This package provides traits, middleware, events, and configuration to easily record and query when a user was last active in your Laravel application. Features -------- [](#features) - Automatically update the `last_seen_at` timestamp for users - Middleware to detect user activity - Event-based architecture for extensibility - Query scopes and helper methods to check if a user was recently seen - Configurable thresholds for updating and checking activity - Migration publishing for easy setup Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) ### PHP [](#php) PHP 8.2 or higher ### Supported Laravel Versions [](#supported-laravel-versions) Laravel VersionPackage Version`^11.15``^0.2``^12.0``^0.2`Installation ------------ [](#installation) 1. Install the package via Composer: ``` composer require taldres/laravel-last-seen ``` 2. Publish the migration and configuration files: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Taldres\LastSeen\LastSeenServiceProvider" ``` 3. Clear the configuration cache to ensure the new settings are loaded: ``` php artisan optimize:clear # or php artisan config:clear ``` 4. Run the migration to create the necessary database table: ``` php artisan migrate ``` 5. Add the `Taldres\LastSeen\Trait\LastSeen` trait to your User model: ``` use Taldres\LastSeen\Trait\LastSeen; class User extends Authenticatable { use LastSeen; // ... } ``` 6. Add the middleware to your `web` or `api` middleware group or any other endpoint: ``` // ... \Taldres\LastSeen\Middleware\UpdateLastSeenMiddleware::class, // ... ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) If necessary or in case of a newer version, you can publish the configuration file to customize the package settings: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Taldres\LastSeen\LastSeenServiceProvider" --tag="config" ``` or this command to force overwrite the existing configuration file: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Taldres\LastSeen\LastSeenServiceProvider" --tag="config" --force ``` --- In the `config/last-seen.php` file, you can specify the User model to be used for tracking last seen timestamps: - `user`: The fully qualified class name of the User model to be used for tracking last seen timestamps. All other settings—such as enabling/disabling the feature, update thresholds, and recently seen thresholds—can be controlled via environment variables in your `.env` file: - `LAST_SEEN_ENABLED`: Enables or disables the package globally (default: true). It affects only the `updateLastSeenAt` method and the middleware. - `LAST_SEEN_UPDATE_THRESHOLD`: Minimum seconds between last\_seen\_at updates (default: 60) - `LAST_SEEN_RECENTLY_SEEN_THRESHOLD`: Seconds a user is considered recently seen after last activity (default: 300) Each setting has a default value, so you only need to override them if you want to change the default behavior. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Checking Activity [](#checking-activity) - `$user->recentlySeen()`: Returns `true` if the user was active within the configured threshold. - `User::onlyRecentlySeen()`: Query scope to get only users recently seen. ### Events [](#events) The package fires a `UserWasActiveEvent` whenever user activity is detected. You can listen to this event for custom logic. ### Manually Dispatching the Event [](#manually-dispatching-the-event) You can also dispatch the `UserWasActiveEvent` from your own application code: ``` use Taldres\LastSeen\Events\UserWasActiveEvent; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event; Event::dispatch(new UserWasActiveEvent($user)); ``` License ------- [](#license) MIT ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 80% of packages Maintenance65 Regular maintenance activity Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity44 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 95.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
