Snippet Analytics Service

[SudiptaPaul-31]

Description
Build a backend service to track snippet interactions (views, copies, shares) and store analytics data for future dashboard visualizations.

Metrics

• Views → Count each time a snippet is opened
• Copies → Count each time snippet content is copied
• Shares → Count each time snippet is shared via link or export

Requirements

• Store analytics data in database with fields: id, snippetId, userId, actionType, timestamp
• Expose API endpoints for analytics retrieval
• Support aggregation queries for dashboard (e.g., total views, copies, shares per snippet)
• Ensure efficient querying with indexes on snippetId and actionType
• Retry logic for failed logging attempts (queue-based or background worker)

Endpoints

• POST /api/snippets/:id/analytics → Log a snippet action (view, copy, share)
• GET /api/snippets/:id/analytics → Fetch aggregated analytics for a snippet
• GET /api/analytics → Fetch global analytics (optional, for admin/dashboard use)

Tasks

• Define database schema for analytics events
• Implement logging logic for snippet actions
• Build API endpoints for logging and fetching analytics
• Add aggregation queries for dashboard metrics
• Write unit tests for logging, retrieval, and aggregation logic
• Document API usage for frontend integration

Acceptance Criteria

• Snippet actions (view, copy, share) logged reliably in database
• Aggregated analytics retrievable via API endpoints
• Efficient queries supported with proper indexing
• Retry logic ensures no data loss during failed logging attempts
• Unit tests pass for all endpoints and logic
• API documented for frontend/dashboard integration
