Next.JS & Data API to create a page counter

MongoDB Atlas

Hey there everyone! :wave:

I’ve recently found the Data API and must say I’ve fallen in love with it, so much so I’ve decided to write my first tutorial I thought I’d share:
https://deloughry.co.uk/logs/using-mongodb-s-data-api-next-js-with-swr-to-make-a-page-click-tracker

I needed to be able to track page views on my website but didn’t want to have the hurdles and bloat that comes with installing a full-blown analytics package, plus I’m a nerd and wanted to build my own functionality.

I hope someone finds it useful and I’m sure that I’ll be creating more content in the near future too :smiley:

Thanks
Matt

Thanks, yeah I’m in no way good at UI and UX so wanted to go with something that was easier for me to fumble along with :smiley:
