Informant keeps track of form validation errors in your application by directly tracking database validation calls. It provides detailed metrics that show you which forms are submitted incorrectly by your users. The data you’ll receive is field-level, so you can identify which fields are not clearly marked or explained. You can use this information to tweak your form designs to help your users be more productive.
We support every version of Rails from 3.0 up. We also support Mongoid from 3.0 up. We actively test the client gem against MRI 1.9.2, 1.9.3, and 2.x, jRuby, and Rubinius.
Once you’ve created an Informant account, you’ll see a message on your Informant dashboard with an API key. All you need to do is add the informant-rails gem to your Gemfile and put the API key in your production environment, and you’re up and running!
Then the registration process is even simpler: just add Informant through the Heroku addon interface, and Heroku does the rest!
