The module will track the page view history for all users of the associated website. The module will log 500 error statistics to help with debugging code. Additionaly, the posted data for form submission will be saved in the database. The settings file has an array option that allows you to remove sensitive files from being saved in the tracking table.

composer require ads/statistics

Step 2:

Publish and run migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Ads\\Statistics\\StatisticsServiceProvider
php artisan migrate

Add Statistic logging to 'web' middleware in app\Http\Kernel.php:

    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            ...
            \Ads\Statistics\Statistic::class,
        ],

Step 4:

In order to log 500 errors, you'll need to add some code to the app/Exceptions/Handler.php Add this interceptor to the register function Add to or create the report function before the return:

public function register()
{
	$this->reportable(function (Throwable $e) {
	    //
	});

	$this->reportable(function (\Exception $e) {
	    \Statistic::error($e);
	});
}

Step 5:

Edit the config/statistics.php file.

  'user_id' => 'email',
  'first_name' => 'first_name',
