Durjay Views A Simple Laravel View Counter Package

Introducing Durjay Views — A Simple Laravel View Counter Package

Tracking views in a Laravel application should be simple, flexible, and developer-friendly. That’s why I built Durjay Views — a lightweight Laravel package for counting views on blogs, products, services, or any model with minimal setup.

GitHub Repository:
https://github.com/durjaygp/durjay-views

✨ Features

• Simple Laravel view tracking
• Track views using a helper function
• Trait-based model integration
• Supports Blogs, Products, Services, and custom entities
• Stores everything in a single database table
• Tailwind CSS statistics dashboard
• Unique visitor tracking
• 7-day views chart
• Recent activity table
• Easy customization

📦 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require durjaygp/durjay-views

`

Publish migrations and views:

bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Durjaygp\DurjayViews\DurjayViewsServiceProvider"


Run migrations:

bash

🚀 Usage

Option 1: Using the Helper Function

You can track views instantly using a simple helper:

`php
trackDurjayViews('product', $product->id);

trackDurjayViews('blog', $blog->id);
`

---

Option 2: Using the Viewable Trait

If you prefer a cleaner model-based approach, use the included trait:

`php
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Durjaygp\DurjayViews\Traits\Viewable;

class Product extends Model
{
use Viewable;
}
`

Now record views directly:

php
$product->recordDurjayView();


Get total views:

php
echo $product->view_count;

📊 Beautiful Statistics Dashboard

Visit:

bash
/durjay-views/stats


The dashboard includes:

• Today vs Yesterday statistics
• Total unique visitors
• Today's unique visitors
• 7-day interactive views chart
• Recent activity tracking
• Guest/User detection

You can also publish and customize the dashboard views:

bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Durjaygp\DurjayViews\DurjayViewsServiceProvider" --tag="views"

💡 Why I Built This

So I decided to create something:

• Beginner-friendly

• Modern-looking
• Easy to extend
