Journalism
==========

[](#journalism)

Record any (model or custom) events to store and review history

### Service Provider

[](#service-provider)

Add the package to your application service providers in `config/app.php` file.

```
'providers' => [

    /*
     * Laravel Framework Service Providers...
     */
    Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class,
    Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
    ...

    /**
     * Third Party Service Providers...
     */
    Codewiser\Journalism\JournalServiceProvider::class,

],
```

### Migrations

[](#migrations)

Publish the package migrations to your application. Run these commands inside your terminal.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Codewiser\Journalism\JournalServiceProvider"

```

And also run migrations.

```
php artisan migrate

```

Using as Trait
--------------

[](#using-as-trait)

Add `Journal` to you Model.

```
class Post extends Model {
    use Codewiser\Journalism\Traits\Journalised;
}
```

For now every Eloquent event will be journalized.

And you can journal any events you want.

```
$post = Post::first();

// Record an event
$post->journalise('my-event');
```

You may add to the journal record any payload you want.

```
$post->journalise('my-event', /* jsonable data */);
```

### Or using as Observer

[](#or-using-as-observer)

```
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Post::observe(Codewiser\Journalism\Observers\Journalist::class);
    }
}
```

### Auth Subscriber

[](#auth-subscriber)

Package provides mechanism to records auth events.

```
class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    protected $subscribe = [
        Codewiser\Journalism\Subscribers\Concierge::class,
    ];
}
```

> Subscriber detects `auth/register`, `auth/login`, `auth/logout`, `auth/reset-password` and `auth/fail` events.

### Custom journal records

[](#custom-journal-records)

Lets imagine, every time user wants to update the Post, he must explain, why changes were made.

```
class Controller
{
    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        $post = Post::find($id);
        $post->journalise('comment', $request->get('comment'));
        $post->update($request->all());
    }
}
```

### Accessing history

[](#accessing-history)

You have access to full history with user explanations:

```
foreach ($post->journal as $record) {
    echo "At {$record->created_at}
          user {$record->user['name']}
          makes {$record->event}\n";

    echo "Payload was: " . json_encode($record->payload);
}
```
