The goal is not to build some sort of analytics but to find out if there are unused endpoints or controller method. After a few years, any projects have dead code and unused endpoint. Typically, you removed a link on your frontend, nothing ever links to that old `/special-page`. You want to remove it, but you're not sure. Have look at the `route_usage` table and figure out when this page was accessed for the last time. Last week? Better keep it for now. 3 years ago? REMOVE THE CODE! 🥳 [![/route-usage screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10015302/67657430-b1cbac00-f991-11e9-92f9-4954d762086f.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10015302/67657430-b1cbac00-f991-11e9-92f9-4954d762086f.png) [![php artisan usage:route screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1525636/67163336-f9d54800-f36d-11e9-9e23-41bd7f06ca4d.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1525636/67163336-f9d54800-f36d-11e9-9e23-41bd7f06ca4d.png) Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require julienbourdeau/route-usage ``` Run migrations to create the new `route_usage` table. ``` php artisan migrate ``` Publish configuration ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Julienbourdeau\RouteUsage\RouteUsageServiceProvider" ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) To access the route usage, you can do it in your terminal with the command. ``` php artisan usage:route ``` To access the HTML table, you'll first need to define who can access it. By default, it's available only on `local` environment. In your `AuthServiceProvide`, in the `boot` method, define who can access this page: ``` Gate::define('viewRouteUsage', function ($user) { return $user->isSuperAdmin(); }); ``` Then, head over to `yourapp.tld/route-usage`. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) ### excluding-regex [](#excluding-regex) Here you may specify regex to exclude routes from being logged. Typically, you want may want to exclude routes from packages or dev controllers. The value must be a valid regex or anything falsy. Notes ----- [](#notes) - I only logs request with a 2xx or 3xx HTTP response. I don't think the rest makes sense. Your opinion is welcome! - In the very first version, I was incrementing a `count` attribute. I removed it because I think it gives a wrong information. If it was used a lot because but last access was a year ago, it gives a false sense of importance to this unused route. Road to 1.0 release ------------------- [](#road-to-10-release) **Less SQL queries** I'll like to reduce the number of SQL queries performed. Typically, if a route is called, we don't need to log usage for the next 5 minutes. I'm thinking we could use some cache or split the data: attributes in mysql but last used date in Redis. 💡 Feel free to open an issue to discuss your ideas. **More package to ignore** Today, we ignore routes from Nova or Debugbar because there is nothing you can do about these routes. I'd like to support more packages out of the box. 📦 What package would you like to see added?
