Answer 1

public $attributes = ['hits' => 0];

protected $fillable = ['ip', 'date'];

public $timestamps = false;

protected $table = 'trackers';

public static function boot() {
    // When a new instance of this model is created...
    parent::boot();
    static::creating(function ($tracker) {
        $tracker->hits = 0;
    } );

    // Any time the instance is saved (create OR update)
    static::saving(function ($tracker) {
        $tracker->visit_date = date('Y-m-d');
        $tracker->visit_time = date('H:i:s');
        $tracker->hits++;
    } );
}

// Fill in the IP and today's date
public function scopeCurrent($query) {
    return $query->where('ip', $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])
                 ->where('date', date('Y-m-d'));
}

public static function hit() {
   /* $test= request()->server('REMOTE_ADDR');
    echo $test;
    exit();*/
    static::firstOrCreate([
              'ip'   => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],

              'date' => date('Y-m-d'),
             // exit()
          ])->save();

}

In laravel 5.7 it required parent::boot() otherwise it will show Undefined index: App\Tracker https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/25455
