Features -------- [](#features) - Other than basic log such as IP, Browser and OS, it can also log Location information. - Allows to log both unique and non-unique visits based on IP. - Allows to cache the visits based on IP. - Allows to log authenticated user info. - Provides log viewer page out of box. - Provides basic http authentication for app users. - Ability to ban users by their IP **Note:** VisitLog cannot detect same user/IP coming from some anonymizer so it cannot differentiate that.

You should now have `config/visitlog.php` file published. It will also publish migration file in `database/migrations` folder. Run `php artisan migrate` to create `visitlogs` table in your database. Config Options -------------- [](#config-options) - `route` : Route where visit log will be available. - `iptolocation` : By default, only IP, Browser and OS info is logged. However if you set this option to `true`, it will also log Location info through service. Note: You will need to create account there and get your access key and specify that in visitlog config file. - `cache` : If `iptolocation` is set to `true`, this option can be used to cache the results instead of requesting Location info each time from . - `unique` : If `true`, it will only log unique visits based on IP address. If `false`, it will log each visit even from same IP. - `log_user` : If `true`, it will also log authenticated user info. - `user_name_fields` : If `log_user` is `true`, this option can be used to specify name fields of user from your Users table in database. - `visitlog_page` : If `true`, a default log viewer page can be viewed at `http//yourapp.com/your_route` to see all the logs. Here `your_route` is the first option above. - `http_authentication` : If `visitlog_page` is `true`, this option can be used to show visit log page to only authenticated app users by asking them email and password via basic http authentication. Saving Log Info --------------- [](#saving-log-info) To save logs, just call `save` method of `VisitLog` facade: `VisitLog::save();` **Tip:** If you want to save only unique logs based on IP, login or post-login page is good place to use the `save` method on because generally login page isn't visited again after user is authenticated. If you also want to save authenticated user, calling `save` method inside login post method seems to be good idea. If however, you have set `unique` option to `false` and want to log all visits, calling `save` method in common location is good idea like base controller of your app. Viewing Log Info ---------------- [](#viewing-log-info) If config option `visitlog_page` is set to `true`, you can view all visit logs by browsing to `http//yourapp.com/your_route`. **Note:** If you don't want to allow `visitlog` page to be publicly seen, set the option `visitlog_page` to `false` and now `http//yourapp.com/your_route` will result in `404` error. In this case, you can still show log info in some authenticated area of your app by using `all` method of `VisitLog` facade: `$visitLogs = VisitLog::all();` and it will give you `Collection` that you can iterate over and show in your own view file.
