Laravel Stats: Track Application Stats and Their Change Over Time
Published on by Paul Redmond
Laravel Stats is a package by Spatie to easily track application stats like orders, subscriptions, and users, and their change over time.
This package is simple to use and get started with—you extend the package's BaseStats
class, and you are ready to use this package:
use Spatie\Stats\BaseStats; class SubscriptionStats extends BaseStats {}
Next, whenever you want to track a stat, you can increase or decrease the statistic:
// execute whenever somebody subscribesSubscriptionStats::increase(); // execute whenever somebody cancels the subscriptionSubscriptionStats::decrease(); // Set the stat directlySubscriptionStats::set($count);
Once you've collected stats, you can query statistics with this package using the provided StatsQuery API:
$stats = SubscriptionStats::query() ->start(now()->subMonths(2)) ->end(now()->subSecond()) ->groupByWeek() ->get(); /*Example results: [ [ 'start' => '2020-01-01', 'end' => '2020-01-08', 'value' => 102, 'increments' => 32, 'decrements' => 20, 'difference' => 12, ], [ 'start' => '2020-01-08', 'end' => '2020-01-15', 'value' => 114, 'increments' => 63, 'decrements' => 30, 'difference' => 33, ],] */
