README

A simple package to track page views for any Laravel Eloquent model. It stores view records with IP, session, and user agent information to prevent duplicate counting.

Installation

composer require iotronlab/laravel-page-view

Publish and run the migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-page-view-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Optionally publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-page-view-config"

Configuration

use Iotronlab\LaravelPageView\LaravelPageView;

return [
    // Auto-prune old page view records
    'range' => [
        'type' => LaravelPageView::MONTH, // or LaravelPageView::YEAR
        'value' => 1
    ],
];

Usage

1. Add the trait to your model

use Iotronlab\LaravelPageView\Traits\hasPageView;

class Post extends Model
{
    use hasPageView;
}

2. Add a views column to your model's table

$table->unsignedBigInteger('views')->default(0);

3. Record page views

// In your controller
public function show(Request $request, Post $post)
{
    $post->hasPageViews($request);

    return view('posts.show', compact('post'));
}

4. Access view data

// Get the view count
$post->views;

// Get formatted views (1K, 1.5M, etc.)
$post->formatted_views;

// Get all page view records
$post->pageViews;

Generate fake views for testing

$post->fakePageViews();        // Creates a view in the past 30 days
$post->fakePageViews(true);    // Creates a view in the next 30 days

Testing

composer test
