For example, if we want to know how many people has viewed a specific post between January 10 and February 17 in 2018, we can do the following: views($post)->period(Period::create('10-01-2018', '17-02-2018'))->count();. The disadvantage of this is that your database can grow rapidly in size depending on the amount of visitors your application has.
