Mixpanel::Rails

Painlessly integrate your rails application with Mixpanel

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mixpanel-rails'

Configuration

Set the config.mixpanel.api_token parameter in your applications configuration or the MIXPANEL_API_TOKEN environment variable. e.g.

# config/environments/staging.rb
config.mixpanel.token = 'XYZ'
config.mixpanel.options = {:async => true}

Want to use the middleware for tracking with JavaScript?

# config/application.rb
config.mixpanel.middleware.use = true
config.mixpanel.middleware.persist = false
config.mixpanel.middlware.insert_js_last = true
config.mixpanel.middleware.config = {:cookie_name => 'mixpanel_cookie' }

Usage

You can now access a pre-configured instance of Mixpanel::Tracker from anywhere in your application by including the Mixpanel::Helper module:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Mixpanel::Helper
  after_create :notify_mixpanel

  def notify_mixpanel
    mixpanel.track 'User Created', :distinct_id => self.id
  end
end

Alternatively, you can use Rails.application.mixpanel if you don't want to include the module
