Want privacy friendly analytics for Django? You're at the right place.

You need an account on Simple Analytics to see your stats collected by this plugin.

Installing it

Install the plugin:

pip install simpleanalytics

Using it

Add the package to the INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
   ...,
   simpleanalytics,
]

Next use the templatetag in your template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load static simpleanalytics_tags %}
<html>
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8">
		<title>{% block page_title %}{{ site.name }}{% endblock %}</title>
		<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
    ...
    {% simpleanalytics_sync %}
    ...
    </head>
</html>

This will translate to roughly this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8">
		<title>brwnppr.com</title>
		<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
    ...
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://scripts.simpleanalyticscdn.com/latest.js"></script>
    ...
    </head>
</html>

This app has four templatetags:

simpleanalytics_sync
simpleanalytics_async

simpleanalytics_sync converts to a plain <script> tag without the async keyword.

simpleanalytics_async converts to a plain <script> tag with the async keyword.

Compatibility

Tested on Django 2.2, but we think this should run on any recent Django deployment. Please raise an issue when it doesn't.
