Flatfoot

Flatfoot is a synonym for tracker. As the name RenderTracker seemed generic, and gumshoe my favorite was taken.

This gem will help you track unused views in your application.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'flatfoot'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install flatfoot

Usage

To use this gem, just initialize it in some initializer like config/initializers/notifications.rb

then create an instance and subscribe it to ActiveSupport::Notifications events.

FLATFOOT = Flatfoot::Tracker.new(Redis.new)

ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe /render_partial.action_view|render_template.action_view/ do |name, start, finish, id, payload|
  FLATFOOT.track_views(name, start, finish, id, payload) unless name.include?('!') 
end

Start up your app and then in console you can check used views or unused views

FLATFOOT.used_views
=> ["app/views/layouts/_old_layout.html.erb",...

FLATFOOT.unused_views
=> ["app/views/something/_old_partial.html.erb",...

After making changes deploying or just to clear out the Redis size you can clear the saved data.

FLATFOOT.reset_recordings
