A simple script for ingesting Google Analytics tracking tags into HTML documents.
The main purpose of this script is to use it in CI for static WWW pages to ingest tracking code for Google Analytics.
Optionally you might want to set up virtualenv before installing the script:
$ virtualenv env
$ . ./env/bin/activate
Next:
$ git clone [email protected]:msufa/tracking-id-injector.git
$ cd tracking-id-injector
$ python setup.py install
$ tracking-id-injector
usage: tracking-id-injector tracking_id input_filename output_filename
tracking_id should be set to the UA... Tracking ID from the Google Analytics Tracking Info page.
To inject tracking tags into every HTML file in ./www directory:
find ./www -maxdepth 1 -name "*.html" | xargs -n 1 -I {} tracking-id-injector $GOOGLE_TRACKING_ID {} {}
You might consider storing the value of your Tracking ID under GOOGLE_TRACKING_ID
in the environment variables of e.g. you CI pipeline.
$ python setup.py flake8
$ python setup.py test
This script injects a Google tracking JavaScript tag between head tags in a HTML document.
If there are meta tags that are not properly closed inside of head, the tracking script might be injected
under the last open meta tag and an additional closing meta tag might be added.
This is caused by intricacies of BeautifulSoup which is used to
parse and manipulate HTML.
