View Count not working

Please help! I am trying to integrate a view count, but the data (counts) are not registering inside the collection.

This is the code i am using, which seems fine, but when i view the page and go to view the collection, the data isn’t counting the view. Why?

import {ifNull} from 'public/utils.js';
var currentItem, ds;

export function dynamicDataset_onready() {

	ds = $w('#dynamicDataset');
	currentItem = ds.getCurrentItem();

	//Increment the number of view on this item
	let views = ifNull(currentItem.viewCount) + 1;

	ds.setFieldValue('viewCount', views);
	ds.save();
}

Hi Robert, is it not working in the published site or in preview as well? Are there any errors in the developer console?

There is indeed an issue there with importing the utils.js file from the public folder. Can you please post a link to your site so I can take a look?

Did you verify that you have a file called utils.js under the public folder?

No - i don’t, do i need one :o what do i put in it?

You import this file (first line in your code) so I assumed it’s a file you created and maybe deleted. Did you copy this code from somewhere else?

I watched the beta launch video (Uval) demonstrating the product. So how do i create the public file?

You don’t have to, you can implement the “ifNull” function in the same file. What it basically does is it makes sure the view count is 0 in case it was never defined in the database.

Hi Tomer,
I¨m having the same problem.
So you says I can just delete “ifNull” from the code?

So it will look like this?

var currentItem, ds;

export function dynamicDataset_onReady() {
	ds = $w('#dynamicDataset');
	currentItem = ds.getCurrentItem();

let views = (currentItem.viewCount) +1;
let votes = (currentItem.voteCount);	

ds.setFieldValue('viewCount', views);
ds.setFieldValue('voteCount', votes);
ds.save();	
	
}	
	
export function heart_onClick(event, $w) {
	$w('#heart').hide();
	$w('#thanksBox').show('SLideIn');
	
	let votes = (currentItem.voteCount) +1;
ds.setFieldValue('voteCount', votes);
ds.save();

Problem with this code is that the view and vote count doesn’t show us.

This is my test site:

For some reason the View Count increments by 2 instead of 1. Any suggestions?

import wixData from ‘wix-data’;

//Voting and Viewing code

export function ifNull(a){
return (a===undefined) ? 0 : a;
}

var currentItem, ds;

export function ratingsDataset_ready() {
ds = $w (‘#ratingsDataset’);
currentItem = ds.getCurrentItem();

//Increment the number of views on this item 
let views = ifNull(currentItem.viewCount) + 1; 

//In case the number of votes is null, set it to zero 
let votes = ifNull(currentItem.voteCount); 
ds.setFieldValue('viewCount', views); 
ds.setFieldValue('voteCount', votes); 
ds.save();

}

export function vectorHeart_click(event) {
$w(‘#vectorHeart’).hide();
$w(‘#vectorHeartRed’).show();

 //increment the number of votes and save it 
let votes = ifNull(currentItem.voteCount) + 1; 
ds.setFieldValue('voteCount', votes); 
ds.save()

}
