By default, Eloquent automatically manage `created_at` and `updated_at` columns to exist on your tables. In addition to this it also manage a `deleted_at` attribute if the model use "soft delete". However it is very tedious job to manage who create/update the model as well as delete (if soft delete). This also a indication of code repetition.

If you wish to have these automatically managed by Eloquent, `Tracker` is a nice and convenient way to do this.

Install
-------

[](#install)

You may use Composer to install the package into your Laravel project:

```
composer require phpcollective/tracker
```

##### Laravel 5.5+:

[](#laravel-55)

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

```
PhpCollective\Tracker\TrackingServiceProvider::class,
```

Database: Migrations
--------------------

[](#database-migrations)

To add `created_by` and `updated_by` columns in your table you want to track just use `$table->track()` method in your table migration file. For dropping the columns use `$table->dropTrack()`.

```
Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    ...
    $table->track();
});

// To drop columns
Schema::table('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->dropTrack();
});
```

If Your table contains `soft delete` columns, just pass `boolean` `true` in the method. It will add a `deleted_by` column in database.

```
Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    ...
    $table->softDeletes();
    $table->track(true);
});

// To drop columns with soft delete
Schema::table('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->dropTrack(true);
});
```

Model
-----

[](#model)

Add `Trackable` trait in model you want to track. Now it will handle all `CRUD` event by the authenticate user.

```
