How to Use
Regular pages
Just add Counter::showAndCount('home') ( for blades uses {{ Counter::showAndCount('home') }} ). Change home to a unique name for the page you are working with., (*6)
Dynamic pages
For dynamic pages, such as user profiles, or job listings etc you may provide a dynamic element like this Counter::showAndCount('user-profile', $user->id) ( for blades use {{ Counter::showAndCount('user-profile', $user->id) }} ), (*7)
Change user-profile to a unique name for the page you are working with., (*8)
Number output is already formatted. So 3000 visitors will render as 3,000, (*9)
If you have records on a page but do not want to count visiting the page displaying the records as a hit on the record itself then change showAndCount to just show. Example Counter::show('job-listings', $job->id) ( for blades use {{ Counter::show('job-listings', $job->id) }} ), (*10)
You may get all hits for every page on the entire site with Counter::allHits() ( for blades use {{ Counter::allHits() }} ). To specify a day constraint, like only all hits for the past 30 days then do Counter::allHits(30) (for blades use {{ Counter::allHits(30) }} )., (*11)
If you would just like to process a hit for a page without displaying anything then just use Counter::count('user-profile', $user->id). Works the same as all previous examples for both static and dynamic pages, blade is the same syntax. Useful for counting hits for a page without letting everyone see., (*12)
Enjoy!, (*13)
This package lets you see hit counts for specific pages/objects as well as an overall site hit count. It also uses a uniquely generated cookie (fallback to IP) to give a more accurate reading. Nice package for the pro-anonymous people :), (*14)
