middleman-google-analytics

middleman-google-analytics is a Middleman extension that generates Google Analytics tracking code, and keeps your config in config.rb, where it belongs.

Installation

• Specify the dependency in your project's Gemfile:

gem 'middleman-google-analytics', '~> 3.0'

• Activate the Google Analytics extension in your project's config.rb:

# config.rb
activate :google_analytics do |ga|
  ga.tracking_id = 'UA-XXXXXXX-X' # Replace with your property ID.
end

• In your layout, after your footer, call google_analytics_tag and include the results in the page:

Haml:

= google_analytics_tag

ERB:

<%= google_analytics_tag %>

JavaScript with ERB (js.erb):

<%= google_analytics_tag %>

Configuration

activate :google_analytics do |ga|
  # Property ID (default = nil)
  ga.tracking_id = 'UA-XXXXXXX-X'

  # Removing the last octet of the IP address (default = false)
  ga.anonymize_ip = false

  # Tracking across a domain and its subdomains (default = nil)
  ga.domain_name = 'example.com'

  # Tracking across multiple domains and subdomains (default = false)
  ga.allow_linker = false

  # Enhanced Link Attribution (default = false)
  ga.enhanced_link_attribution = false

  # Log detail messages to the console (default = false)
  ga.debug = false

  # Trace debugging will output more verbose information to the console (default = false)
  ga.debug_trace = false

  # Disable extension (default = false)
  ga.disable = true

  # Testing your implementation without sending hits (default = true) in development
  ga.test = true

  # Compress the JavaScript code (default = false)
  ga.minify = false

  # Output style - :html includes <script> tag (default = :html)
  ga.output = :js
end

Usage

Once you've bundled you should be able to run middleman as normal, and have it display the GA tracking code.
