Laravel Visits is a Laravel package that provides visit tracking functionality for Eloquent models. It implements a counter system with IP-based deduplication, period-based tracking (day, week, month, year), and visitor metadata collection (country, referrer, OS, language). The architecture features a pluggable data engine abstraction supporting both Redis and Eloquent/database storage, with traits separating concerns like listing, period handling, recording, and setting configuration. The package integrates with Laravel via a service provider and offers a simple helper function for accessing visit tracking capabilities on any model.
The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:
Defines the DataEngine interface that abstracts storage operations, allowing interchangeable backends (RedisEngine and EloquentEngine). This pluggable architecture demonstrates the Strategy pattern, enabling the core visit tracking logic to remain storage-agnostic. The interface could be extracted to any project needing pluggable storage with minimal modification.
Handles generation of cache keys for visits tracking with proper namespacing and organization. This self-contained class encapsulates all key generation logic, making it reusable in any caching scenario. It demonstrates thoughtful design in creating hierarchical, unique keys that prevent collisions while maintaining readability.
The four traits (Lists, Periods, Record, Setters) effectively decompose the Visits class responsibilities using PHP's trait mechanism. Each trait encapsulates a cohesive set of related functionality, demonstrating excellent separation of concerns. This composition allows for flexible reuse of individual concerns in other contexts while maintaining loose coupling.
