Tracking Movement

Redbox-tracker allows helps you to track visiting traffic to your Laravel website. New visitors along with their requests will be saved to the database.

Getting started

Prerequisites

We don't require much, but these are the minimum requirements for using Redbox-tracker.

• PHP 7.3
• Laravel 7 or higher

There is one additional requirement if you are contributing to this package. For development on the package itself, we require pdo_sqlite for testing.

Installation

The package can be installed using composer.

composer require redbox/tracker

The package will automatically register itself.

Publish configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redbox\Tracker\Providers\TrackerServiceProvider"

Install the database tables:

php artisan migrate

Create a listener for new visitors in your project:

php artisan make:listener NewVisitorListener

In App\Providers\EventServiceProvider and update the $listen array with:

    protected $listen = [
        // --
        \Redbox\Tracker\Events\NewVisitorEvent::class => [
            \App\Listeners\NewVisitorListener::class,
        ]
        // --
    ];

In App\Listeners\NewVisitorListener you now have access to the visitor data from $event->visitor.

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  object  $event
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle($event)
    {
        dd($event->visitor);
    }

Documentation

For more detailed information about how to use this package, I would like to send you to the project wiki.

Disclaimer

This project is inspired by Laravel Visitor Tracker. I created this version of this software because I need that functionality for a project of my own. This means I want all my dependencies for that projects 'Inhouse'.
