CrappyCounter

Gem that just builds up a load of counters in Redis.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'crappycounter'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install crappycounter

Usage

This gem assumes you have Redis availble on a global var called $redis.

On an app I wanted to update stats with simple date filters so that I could easily aggregate counts for day year month, but the more states the more of a pain it was:

my_key
my_key:2001
my_key:200112
my_key:20011231
my_key:some_state
my_key:some_state:2001
my_key:some_state:200112
my_key:some_state:20011231

CrappyCounter simply takes an array of key (with an optional date) and increments them all for you:

CrappyCounter.incr keys: ["my_key", "some_state"], date: today
