This package provides a simple and easy way to check if an *Actor* in your application is active or was active recently. In most cases *Actor* will be your app user, but in some cases it can be some logic like a bot, variable Cronjob, Queue or another external proces you want to monitor.

The package doesn't require any database migrations because it's built on the [Laravel Cache Driver](https://laravel.com/docs/cache).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Laravel Actor is Online requires PHP 8.2 or higher and Laravel 11+.

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

[](#installation)

1. You can install the package via composer:

    ```
    composer require djl997/laravel-actor-is-active
    ```
2. Prepare your actor model:

    ```
    namespace App\Models;

    use Djl997\LaravelActorIsActive\Traits\IsOnlineTrait;

    class Actor {

        use IsOnlineTrait;

        // ..

    }
    ```
3. Set online status

    - [Route Middleware (recommended for Auth)](#route-middleware-recommended-for-authenticables)
    - [Manually](#manually)

### Route Middleware (recommended for Authenticables)

[](#route-middleware-recommended-for-authenticables)

Activate the middleware to automatically update the online status of Users in your application, add the following to your `app/Http/Kernel.php` file:

```
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        // ..
        \Djl997\LaravelActorIsActive\Http\Middleware\IsOnline::class,
    ]
];
```

### Manually

[](#manually)

If you want to update the status manually or if middleware is not applicable in your case:

```
$model = Model::find(1);

$model->touchOnline();
```

Advanced Usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)

```
$user = User::find(1);

$user->isOnline(); // returns true if user is online
$user->wasOnlineRecently(); // returns true if user was inline x minutes ago (by default 5-30 minutes, customizable via config)
$user->lastOnlineAt(); // returns Carbon object of last online timestamp
$user->getCacheActorOnlineKey(); // get the online cache key
```
