README

The spatie/laravel-activitylog package provides easy to use functions to log the activities of the users of your app. It can also automatically log model events. 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.

$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',
    ],
];

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require admicaa/laravel-activitylog-mongodb

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'),
];
