Flask extension that creates a simple interface to Bitmapist analytics library

Flask extension that creates a simple interface to the Bitmapist analytics library.

About

Bitmapist is:

[A] Python library [that] makes it possible to implement real-time, highly scalable analytics that can answer the following questions:

• Has user 123 been online today? This week? This month?

• Has user 123 performed action “X”?

• How many users have been active this month? This hour?

• How many unique users have performed action “X” this week?

• What % of users that were active last week are still active?

• What % of users that were active last month are still active this month?

• Which users performed action “X”?

Installation

$ pip install flask-bitmapist

Usage

Example app:

from flask import Flask
from flask_bitmapist import FlaskBitmapist, mark

app = Flask(__name__)

flaskbitmapist = FlaskBitmapist()
flaskbitmapist.init_app(app)

@app.route('/')
@mark('index:visited', 1)  # current_user.id
def index():
    """using the mark decorator, the first argument is the event
       and the second is the id of the current_user
    """
    return 'Hello, world!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

For documentation on the mark decorator, look at the mark_event Bitmapist function.

Config

Name	Type	Description
BITMAPIST_REDIS_SYSTEM	string	Name of Redis System; defaults to default
BITMAPIST_REDIS_URL	string	URL to connect to Redis server; defaults to redis://localhost:6379
BITMAPIST_TRACK_HOURLY	boolean	Tells Bitmapist to track hourly; can also be passed to mark (e.g., @mark('active', 1, track_hourly=False))
BITMAPIST_DISABLE_BLUEPRINT	boolean	Disables registration of default Bitmapist Blueprint

Cohort Blueprint

One of the nice things about Bitmapist is its simple bit operations API and the data cohort that you get. For more information about the cohort, visit the Bitmapist README.

When you initialize the flask-bitmapist extension, a blueprint is registered with the application.

Name	Path	Description
index	/bitmapist/	Default Bitmapist index
cohort	/bitmapist/cohort	Demo cohort retrieval and heatmap generation

Tests

To run the tests, ensure that you have Redis running on port 6399:

$ redis-server --port 6399

Then you can simply run:

$ python setup.py test

To seed fake data for testing, run:

$ python scripts/seed.py
