README

This Laravel 5 package allows model events to be logged to a database. It provides a trait that can be added to any Eloquent model allowing for chosen events to be logged using a polymorphic relationship.

Installation

This package can be installed through Composer.

composer require mintbridge/eloquent-auditing

Once installed add the service provider and facade to your app config

// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    '...',
    Mintbridge\EloquentAuditing\AuditServiceProvider::class,
];

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Auditor' => Mintbridge\EloquentAuditing\AuditorFacade::class,
];

You'll also need to publish and run the migration in order to create the database table.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mintbridge\EloquentAuditing\AuditServiceProvider" --tag="config"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mintbridge\EloquentAuditing\AuditServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate

The configuration will be written to config/auditing.php. The options have sensible defaults but you should change the user to match the one used in your application.

Usage

This package will record the events from your models. To do so your model must use the Auditable trait and implement AuditableInterface.

use Mintbridge\EloquentAuditing\Auditable;
use Mintbridge\EloquentAuditing\AuditableInterface;

class Article extends Eloquent implements AuditableInterface {

    use Auditable;
...

The trait by default will use the event in config/auditing.php but you can overide this on a per model basis by adding a static $auditableEvents array of event names to the model. See http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent#events for the available events.

use Mintbridge\EloquentAuditing\Auditable;
use Mintbridge\EloquentAuditing\AuditableInterface;

class Article extends Eloquent implements AuditableInterface {

    use Auditable;

    public static $auditableEvents = [
        'creating',
        'created',
        'updating',
        //...
    ];
...
