Today's Development Updates: Analytics, Domains, & Admin Improvements

What developments have taken place today?

This day’s work focused on enhancing website analytics tracking and improving the presentation of domain expiration information. Several code refactorings were undertaken to streamline data collection, enhance UI elements, and improve maintainability. Let’s break down the changes:

1. Enhanced Website Analytics: A significant overhaul was implemented for capturing user activity, including location, visibility changes, cookie management, and session tracking. The introduction of SSE (Server-Sent Events) enables real-time data updates, while cookie checks ensure consistent user identification. Furthermore, a comprehensive set of metrics related to system performance is now collected and reported.

2. Robust Table Rendering: A new Table class was introduced to encapsulate the logic for generating HTML tables dynamically. This improves code organization and reusability. The domain URL table has been updated to include expiration status indicators using color-coded tags, offering a quick visual assessment of domain health.

3. Improved Email Generation: Refactoring of email generation logic within helper_email_generator created a more modular design, enhancing testability and future extensibility. A new factory function simplifies instantiation of the EmailGenerator struct.

4. Admin Route Implementation: Three new routes were added to the admin section for viewing last login times and accessing administrative logs.

5. Domain Expiration Display: Added an API endpoint /api/domain/expiration and associated front-end changes to display domain expiration dates in a table format, providing users with critical information about website longevity. This includes parsing and formatting date strings for clear presentation.

6. Style Adjustments: Minor style adjustments were made to update background colors for status indicators (status-ok, status-failed) to improve visual clarity.

7. Dependency Injection: The codebase now employs dependency injection, separating concerns and improving modularity through the use of constructor functions to create new service instances.

8. Code Refactoring: Several minor code refactorings were performed throughout the project, including updating import statements in a stylesheet and reorganizing controller initialization logic.

In summary, today’s changes significantly improved website analytics tracking, enhanced data presentation with clear expiration indicators, streamlined backend processes through dependency injection, and added new administrative functionalities. These improvements collectively contribute to a more robust, informative, and user-friendly experience for visitors and administrators alike.
