Support Turbolinks
Do you have any plans to support Turbolinks? like described here:
http://reed.github.io/turbolinks-compatibility/google_analytics.html
I feel like that is something that's better left to the app's specific requirements. What you could do, is still use the init tag, but pass skip_pageview: true as an option.
Then using the coffeescript in your ticket, you can run the ga commands.
Would just need to make sure that turbolinks doesn't reload the GA scripts, which I believe you can do by placing the init tag in the head
To accomplish what you're looking for, here is a snippet of code that'll get you started. I welcome any PR that would like to include a JavaScript class for this style, but I still feel its best left to the application.
application.html.erb
<html>
<head>
<%= analytics_init(skip_pageview: true) %>
</head>
....
</html>
Javascript in app
(function() {
document.addEventListener("turbolinks:load", function() {
ga('send', 'pageview', window.location.pathname);
});
})();
Turbo Links will execute any javascripts you place in the body as the different pages load too, so there is always that option as well.
<body>
<div>Hello world</div>
<%= GA::Events::TrackPageview.new %>
</body>
*all untested
We had to change the javascript part:
(function() {
document.addEventListener("turbolinks:load", function() {
ga('send', 'pageview', window.location.pathname);
});
})();
