The spatie/laravel-activitylog
package provides easy to use functions to log the activities of the users of your app. It can also automatically log model events. All activity will be stored in the activity_log
table.
Here's a litte demo of how you can use it:
activity()->log('Look, I logged something');
You can retrieve all activity using the Spatie\Activitylog\Models\Activity
model.
Activity::all();
Here's a more advanced example:
activity()
->performedOn($anEloquentModel)
->causedBy($user)
->withProperties(['customProperty' => 'customValue'])
->log('Look, I logged something');
$lastLoggedActivity = Activity::all()->last();
$lastLoggedActivity->subject; //returns an instance of an eloquent model
$lastLoggedActivity->causer; //returns an instance of your user model
$lastLoggedActivity->getExtraProperty('customProperty'); //returns 'customValue'
$lastLoggedActivity->description; //returns 'Look, I logged something'
Here's an example on event logging.
$newsItem->name = 'updated name';
$newsItem->save();
//updating the newsItem will cause an activity being logged
$activity = Activity::all()->last();
$activity->description; //returns 'updated'
$activity->subject; //returns the instance of NewsItem that was created
Calling $activity->changes
will return this array:
[
'attributes' => [
'name' => 'updated name',
'text' => 'Lorum',
],
'old' => [
'name' => 'original name',
'text' => 'Lorum',
],
];

php artisan migrate

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Activitylog\ActivitylogServiceProvider" --tag="config"
This is the contents of the published config file:
return [
