Visit-counter is an express middleware to track the number of GET, POST, PUT, etc. requests for each page of your webapp or API. Required: connect to MongoDB with Mongoose. We are always happy to hear your feedback! Submit your feedback in our github issues page.

Setup

To install the necessary dependencies, run:

npm i --save express mongoose visit-counter

Use the visit-counter middleware just like any other middleware in express (also use it before setting up routes):

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const visitCounter = require('visit-counter');

const dbURL = 'MongoDB Connection URL Here';
mongoose.connect(dbURL, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
    .then(() => console.log('Connected to MongoDB'))
    .catch(err => console.log('Error connecting to MongoDB:\n' + err));

app.use(visitCounter);

// other routes

app.listen(5000);

Record in Database

All requests will be recorded in MongoDB in the following form:

{
  page: "/url/path",
  method: "GET | POST | PUT | DELETE | ETC.",
  count: 3
}
