I just downloaded this package for Laravel.
Its a Google Anayltics package, and I followed all the steps for setting up an account. What I'm having trouble is calling the methods. For example when it says:
Here is an example to retrieve visitors and pageview data for the current day and the last seven days.
$analyticsData = Analytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews(Period::days(7));
I tried doing this in my function like this:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Spatie\Analytics\Analytics;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
class DashboardController extends Controller {
public function index() {
$analytics = Analytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews(Period::days(7));
dd($analytics);
return view('admin.dashboard-v2');
}
}
Its giving me errors like:
Non-static method Spatie\Analytics\Analytics::fetchVisitorsAndPageViews() should not be called statically
Am I missing something here? I couldn't find any specific documentation online except for the Github ReadMe file
If you want to use the facade to access the class, you'll need to change use Spatie\Analytics\Analytics;
to use Analytics;
. That should take care of that error.
If you are going to use Period::days(7)
then you will need to add use Spatie\Analytics\Period;
because that's an actual static method, not a facade.
