Lightweight object logging for CodeIgniter 4

Quick Start

1. Install with Composer: > composer require tatter/audits
2. Update the database: > php spark migrate --all
3. Set up your models:

use Tatter\Audits\Traits\AuditsTrait;

class JobModel extends Model
{
	use AuditsTrait;
	protected $afterInsert = ['auditInsert'];
	protected $afterUpdate = ['auditUpdate'];
	protected $afterDelete = ['auditDelete'];

Features

Provides ready-to-use object logging for CodeIgniter 4

Installation

Install easily via Composer to take advantage of CodeIgniter 4's autoloading capabilities and always be up-to-date:

> composer require tatter/audits

Or, install manually by downloading the source files and adding the directory to app/Config/Autoload.php.

Once the files are downloaded and included in the autoload, run any library migrations to ensure the database is setup correctly:

> php spark migrate --all

Configuration (optional)

The library's default behavior can be altered by extending its config file. Copy examples/Audits.php to app/Config/Audits.php and follow the instructions in the comments. If no config file is found in app/Config the library will use its own.

Usage

Once the library is included all the resources are ready to go and you just need to specify which models and events to audit. Use AuditsTrait to add support to any models you would like tracked:

use Tatter\Audits\Traits\AuditsTrait;

class JobModel extends Model
{
	use AuditsTrait;

Then specify which events you want audited by assigning the corresponding audit methods for those events:

	protected $afterInsert = ['auditInsert'];
	protected $afterUpdate = ['auditUpdate'];
	protected $afterDelete = ['auditDelete'];

The Audits library will create basic logs of each event in the audits table, for example:

| id | source | source_id | user_id | event  | summary  |          created_at |
+----+--------+-----------+---------+--------+----------+---------------------+
| 10 | sites  |        27 |       9 | create | 2 rows   | 2019-04-05 15:58:40 |
| 11 | jobs   |        10 |       9 | update | 5 rows   | 2019-04-05 16:01:35 |
