Metricky

Display metrics about your database in your application. Depends on the awesome Chartkick and Groupdate.

metricky-demo.herokuapp.com

Make this in Ruby:

rails g metricky:metric TotalUsersMetric --scope User --type :count --period :day

In your view where you want to display the metric:

render_metric :total_users

In app/metrics/total_users_metric.rb

class TotalUsersMetric < ApplicationMetric 
  def scope
    User
  end

  def type
    :count
  end

  def period
    :day 
  end
end

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'metricky'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install metricky

Then drop in Chartkick into your application.js (or similar):

//= require chartkick

Blatantly ripped from Super-inspired by Laravel Nova's metric system.

Need to pass current_user?

render_metric :users, user: current_user, account: current_account

user and account will be attr_reader-ized.

In your metric, define columns:

def columns
  :id 
end

To User.all.group(:color).count

def group
  :color 
end

In your metric, define what period:

def period 
  :day 
end

This can be any one of Groupdate::PERIODS

Define what column should be used:

def period_column
  :created_at 
end

In your metric, define what type:

def type 
  :count 
end

This can be any one of :min, :max, :sum, :count, :average

Ranges are what values are available on the form (used to query the metric, if applicable) via the range_column

def range_column
  :created_at
end

Defaults are all, today, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 10 days, 14 days, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

In your metric, define what ranges as a class method:

class TotalUsersMetric < ApplicationMetric
  register_range '15h', label: "15 hours" do 
    15.hours.ago   
  end
end

class TotalUsersMetric < ApplicationMetric
  remove_ranges '24h', '7d' # an array 
  remove_range '3d' # individual 
end

class TotalUsersMetric < ApplicationMetric
  reset_ranges!
end

class TotalUsersMetric < ApplicationMetric
  default_range '24h'
end

Use collection_label

class TotalUsersMetric < ApplicationMetric
  def collection_label(range_thing)
    "Born #{range_thing.value.call}"
  end
end 

Need helpers? h

class TotalUsersMetric < ApplicationMetric
  def collection_label(range_thing)
    "Born #{h.time_ago_in_words(range_thing.value.call)}"
  end
end 

In your metric, define the partial path:

def to_partial_path
  "shared/metric"
end

Take a look at app/views/metricky/_metric.html.erb for implementation.
