Laravel ViewCounter
===================

[](#laravel-viewcounter)

A view and like counter extension for your laravel project. It uses session storage if the user is not logged in and keeps it clean while the session is active (no double likes or views). If a user is logged in, the information about hthe likes and views are stored into the database for getting history.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install using composer:

```
composer require fraank/view-counter
```

While the package is not stable, please make sure you added it as dev: Open "composer.json" manually and add "fraank/view-counter": "dev-master" into require.

Add the service provider in `app/config/app.php`:

```
Fraank\ViewCounter\ViewCounterServiceProvider::class,
```

The service provider will register an interface for your models to use view\_counter and like\_couter functionality.

To create the basic tables you have to provide the migation files:

```
php artisan vendor:publish
```

Now you can migrate:

```
php artisan migrate
```

Now you can register the like and view functionality in your model:

```
class Object extends Eloquent {
  use Fraank\ViewCounter\ViewCounterTrait;
}
```

You can call the actions for like and unlike in your views (or controllers) like this:

```
{{ route('view_counter.like', array('class_name' => 'post', 'object_id' => $post->id)) }}
{{ route('view_counter.unlike', array('class_name' => 'post', 'object_id' => $post->id)) }}
```
