Journal provides insight into the events coming into your application. [![index view](index.png)](index.png)[![detail view](detail.png)](detail.png) Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require morrislaptop/journal ``` After installing Journal, publish its assets using the `journal:install` Artisan command. ``` php artisan journal:install ``` ### Local Only Installation [](#local-only-installation) If you plan to only use Journal to assist your local development, you may install Journal using the `--dev` flag: ``` composer require morrislaptop/journal --dev php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Morrislaptop\Journal\JournalServiceProvider" --tag="journal-config" ``` ### Dashboard Authorization [](#dashboard-authorization) The Journal dashboard may be accessed at the `/journal` route. By default, you will only be able to access this dashboard in the `local` environment. Within your `app/Providers/JournalServiceProvider.php` file, there is an [authorization gate](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/authorization#gates) definition. This authorization gate controls access to Journal in **non-local** environments. You are free to modify this gate as needed to restrict access to your Journal installation: ``` /** * Register the Journal gate. * * This gate determines who can access Journal in non-local environments. * * @return void */ protected function gate() { Gate::define('viewJournal', function ($user) { return in_array($user->email, [ 'cr@igmorr.is', ]); }); } ``` > You should ensure you change your `APP_ENV` environment variable to `production` in your production environment. Otherwise, your Journal installation will be publicly available. #### Alternative Authentication Strategies [](#alternative-authentication-strategies) Remember that Laravel automatically injects the authenticated user into the gate closure. If your application is providing Journal security via another method, such as IP restrictions, then your Journal users may not need to "login". Therefore, you will need to change `function ($user)` closure signature above to `function ($user = null)` in order to force Laravel to not require authentication.
