Yii 2, updating user's last action time?

Question

Yii

In pursuit of the topic .
I decided to do it in a clumsy way without any sockets. So.
Which method of updating the time of the last action / transition should be chosen as the most optimal?
1) rely solely on data from Ajax;
2) update using actions in controllers, or in the User model by adding finIdentity to the method, or making a global before action;
3) a mix of the methods above;
4) I don't know how anymore, tell me ;D
P.S.
This is generally normal, no?

Answer 1

before action - in my opinion the best option. Simple and works, resources are not particularly annoying. Revealing the "ends of the connection" will lead you to the fact that then you have to somehow connect them with the user id. Why reinvent the wheel?

Answer 2

Решил делать топорным способом без всяких сокетов

Подумайте еще раз. И сделайте примерно так:
AJAX это перегруз. Полный перегруз.
Давайте посмотрим сзади: зачем вы пытаетесь выявить последнее действие, если можно просто выявить «конец соединения»?
