Active Tracker API example

track_link.coffee

# Example of the Active Tracker API
# One javascript call at the top of your page can send any events you want to Mixpanel, Kissmetrics, etc
# Given a few links like this:
# <a href="http://google.com" data-event-name="google" data-event-properties="'target': 'google', 'username': 'nate'"></a>
# Then:
# active_tracker.track_links();
# ... sends an event called "google" 
# ... with JSON properties "'target': 'google', 'username': 'nate', 'environment': 'development'"
# ... to all of your registered event providers (in this case, mixpanel and kissmetrics)

active_tracker.track_links = (selector = '[data-event-name]') ->
  $.each $(selector), (_, value) ->
    $value = $(value)
    properties = $.parseJSON($value.attr("data-event-properties")) or new Object
    properties.environment = '<%=Rails.env%>'
    eventName = $value.attr 'data-event-name'
    mixpanel.track_links selector, eventName, properties
