README

A simple package to log user activity in Laravel applications. Admins can view all logs, while users can view only their own logs.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require l0max/laravel-activity-log

To publish the configuration file, run the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="L0MAX\ActivityLog\ActivityLogServiceProvider"

This will publish the config file config/activitylog.php.

Usage

Once the package is installed, you can use the activity log to track user actions. Each time an action is logged, the ActivityLog model stores the user ID and a description of the action.

Example Usage

use L0MAX\ActivityLog\ActivityLog;

ActivityLog::create([
    'user_id' => auth()->id(),
    'description' => 'User performed some action.',
]);

Viewing Logs

Admins can view all logs, while regular users can view only their own activity logs.

Policy

A policy is included to handle permissions for viewing logs. Here's a simple example of how to control access to activity logs:

namespace L0MAX\ActivityLog\Policies;

use App\Models\User;
use L0MAX\ActivityLog\ActivityLog;

class ActivityLogPolicy
{
    public function view(User $user, ActivityLog $log)
    {
        return $user->hasRole('admin') || $user->id === $log->user_id;
    }
}

Database Migrations

To create the activity_logs table, run the migrations:

php artisan migrate

Factory

You can generate test data using the factory provided:

ActivityLog::factory()->create();

Testing

You can run the tests with:

vendor/bin/phpunit

Ensure that you have added the proper testing logic in the tests/Feature/ directory.
