StatBoard

A simple dashboard of records created this week, this month, and all time, mountable as a Rails Engine.

Basic Configuration

1. Add gem to Gemfile:

   gem 'stat_board'
   

2. Add initializer and route:

   rails g stat_board:install
   

3. Configure models (in config/initializers/stat_board.rb):

   StatBoard.models = [User, Post, Comment]
   

Models can also be listed as strings if you encounter any loading order issues.

Routing

You can access StatBoard like this:

stat_board.root_url

Additonal Configuration

In config/initializers/stat_board.rb:

1. Title

   StatBoard.title = "YourApp Stats"
   

2. Basic Authentication

   StatBoard.username = "user"
   StatBoard.password = "pass"
   

3. Displaying Data Graphically (true by default)

   StatBoard.display_graph = true
   

4. You may provide your own reports, just place they into lib/stat_board/reports. Name of report should be *_report.rb. For example:

   # lib/stat_board/reports/day_report.rb
   module StatBoard
     module Reports
       class DayReport < Report
         def name
           "Last day"
         end
   
         def scope(model)
           super.where(["created_at > ?", 1.day.ago])
         end
       end
     end
   end
   

Issues

• Models can be specified as strings rather than constants if you encounter loading order issues.
• If you're using the Asset Pipeline, you'll need to add stat_board/bootstrap.css to your precompile paths.
• If you have config.assets.initialize_on_precompile set to false, then you will need to add stat_board/highcharts.js to your precompile paths.
