Laravel Model History
=====================

[](#laravel-model-history)

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require good-system/laravel-model-history
composer migrate

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Use Generic `ModelObserver`

[](#use-generic-modelobserver)

If model history logging/recording for "created" and "updated" are the only things you need to do in a model observer, simply add something like the following to your service provider class:

```
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Donation::observe(\GoodSystem\ModelHistory\ModelObserver::class);
    }
}

```

And two model actions will be logged in database table `model_history`

- new donation created
- donation updated

### Use Trait `ModelChangeEventTraits`

[](#use-trait-modelchangeeventtraits)

If your model observer needs to observe additional model events, but for "created" and "updated" events, model history logging/recording is the only thing needed, trait `ModelChangeEventTraits` could be added to observer class, like this

```
class YOUR_MODEL_Observer
{
    use \GoodSystem\ModelHistory\ModelChangeEventTraits;

    // other model events such as deleted, saved, etc.
}

```

### Use `ModelFieldHistory` model static methods directly

[](#use-modelfieldhistory-model-static-methods-directly)

Model class `ModelFieldHistory` provides two additional methods

- `forModelCreated()` - record newly created model
- `forFieldChanges()` - record changes made to the model

If your model observer's "created" or "updated" event needs to do history logging/recording, plus other things, these two methods can be called from the observer directly, like this:

```
class YOUR_MODEL_Observer
{
    public function updated(YOUR_MODEL $modelObject)
    {
        ModelHistory::forFieldChanges(auth()->user(), $modelObject)->save();
        // Other things that need to be done upon model record update
    }

    public function created(YOUR_MODEL $modelObject)
    {
        ModelHistory::forModelCreated(auth()->user(), $modelObject)->save();
        // Other things that need to be done upon model record creation
    }
}

```

### Other Usage

[](#other-usage)

No other usage at this point. Note that the database table is not limited to accommodate these two changes.
