Create a new row when someone logs in

I just realized you might be asking how to store info for non-logged in users.

In that case I would do the same thing as above, but use a hashed version of the client context data as a unique user key to keep my timestamps.

Storing anvil.server.context.client in data table

What I’m trying to do: Log some user activity and store the contents of anvil.server.context.client. I’m primarily interested in the IP address, but there are situations where that field won’t exist, so I figured I’d save all the client data and analyze it later. What I’ve tried and what’s not working: Converting to dict did not work, e.g. dict(anvil.server.context.client). The object is not iterable. Using the client directly gives me a not-serializable error. Using vars did not work, e.…

Then I would definitely be using a separate table from users, but still storing the login timestamps in a simple object column, and a unique key column that would either be the logged in user or this hashed context info to avoid duplicates.
