## Overview

Add analytics to your **[Ruby][ruby]** and **[Ruby on Rails][rails]** apps and **[gems][rubygems]** with the **[Snowplow][snowplow]** event tracker for **[Ruby][ruby]**.

Snowplow is a scalable open-source platform for rich, high quality, low-latency data collection. It is designed to collect high quality, complete behavioral data for enterprise business.

**To find out more, please check out the [Snowplow website][snowplow] and our [documentation][docs].**

## Quickstart

Add this gem to your Gemfile. It is compatible with Ruby versions 2.1 to 3.0+.

```ruby
gem "snowplow-tracker", "~> 0.8.0"
```

See our [demo app][demoapp] for an example of implementing the Ruby tracker in a Rails app.

## Maintainer Quickstart

Clone this repo and navigate into the cloned folder. To run the tests locally, you will need [Docker][docker] installed.

```bash
docker build . -t ruby-tracker
docker run -v "$(pwd)":"/code" ruby-tracker
```

The `-v` flag for `docker run` creates a bind mount for the project directory. This means that changes to the files will be automatically applied within the Docker image. However, if you modify the `Gemfile` or `snowplow-tracker.gemspec` files, the image must be rebuilt.

Alternatively, test directly by installing Ruby 2.1+ and [Bundler][bundler]. Then run:

```bash
bundle install
rspec
```

To generate documentation using YARD, make sure the YARD and redcarpet gems are installed locally. Then run:
```bash
yard doc
```
