Add number of visitors and users

[amanjagdev]

There should be a small badge that shows how many people have visited the site and how many people are using the service.
It's more like analytics for the site.
Placement of these badges must fit well with the current styling and must not interfere with the current functioning.

"No of visitors" will increase as soon as someone visits the site.
"No of Users" will increase once the user clicks on "Create App" button.

Hi, can i try this one?

Hey,
Can I take this up?

[amanjagdev]

Sure @sruthiragupathy and @aravind-korada but if you both could explain the approach that you would follow to add that service... because this is a live stable release and any wrong move could have breaking changes.

Just want to know the approach :)

Can track number of visitors using componentDidMount and number of users whenever someone clicks creat app.

Can store the values in a DB or a file.
File would be a better option I think.
or
You can suggest where to store that values.

can i use node to solve your issue?

we just need an api.....and can u provide the ui for the badges?..the api should be publicly accessible and will be hit when the page loads......we need to save the user's ipaddress in a database and donot recount them once added in the database . Then the number of visitors will be the total users in the database, i think we need another api, which wil be hit when create app is selected which will just inclease the count in the database

@Sayan-dev In your approach, we are making a totally new API just for the sake of analytics,
We would just be storing some sort of object (Visitor's data) right so this seems a bit overkill for the task to me.

@aravind-korada This project is made using hooks and no class-based component is used and secondly where will you be storing that file and how will you access that in live version

Look we need to store the data somewhere and using a db is the best solution right?

Surely your point is justified, Although I would suggest something lighter.
There is nothing wrong with your approach I just feel like that we would need to host one API in order to count the user.

If anyone of you can try and implement in a lighter way ...
Pull Requests are always welcome.

Best and optimised approach will be merged.
