GA4 Rails

This is a gem to simplify integration of Rails and Google Analytics 4.

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add ga4-rails

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install ga4-rails

Usage

Basic Usage

Include Ga4Rails model somewhere in your code the following way:

  class UserAnalyticsData 
    include Ga4Rails::Model

    metrics :new_users # Specify metrics
    dimensions :browser, :country # Specify dimensions
  end

Filters support coming soon!

To fetch data, run the following code:

    results = UserAnalyticsData.results(
        access_token: '<access token obtained from Oauth flow'
        property_id: 'properties/<id>',
        start_date: 1.month.ago
        end_date: Date.today
    )

Advanced usage

You can call the API methods directly if you need to.

1. Set up the client

require 'ga4-rails/client'

client = Ga4Rails::Client.new(access_token: access_token) # Access token from oauth flow

Then you can call methods on data or admin API directly:

client.admin.list_property_data_streams
client.admin.list_account_summaries

client.data.run_property_report(property_id, request)

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
