Feature idea: extra metadata when recording view #218

Extra data such as user ID, IP address, user agent would be valuable to store when recording views.

Thank you for your suggestion. This feature has already been on the table for quite long now. I never persisted with it, because I try to keep the package as minimal as possible. After reelevating it, I think it will be a good addition to the package.

I wonder what you think of solution used in spatie/laravel-activitylog.

Another possibility would be to leverage this functionality to spatie/laravel-schemaless-attributes.

can't wait for the update, visitor data is too low. i tried to override the class with my own but I got confused. i hope it would record general used data in real case.

If you want this functionality please take a look at the following example: https://github.com/cyrildewit/eloquent-viewable-demo-app/pull/14

The same steps apply to other solutions/packages.
