feat(analytics): add content performance metrics - #368
Conversation
Track view counts for courses and books and expose comparative analytics across all content: engagement scores, completion rates, interaction rates and time-spent metrics. - engagementCalculator: pure helpers (interaction/completion rates, time spent, composite engagement score) - contentMetricsService: view recording + cross-content aggregation - GET /api/analytics/content-performance (comparative + summary) - GET /api/analytics/content-performance/:type/:id (single item) - Course/book detail endpoints now record views via the service

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds analytics endpoints and view tracking, but any signed-in account can currently retrieve platform-wide or another creator’s metrics, while repeated public detail requests can inflate rankings and large datasets can make aggregate requests expensive. These are material security, data-integrity, and availability risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until access scope and query/write safeguards are addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Use the standard response envelope on every analytics success and error path: { success, message, data }. Keep aggregate results under data, item metrics under data, and include data consistently in error responses so clients can parse both endpoints uniformly.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Restrict analytics access beyond authentication. The aggregate endpoint exposes platform-wide metrics and the item endpoint accepts arbitrary content IDs without checking req.user; enforce an analytics-role or administrator check for aggregate metrics and ownership or equivalent authorization for item metrics.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Clamp completionRate to its documented range.
completionRate(2, 1) returns 200, although the function specifies a 0-100 percentage. This value can be returned in course metrics and affect the platform completion average.
Proposed fix
- return round((completions / enrollments) * 100);
+ return Math.min(100, Math.max(0, round((completions / enrollments) * 100)));📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Wait for both metric writes before reading comparative analytics.
These requests start fire-and-forget metric writes. The next request can compute analytics before either update persists. The assertions for totalViews, course views, and book views can then fail intermittently.

1. Linked Issue
Closes #244
2. Problem Statement
Creators have no aggregated picture of how their courses and books perform — no view counts rolled up side by side, no engagement or completion rates, no way to rank content. This cannot be fixed with a coarse counter alone: it requires wiring view recording into the already-deployed course/book detail paths, and computing derived metrics (interaction rate, completion rate, time-spent, composite engagement score) across both content types from durable progress records.
3. Solution Comparison and Decision
views/readCountcounters plusCourseProgress/ReadingProgressalready exist, so no new event pipeline is needed. Rejected only as a standalone because a comparison endpoint also needs a composite ranking.ContentMetricsServicereuses the fields already maintained in the model and the progress collections it already writes, so metrics are real (derived from actual usage data) instead of synthetic.4. The Change
Reusable engagement helpers plus a service that records views and aggregates across both content types:
contentMetricsService.getContentPerformance()returns asummarywith platform roll-ups andtopByViews/topByEngagement, plus a per-row breakdown for every course and book, sorted by views.Acceptance criteria mapped to behavior:
GET /api/courses/:idandGET /api/books/:idnow record a view via the service (fire-and-forget)avgTimeSpentSeconds,interactionRate, and a compositeengagementScorecolumncompletionRatefromCourseProgress.completedAt/percentCompleteover enrolled usersGET /api/analytics/content-performanceplus per-itemGET /api/analytics/content-performance/:type/:id5. Compatibility Note (INTERFACE_VERSION)
No version bump. View recording is additive and side-effect-free; the new endpoint lives under the new
/api/analyticsnamespace. The prior course view increment was replaced with the same$incthrough the service, so the wire behavior is unchanged.6. Incidental Fixes
$incfor course views now routes through one service, so the write stays fire-and-forget and never blocks the response.7. Testing

A regression run of the shared book/course suites (24 tests acrossreadingProgress,bookUpload,recommendedBooks,courseProgress,courseBundle,coursePrerequisites) also passed, confirming the modified detail endpoints did not break existing behavior.8.

One commit adding the analytics service, controller, routes, calculator and test, plus view recording in the two detail controllers. No changes to payments, users, spaces, or sockets.
