laravel-activitylog
===================

[](#laravel-activitylog)

The `Devakb/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. The Package stores all activity in the `activity_log` table.

Here's a demo of how you can use it:

```
activity()->log('Look, I logged something');
```

You can retrieve all activity using the `Devakb\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](https://docs.spatie.be/laravel-activitylog/v3/advanced-usage/logging-model-events).

```
$newsItem->name = 'updated name';
$newsItem->save();

//updating the newsItem will cause the logging of an activity
$activity = Activity::all()->last();

$activity->description; //returns 'updated'
$activity->subject; //returns the instance of NewsItem that was saved
```

Calling `$activity->changes()` will return this array:

```
[
   'attributes' => [
        'name' => 'updated name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
    'old' => [
        'name' => 'original name',
        'text' => 'Lorum',
    ],
];
```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require devakb/laravel-activitylog
```

The package will automatically register itself.

You can publish the migration with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Devakb\Activitylog\ActivitylogServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
```

*Note*: The default migration assumes you are using integers for your model IDs. If you are using UUIDs, or some other format, adjust the format of the subject\_id and causer\_id fields in the published migration before continuing.

After publishing the migration you can create the `activity_log` table by running the migrations:

```
php artisan migrate
```

You can optionally publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Devakb\Activitylog\ActivitylogServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [

    /*
     * If set to false, no activities will be saved to the database.
     */
    'enabled' => env('ACTIVITY_LOGGER_ENABLED', true),

    /*
     * When the clean-command is executed, all recording activities older than
     * the number of days specified here will be deleted.
     */
    'delete_records_older_than_days' => 365,

    /*
     * If no log name is passed to the activity() helper
     * we use this default log name.
     */
    'default_log_name' => 'default',

    /*
     * You can specify an auth driver here that gets user models.
     * If this is null we'll use the default Laravel auth driver.
     */
    'default_auth_driver' => null,

    /*
     * If set to true, the subject returns soft deleted models.
     */
    'subject_returns_soft_deleted_models' => false,

    /*
     * This model will be used to log activity.
     * It should be implements the Devakb\Activitylog\Contracts\Activity interface
     * and extend Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model.
     */
    'activity_model' => \Devakb\Activitylog\Models\Activity::class,

    /*
     * This is the name of the table that will be created by the migration and
     * used by the Activity model shipped with this package.
     */
    'table_name' => 'activity_log',

     /*
      * This is the database connection that will be used by the migration and
      * the Activity model shipped with this package. In case it's not set
      * Laravel database.default will be used instead.
      */
    'database_connection' => env('ACTIVITY_LOGGER_DB_CONNECTION'),
];
