How to count Page Views using Redis? | Max View Counter using Redis

In this short tutorial I'm gonna talking about how you can count No of page views or Article Views in your Blog using Redis. You can ask why using Redis? Because Redis will keep the data in session so that no need of storing the data in Database or View Counts.

So Let's start the session:

1. Let''s define the Route first:

Routes.php

Route::get('/article/{id}', [

   'uses'=>'UserController@pageView',

   'as'=>'page'

 ]);

2. Let's define the UserController@PageView

UserController.php

public function pageView(Request $request,$id)
        {
            $redis = \Redis::connection();
            $views=$redis->incr('article'.$id.'view');
            return 'This is article with id: '.$id.' And It has '.$views. ' Views';
        }
