Ecommerce Recently Viewed Products

@devonian What’s the brief for the feature? If it’s just showing any one user the products they last viewed, then you can just keep an array in the session, and then retrieve those products in a “recently viewed” list.

class ProductController extends Controller
{
    public function show(Product $product)
    {
        // Push product ID to session
        session()->push('products.recently_viewed', $product->getKey());

        return view('product.show', compact('product'));
    }
}

class RecentlyViewedProductsViewComposer
{
    public function compose(View $view)
    {
        $products = session()->get('products.recently_viewed');

        $view->with([
            'recentlyViewed' => Product::find($products),
        ]);
    }
}
