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' %>
