Laravel Audit Trail

• This package is for laravel 5.0/5.1, which helps you create your auditing logs into your database.

1. In /config/app.php, add the following to providers:

   Unisharp\AuditTrail\AuditServiceProvider::class,
   

   and the following to aliases:

   'Audit' => Unisharp\AuditTrail\Facades\Audit::class,
   

2. Run php artisan vendor:publish.

3. Run php artisan migrate.

All your logs will be recorded in 'audit_trails' table.

• You need to add a trait to the model you're going to audit.

  class User extends Eloquent
  {
    use \Unisharp\AuditTrail\Auditable;
  
    protected $table = 'users';
  
    protected $hidden = ['password'];
  
    protected $fillable = ['username', 'email', 'password'];
  }

• In any place you want to audit your user logs

  $User->log($action, $comment = null, $subject = null, $subject_id = null)

  Audit::log($action, $comment = null)

  $User->log('log in', 'the action is approved')

  Audit::log('log in', 'the action is approved')

  • $User is an Eloquent Object here.
  • The second, third parameters are optional.
  • You could put your modified column and column id to subject and subject_id parameters.

• Other usages

  • You can get your model logs by:

    $User->getLogs();

  • Get all the logs by single user by using:

    Audit::getByUserId($user_id)

  • As time grows, logs would be outdated. You may clean them by:

    $User->cleanLogs()
