Flask-Analytics

Flask Analytics is an extension for Flask which generates analytics snippets for inclusion in templates.

Installation

$ pip install Flask-Analytics

Usage

app.py

from flask import Flask, render_template
from flask_analytics import Analytics

app = Flask(__name__)
Analytics(app)

app.config['ANALYTICS']['GAUGES']['SITE_ID'] = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'


@app.route('/')
def index():

    return render_template('index.html')

index.html

{{ analytics }}

result

$ curl http://localhost:5000/
<script type="text/javascript">
    var _gauges = _gauges || [];
    (function() {
        var t   = document.createElement('script');
        t.type  = 'text/javascript';
        t.async = true;
        t.id    = 'gauges-tracker';
        t.setAttribute('data-site-id', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX');
        t.src = '//secure.gaug.es/track.js';
        var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);
    })();
</script>

Services

Flask-Analytics uses keys defined in app.config['ANALYTICS'] to determine which for which services analytics snippets should be generated.

Service	Keys Required
Google Analytics (ga.js)	['GOOGLE_CLASSIC_ANALYTICS']['ACCOUNT']
Universal Analytics (analytics.js)	['GOOGLE_UNIVERSAL_ANALYTICS']['ACCOUNT']
Piwik	['PIWIK']['BASE_URL'] ['PIWIK']['SITE_ID']
Gaug.es	['GAUGES']['SITE_ID']
Chartbeat	['CHARTBEAT']['UID'] ['CHARTBEAT']['DOMAIN']
GoSquared	['GOSQUARED']['UID']

Individual services can be disabled by setting the ENABLED key for that service (e.g. ['ANALYTICS']['PIWIK']['ENABLED']). Analytics as a whole can be disabled by setting the ENABLED key at the top (e.g. ['ANALYTICS']['ENABLED']).

When a service, or analytics as a whole, is disabled, it returns an empty string, so it's safe to keep {{analytics}} in your template.

When the configuration changes, the source for the analytics code will automatically be rebuilt the next time it's called.
