Exclude certain users (e.g. `is_admin?`) from ahoy tracking

Question

I'm trying to create a rule using ahoy's exclude method to exclude admin users from tracking as suggested here.

But I can't figure out how to get the User object when I only have the controller and request. Any ideas?

Answer 1

From the documentation, in your controller, (or ApplicationController), you can skip the action used to track a visit:

skip_before_action :track_ahoy_visit, if: :your_method_here?
