The Package stores all activity in the `activity_log` table. Here's a demo of how you can use it: ``` activity()->log('Look, I logged something'); ``` You can retrieve all activity using the `Spatie\Activitylog\Models\Activity` model. ``` Activity::all(); ``` Here's a more advanced example: ``` activity() ->performedOn($anEloquentModel) ->causedBy($user) ->withProperties(['customProperty' => 'customValue']) ->log('Look, I logged something'); $lastLoggedActivity = Activity::all()->last(); $lastLoggedActivity->subject; //returns an instance of an eloquent model $lastLoggedActivity->causer; //returns an instance of your user model $lastLoggedActivity->getExtraProperty('customProperty'); //returns 'customValue' $lastLoggedActivity->description; //returns 'Look, I logged something' ``` Here's an example on [event logging](https://docs.spatie.be/laravel-activitylog/v3/advanced-usage/logging-model-events). ``` $newsItem->name = 'updated name'; $newsItem->save(); //updating the newsItem will cause the logging of an activity $activity = Activity::all()->last(); $activity->description; //returns 'updated' $activity->subject; //returns the instance of NewsItem that was saved ``` Calling `$activity->changes()` will return this array: ``` [ 'attributes' => [ 'name' => 'updated name', 'text' => 'Lorum', ], 'old' => [ 'name' => 'original name', 'text' => 'Lorum', ], ]; ``` Support us ---------- [](#support-us) Learn how to create a package like this one, by watching our premium video course: [![Laravel Package training](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4c7f3720a29525e627f6004ee367e55def510e45d18e6bc974725812fa5cf257/68747470733a2f2f7370617469652e62652f6769746875622f7061636b6167652d747261696e696e672e6a7067)](https://laravelpackage.training) We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source).

Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require spatie/laravel-activitylog ``` The package will automatically register itself. You can publish the migration with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Activitylog\ActivitylogServiceProvider" --tag="migrations" ``` *Note*: The default migration assumes you are using integers for your model IDs. If you are using UUIDs, or some other format, adjust the format of the subject\_id and causer\_id fields in the published migration before continuing. After publishing the migration you can create the `activity_log` table by running the migrations: ``` php artisan migrate ``` You can optionally publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Activitylog\ActivitylogServiceProvider" --tag="config" ``` This is the contents of the published config file: ``` return [ /* * If set to false, no activities will be saved to the database. */ 'enabled' => env('ACTIVITY_LOGGER_ENABLED', true), /* * When the clean-command is executed, all recording activities older than * the number of days specified here will be deleted. */ 'delete_records_older_than_days' => 365, /* * If no log name is passed to the activity() helper * we use this default log name. */ 'default_log_name' => 'default', /* * You can specify an auth driver here that gets user models. * If this is null we'll use the default Laravel auth driver. */ 'default_auth_driver' => null, /* * If set to true, the subject returns soft deleted models. */ 'subject_returns_soft_deleted_models' => false, /* * This model will be used to log activity. * It should be implements the Spatie\Activitylog\Contracts\Activity interface * and extend Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model. */ 'activity_model' => \Spatie\Activitylog\Models\Activity::class, /* * This is the name of the table that will be created by the migration and * used by the Activity model shipped with this package. */ 'table_name' => 'activity_log', /* * This is the database connection that will be used by the migration and * the Activity model shipped with this package. In case it's not set * Laravel database.default will be used instead. */ 'database_connection' => env('ACTIVITY_LOGGER_DB_CONNECTION'), ]; ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information about recent changes.
