Log what happens to your Eloquent models (`created`|`updated`|`deleted`|`soft deleted`|`restored`|`force deleted`) and keep and eye on **who** made the change, **how** and **when**.

This solution is simple to integrate and introduces minimal changes to your project: 1 migration, 1 model, 1 trait, and 1 facade.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package via composer:

```
composer require elaborate-code/laravel-eloquent-logs
```

Publish the migrations:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="eloquent-logs-migrations"
```

Run the migrations:

```
php artisan migrate
```

### Publishing config file \[Optional\]

[](#publishing-config-file-optional)

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="eloquent-logs-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    'logs_model' => \ElaborateCode\EloquentLogs\Models\EloquentLog::class,
    'logs_table' => 'eloquent_logs',

    'user' => \App\Models\User::class,
];
```

That allows you to rename the `logs_table` before running the migrations.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Pick an **Eloquent model** that you want to log the changes that happen to it and add the `HasLogs` trait to it.

```
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class ExampleModel extends Model
{
    use \ElaborateCode\EloquentLogs\Concerns\HasLogs;
    // ...
}
```

After adding that trait, every change made to the model will be recorded.

Important warning from [Laravel docs](https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent#events:~:text=When%20issuing%20a%20mass%20update%20or,when%20performing%20mass%20updates%20or%20deletes.)

> When issuing a **mass update or delete** query via Eloquent, the `saved`, `updated`, `deleting`, and `deleted` model events will not be dispatched for the affected models. This is because the models are never actually retrieved when performing mass updates or deletes.

### Retrieving logs

[](#retrieving-logs)

You can load a model's logs using the `eloquentLogs` relationship:

```
$example_model->eloquentLogs;

$example_model->load('eloquentLogs');

App\Models\ExampleModel::with('eloquentLogs')->find($id);
```

And you can query logs directly:

```
// latest 5 logs with affected models
ElaborateCode\EloquentLogs\Models\EloquentLog::with('loggable')->latest()->limit(5)->get()
```

### Grouping queries

[](#grouping-queries)

By default each one model event will result in a query to log the action.

```
$example_model = ExampleModel::create(['name' => 'foo']);

$example_model->update(['name' => 'bar']);

$example_model->delete();

// ⚠️ This will result in 3 queries to insert the 3 events logs into the database
```

You can improve the logging process by using the `CacheEloquentLogQueries` facade

```
use ElaborateCode\EloquentLogs\Facades\CacheEloquentLogQueries;

CacheEloquentLogQueries::start();

$example_model = ExampleModel::create(['name' => 'foo']);

$example_model->update(['name' => 'bar']);

$example_model->delete();

CacheEloquentLogQueries::execute();

// 👍 This will result in 1 query to insert the 3 events logs into the database
```

The facade includes other methods that you wouldn't necessarily need to use:

```
// Stops caching and empties the cache without queries execution
CacheEloquentLogQueries::reset();

// Empties the cache but doesn't stop caching
CacheEloquentLogQueries::flushQueries();

// Stops caching until the reuse of start() and doesn't empty the cache
CacheEloquentLogQueries::suspend();

// Returns a boolean
CacheEloquentLogQueries::isCaching();
```

### Ignoring events

[](#ignoring-events)

You can specify the events to not log on the model instances by listing the events to ignore on `YourModel::$loggableOptions['ignore']`.

```
namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class ExampleModel extends Model
{
    use \ElaborateCode\EloquentLogs\Concerns\HasLogs;

    public static array $loggableOptions = [
        'ignore' => ['created', 'updated', 'deleted', 'softDeleted', 'forceDeleted', 'restored'],
    ];
    // ...
}
```

### Muting Eloquent events \[Laravel stuff\]

[](#muting-eloquent-events-laravel-stuff)

From seeders:

```
namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Console\Seeds\WithoutModelEvents;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    use WithoutModelEvents; // Add this trait

    public function run(): void
    {
        // Silent eloquent queries ...
    }
}
```

Anywhere from your code:

```
\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::unsetEventDispatcher();

// Silent eloquent queries ...

\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::setEventDispatcher(app(Dispatcher::class));
// ...
```
