Rack::Deduce::Ingest

Rack middleware for Deduce's data ingestion API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack-deduce-ingest'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rack-deduce-ingest

Usage

Configuration

Rack::Deduce::Ingest requires a Site ID and apikey, provided by Deduce. If you have not been given one, please contact Deduce for more information.

Rails

A Railtie is included in this gem which will load the middleware automatically. You will need to set the middleware parameters in your app configuration:

config.deduce_ingest.site_id = "your site id here"
config.deduce_ingest.apikey  = "your apikey here"

Sinatra, etc.

use Rack::Deduce::Ingest, "your site id here", { :ssl => false }
helpers Rack::Deduce::Ingest::Helpers

Sending Data to Deduce

Within your view, use the helper +deduce_ingest_html+ to include the Javascript collection code.

deduce_ingest_html("[e-mail]")

You may send an options hash if you need to override any of the configuration options.

deduce_ingest_html("[e-mail]", ssl: false)

For a Rails site, be sure to mark the output as html safe.

Sending Events to Deduce

Within your controller, use the helper +deduce_event_post+ to notify Deduce of events.

deduce_event_post('marzelize', "[e-mail]")

Depending on the event type, additional data be send by passing an additional hash. You should consult with Deduce support for specific parameters and event types.

deduce_event_post('marzelize', "[e-mail]", {weather: 'cloudy'})

Best Practices

• Only pass information that you have already verified to be valid.

• Work closely with your Deduce support representative.
