Add Antlytics to Ruby on Rails

Prerequisites

An Antlytics account (sign up free)
Your tracking ID from Settings → Tracking Snippet in your Antlytics dashboard

Install the snippet

Open app/views/layouts/application.html.erb and paste the snippet just before the closing </head> tag:

<%# app/views/layouts/application.html.erb %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title><%= content_for?(:title) ? yield(:title) : "My App" %></title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
  <%= csp_meta_tag %>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", "data-turbo-track": "reload" %>
  <%= javascript_importmap_tags %>

  <script>
(function(){
  var t="YOUR-SITE-ID",
      u="https://www.antlytics.com/api/ingest/pageview",
      k="ant_sid";
  function sid(){
    try{var s=sessionStorage.getItem(k);if(s)return s;
      s=crypto.randomUUID();sessionStorage.setItem(k,s);return s;}
    catch(e){return crypto.randomUUID();}
  }
  function utm(){
    try{var p=new URLSearchParams(location.search),o={};
      ["utm_source","utm_medium","utm_campaign","utm_term","utm_content"]
        .forEach(function(k){var v=p.get(k);if(v)o[k]=v;});
      return o;}
    catch(e){return {};}
  }
  function send(){
    fetch(u,{method:"POST",headers:{"Content-Type":"application/json"},
      keepalive:true,
      body:JSON.stringify(Object.assign(
        {tracking_id:t,pathname:location.pathname,
         referrer:document.referrer||undefined,session_id:sid()},
        utm()))});
  }
  send();
  window.addEventListener("popstate",send);
})();
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <%= yield %>
</body>
</html>

Note: Replace YOUR-SITE-ID with the tracking ID from your Antlytics dashboard.

Hotwire / Turbo

If your app uses Hotwire Turbo Drive, Turbo replaces page content without full reloads. The snippet's popstate listener fires on Turbo navigations, so pageviews are captured correctly.

Verify installation

Visit your site in a browser.
Open your Antlytics dashboard → Overview.
Your visit should appear within a few seconds.

If data does not appear after a few minutes, check the troubleshooting guide.

Optional: First-party proxy

To avoid ad blockers, set up a first-party proxy on your own domain.
