Usage
Models
The trackable (user) model should look like something like this
“‘rb class Trackble
trackable
end “‘
Where ‘trackable` adds the following:
-
‘has_many` relation between `users` and `event_publisher_events_trackings` table
-
An instance method called ‘track_event(event)` that can be called on the user object and track event.
Controllers
Tracking events
To track events in controllers, you can use the following like in any action
“‘rb track_event(current_user, “Listing articles”) “`
#### Migrating events after logging in After the user logged in, you can use this method ‘migrate_events_after_login(current_user)` which migrates all the events for the user before logging in. It uses cookies to store the user’s ID and type to be able to track events.
If you’re using devise gem, you can use the ‘migrate_events_after_login` as follows:
“‘rb # In application_controller def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
migrate_events_after_login(resource)
super
end “‘
