Little auditor contains a pair of traits you can apply to your [Eloquent](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent) models to allow you to hook in to their events and store the attached data.

Should I use this package?
--------------------------

[](#should-i-use-this-package)

No. It's not ready yet.

Who should consider this package?
---------------------------------

[](#who-should-consider-this-package)

There are no extra functionalities here, we're just keeping track of a model, changes that have been made to it and the user that made them.

If you need fully fledged auditing functionality, I'd recommend [Laravel Auditing](https://github.com/owen-it/laravel-auditing).

Auditing
--------

[](#auditing)

If you've turned off package discovery, you'll need to register the Audit service provider in your app config.

```
    'providers' => [
        ...
        Rrvwmrrr\Auditor\AuditServiceProvider::class,
        ...

    ]
```

### Setting up an auditor

[](#setting-up-an-auditor)

The auditor will always attempt to grab the logged in user id and attach that to an audit. The default auditor is mapped to `App\Models\User` but can be changed via a service provivider if you're authenticating with a different model.

```
// app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

use Rrvwmrrr\Auditor\Auditor;

public function boot()
{
    Auditor::$auditorModel = Some\Other\Class::class;
}
```

Now that we've configured the model for our Auditor, let's set up the trait on that model.

```
// app/Models/User.php

use Rrvwmrrr\Auditor\Traits\IsAuditor;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use IsAuditor;
```

### Setting up auditable models

[](#setting-up-auditable-models)

Finally, we need to apply the auditing trait for the models we want to track changes on.

```
// app/Models/Order.php

use Rrvwmrrr\Auditor\Traits\IsAudited;

class Order
{
    use IsAudited;
}
```

### Defaults

[](#defaults)

By default, the IsAudited trait will try to listen for all model events. This can be customized via each model using the audit property

```
// app/Models/Order.php

use Rrvwmrrr\Auditor\Traits\IsAudited;

class Order
{
    use IsAudited;

    /**
     * The model events to listen for
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $audit = [
        'saved',
    ];
}
```

This set up would only save audit information when the saved event is fired for the model.

### Audit relationships

[](#audit-relationships)

Audits can now be queried on both the user model (retreiving everything they've audited) and any auditable model.

```
    $user = User::find(1);
    $user->audits;   //  Collection of audits made by the user

    $order = Order::find(1);
    $order->audits; //  Collection of audits made on the order
```
