Instance Method Details

#thisdata_track(verb: ThisData::Verbs::LOG_IN, user: nil) ⇒ Object

Will pull request and user details from the controller, and send an event to ThisData. Arguments:

verb: (String, Required). Defaults to ThisData::Verbs::LOG_IN.
user: (Object, Optional). If you want to override the user record
  that we would usually fetch, you can pass it here.
  Unless a user is specified here we'll attempt to get the user record
    as specified in the ThisData gem configuration. This defaults to
    `current_user`.
  The object must respond to at least
    `ThisData.configuration.user_id_method`, which defaults to `id`.

Returns the result of ThisData.track (an HTTPartyResponse)
