import { updateViewStat } from "lightning/serviceKnowledgeApi";

export default class Example extends LightningElement {
  @api recordId;

  increaseArticleViewCount() {
    updateViewStat({ articleOrVersionId: this.recordId })
      .then((response) => {
        this.dispatchEvent(
          new ShowToastEvent({
            title: "Success",
            message: "Article View Count is successfully increased",
            variant: "success",
          }),
        );
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        this.dispatchEvent(
          new ShowToastEvent({
            title: "Error updating view count of article",
            message: error.body.message,
            variant: "error",
          }),
