Usage

Logging

You can log anything using the package’s facade.

use Ka4ivan\LaravelLogger\Facades\Llog;  

// Example  
Llog::warning('Something happened', [  
    'users' => User::count(),  
    'products' => Product::count(),  
    'variations' => Product::count(),  
    'orders' => Order::count(),  
    'leads' => Lead::count(),  
]);  

Or without a message:

use Ka4ivan\LaravelLogger\Facades\Llog;  

// Example  
Llog::channel('daily')->info([  
    'first' => Brand::find('545e94e7-720f-4df6-9bef-bc0684f30690'),  
    'second' => Brand::find('16df9b24-52f3-4d39-9d96-ae24b6ad3a6a'),  
]);

class Article extends Model  
{  
    use HasTracking;  
}

It has the following structure:
