feat(analytics): Implement session-based view tracking for events

[codeunia-dev]

• Add session-based deduplication for event view tracking
• Create new useViewTracking hook with session management logic
• Refactor event view tracking API route to use AnalyticsService
• Implement client-side session tracking to prevent duplicate views
• Add logging and error handling for view tracking process
• Improve analytics tracking reliability and performance Enhances event view tracking by preventing multiple view counts from the same user session and providing more robust tracking mechanisms.

Walkthrough

Session-based view deduplication is introduced across analytics tracking. The API route now uses AnalyticsService instead of direct database queries. New view tracking hooks manage per-session deduplication via sessionStorage. The analytics service includes RPC fallback mechanisms and refined error handling to gracefully degrade.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
API Route Refactoring app/api/events/[slug]/track-view/route.ts	Replaced direct Supabase queries with AnalyticsService.trackEventView(). Added Node.js runtime specification and sessionId extraction from request body (400 if missing). Removed events table queries and company daily analytics RPCs. On error, logs and returns 200 with skipped message.
Debug Logging app/events/[slug]/page.tsx	Added console.log statements before and after useAnalyticsTracking hook invocation to log slug and trackClick reference for debugging.
Analytics Tracking Hooks hooks/useAnalyticsTracking.ts, hooks/useViewTracking.ts	Introduced session-based utilities (getSessionId, hasViewedInSession, markAsViewed) for per-session view deduplication. useAnalyticsTracking now checks viewed lists before sending requests and persists state via sessionStorage. Added default values for trackView (true) and trackClick (false). Increased tracking delay from 1s to 2s. Expanded logging for initialization and decisions. useViewTracking is a new hook for focused event view tracking with session deduplication, 2s delay, and graceful error handling.
Analytics Service lib/services/analytics-service.ts	Updated trackEventView to filter events by approval_status = 'approved'. Replaced direct view increment with RPC call increment_event_views(event_id), with fallback to direct update on RPC failure. Wrapped company analytics update in try/catch to avoid propagating failures. Improved error handling to distinguish event-not-found from fetch errors.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

• hooks/useAnalyticsTracking.ts — Heterogeneous changes including new session utilities, expanded tracking logic, modified signatures, and added logging; each branch warrants separate reasoning.
• hooks/useViewTracking.ts — New hook with session deduplication, sessionStorage interactions, and timer-based delayed tracking; requires careful review of timing and cleanup.
• lib/services/analytics-service.ts — RPC fallback logic and try/catch error handling adjustments; verify that graceful degradation doesn't mask critical failures.
• app/api/events/[slug]/track-view/route.ts — Confirm sessionId extraction, validation, and proper error status codes (400 vs. 200 for skipped).

Poem

🐰 A hop through sessions, views now blessed,
Dedup with storage, put to test!
Two seconds delay, no bot's disguise,
Session IDs guard what's true and wise. ✨
