Log how many times each shorten link has been visited. You can modify the database to count the hit rate metric

Hi @bmusuko , I have gone through your requirement, I would like to work on it, please assign it to me. Thank you.

[bmusuko]

yeah sure @kandarppatel28

Thank you @bmusuko for assigning it to me, I just have one question, where do we need to log the visited count?

[bmusuko]

I think for now just save the visited count on the database. You can add new schema in database or modify existing schema to store the visited count. For the next enhancement, we can create a dashboard to visualize the data. Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions

Hi @bmusuko , I have changed the schema, added visitCount and increment it on each link visit. I will brainstorm for sure, that how can we display the visit count. I feel dashboard will be a good idea, we can append a table at the bottom of the existing UI, and show the visit count and also give option for sharing each link.

I kinda doubt this approach. If we show total visited count when users generating the link, will it always be 0? because the link has just been created. Let me know if I'm missing your point @kandarppatel28 .

[kandarppatel28]

You got me right, I will elaborate it a bit, basically 4 columns

Original Link
Short Link
Visit Count
Share
Whenever a short link is generated, it is appended to the table with Visit Count 0 with options for sharing.
