⚡ How It Works

1. Subscribes to KernelEvents::TERMINATE: This ensures the view counting logic runs at the end of every page request.

2. Checks for Main Request: It verifies that the current request is the main page request and not a sub-request (e.g., for AJAX or embedded elements). This prevents overcounting.

3. Retrieves Node Information: It attempts to extract the viewed node object from the route parameters. It handles various scenarios where the node might be a NodeInterface object, another entity type with a getEntityId() method, an array containing the node ID (nid), or a direct numeric or string node ID.

4. Checks Configuration: It checks if the "Count content views" setting is enabled in Drupal's statistics configuration (statistics.settings).

5. Verifies HTML Response: It ensures that the response being sent to the client is an HTML page. This typically means a full node view.

6. Updates View Counts: If all the above conditions are met, the subscriber updates the node_counter database table for the viewed node:

   • It attempts to insert a new record if one doesn't exist.
   • If a record already exists, it increments the weekcount, monthcount, and yearcount columns. It also updates the timestamp of the last view.

🛠️ Development Notes

• Dependency Injection used for:
• Database connection
• Request stack
• Route matching
• Config factory
• Module handler
• No deprecated APIs.
• Fully Drupal 11-safe.
