README

Provides an attribute to allow counting the number of visitors for multiple models within your Laravel app

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require devyousef/visitor

You can publish the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Devyousef\Visitor\Providers\VisitorServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

After that run the migrations:

php artisan migrate

As with most Laravel packages, if you're using Laravel 5.5 or later, the package will be auto-discovered (learn more if this is new to you).

If you're using a version of Laravel before 5.5, you'll need to register the Rateable service provider. In your config/app.php add Devyousef\Visitor\Providers\VisitorServiceProvider to the end of the $providers array.

'providers' => [

    Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class,
    Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
    ...
    Devyousef\Visitor\Providers\VisitorServiceProvider::class,

],

Usage

In order to mark a model as "visitorable", import the Visitorable trait.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Devyousef\Visitor\Traits\Visitorable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Visitorable;
    //
}

Now, your model has access to a few additional methods.

Now to calculate the number of visitors when visiting a post, for example we use visit() . Note that the user must be added as a parameter:

$post = Post::first();
$user = Auth::user();
$post->visit($user);

Then to display the number of visitors we use visitorCount()

$postVisitor = Post::first()->visitorCount();
dd($postVisitor);
