# RefInspector

Referer parser library.

## Package Setup

To use RefInspector with your projects, edit your `mix.exs` file and add the required dependencies:

```elixir
defp deps do
[
# ...
{:ref_inspector, "~> 2.0"},
# ...
]
end
```

If you want to use a manual supervision approach (without starting the application) please look at the inline documentation of `RefInspector.Supervisor`.

## Application Configuration

Out of the box the default database will be stored in the `:priv_dir` of `:ref_inspector`. Both the database(s) and path used can be changed.

For a detailed list of available configuration options please consult `RefInspector.Config`.

## Referer Database

The default database is taken from the [snowplow-referer-parser](https://github.com/snowplow-referer-parser/referer-parser) project.

## Basic Usage

### Database Download

You need to obtain a copy of the configured database by calling either `mix ref_inspector.download` from the command line or `RefInspector.Downloader.download/0` from within your application.

Refer to `RefInspector.Downloader` for more details.

### Referer Parsing

```elixir
iex> RefInspector.parse("http://www.google.com/search?q=ref_inspector")
%RefInspector.Result{
medium: "search",
referer: "http://www.google.com/search?q=ref_inspector",
source: "Google",
term: "ref_inspector"
}
```

Full documentation is available inline in the `RefInspector` module and at [https://hexdocs.pm/ref_inspector](https://hexdocs.pm/ref_inspector).

## Benchmark

Several (minimal) benchmark scripts are included. Please refer to the Mixfile or `mix help` output for their names.
