Eventy

Super simple event tracking in Rails. Record arbitrary events, associate them with a user or account, and record any associated properties.

Currently, Eventy ships with two backends: active_record, and active_record_hstore.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'eventy'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Next, run the Rails generator to create a migration for your desired backend (either active_record or active_record_hstore):

$ bundle exec rails generate eventy:active_record

You may need to modify this migration. Then run the migration:

$ bundle exec rake db:migrate

Finally, configure eventy to use your preferred backend:

# config/initializers/eventy.rb
Eventy.configure(backend: :active_record)

Usage

Record events by calling Eventy.record(event_name, unique_identifier, attributes):

Eventy.record('account:signup', session[:unique_id], { referrer: 'Facebook' })
Eventy.record('response:create', current_account.unique_id)
Eventy.record('response:create', current_account.unique_id)

You can name your events however you like, associate them with whatever unique identifier you like, and assign them arbitrary properties. Simple.
