laravel visitor details catch

Suppose you want to save visitor details who visit your website...
You have to do something for this
Step No-1:
go to code editor terminal and type
php artisan make:Migration (your table name)
Then go to migration file which you make just now
then code something in up function
Here is some example

Schema::create("your table name", function (Blueprint $table){
//$table->your data type here("column name");
$table->bigIncrements("id");
$table->string("ip_address");
$table->string("visit_time");
$table->string("visit_date");
}
go to code editor terminal again and type
php artisan migrate

step 1 done

step No-2
create model
php artisan make:Model (your model name)

**

class VisitorModel extends Model
{
public $table='Visitor';
public $primaryKey='id';
protected $fillable = ['ip_address', 'visit_time'];
public $incrementing=true;
public $keyType='int';
public $timestamps=false;
};
**

step 2 done

step No-3

create controller
php artisan make:Controller (your Controller name)
after make controller,
in this controller import visitormodel for inserting data in database . Like
use App\Models\VisitorModel;

and then
**

class VisitorController extends Controller
{
function getVisitorDetails(){
$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Dhaka");
$visit_time = date("h:i:sa");
$visit_date= date("d-m-Y");

  $result = VisitorMode::insert([
        "ip_address"=> $ip_address,
        "visit_time"=> $visit_time,
         "visit_date"=> $visit_date,
 ]);

        return $result;

}
}
**

step 3 done

step No-4
this data use only for client site. that's why we go to the route>api.php and than
create new route
Route::get("/getvisitordetails", {VisitorController::class, 'getVisitorDetails'});
and also you should import the visitorcontroller class path in top of the api.php.

for this use App\Http\Controllers\VisitorController;

step 4 done

step No-5
test the route
go to postman and test this route.

step 5 is done......

Step No_6:
If you want to use this api in your website. Just go to the your interface code and create src>api>apiURL.js
and then, create a class like this...

class url{
static baseURL = "your base url",
static visitorData = this.baseURL + "your visitor route"
}
export default url;

Now, go to your Homepage and write a function like

GetVisitorDetails=()=>{
axios.get(url.visitorData).then().catch();
}

and now call this function anywhere from the homepage.

that's it.
