feat: Add a total visitor count section

[kaali001]

Describe the solution you'd like

The landing page requires a section which tells the total number of visitor visited this site. It can be implemented below feedback section.

Additional context

Add a API call at landing page to fetch a visitor count and also a post request API to update this count in backend. this visitor model should include timestamp of creation.

@kaali001 I can work on this feature. Do you want to use any third party API or we could just create a database schema and implement it.

[kaali001]

Hey @Sourav6971 ,
This feature is expected to be implemented on the home page, It's better to not use third party API for this, you can create a model for this as mentioned in description. And this section should be added on the home page below feedback section.
Good to go.

Do you have any specific design in your mind regarding how it should be implemented

[kaali001]

I don't have figma design for this right now but you can consider another sites for general idea of how it must appear, and follow the colour pallet and text font of home page. You can find this mentioned in previous closed issues.

[Sourav6971]

My proposed solution is to add a middleware where whenever the home page url is hit or refreshed it increments the total visitors count. Can I ho ahead with this approach?

[kaali001]

And you have to consider below points:

1. use local storage to store if the visit already counted , use a boolean value with 24 hour expire time to store it in local storage, this will ensure not count again and again in this time frame.

2. Create a model name "visitor" with date of creation and store it.

3. The total visitor count would be no. of datasets in "visitor" model. Which will be further fetched on home page.

4. Add some animation on visitor count numbers , and it should dynamically change.

The visitor model will have date of what? visiting the page?

[kaali001]

See the existing model at server/model. Its attribute "created At".
