(:share).count
end

# Memoize in DB for 24 hours as a float
has_metric :average_shares_per_offer, :type => :float do
  total_share_count.to_f / total_offer_count
end
