Laravel Auditor

The Laravel Auditing package is a comprehensive auditing solution for Laravel applications. It provides a way to track changes made to your models, enabling you to maintain a detailed record of data modifications

What is Laravel Auditor

The Laravel Auditing package is designed to seamlessly integrate with your Laravel application, offering a robust and flexible solution for auditing your Eloquent models. It records every change made to your models, storing the old and new values of attributes, the user responsible for the changes, and timestamps. This allows you to maintain a detailed audit trail and ensures data integrity and accountability.

The package is highly customizable, enabling you to define which models and attributes should be audited, specify the storage location for audit logs, and configure how audits are queried and displayed. Additionally, it supports broadcasting audit events, which can be useful for triggering real-time notifications or other actions in response to data changes.

By using Laravel Auditing, you can enhance the transparency and reliability of your application, making it easier to debug issues, understand user actions, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

How to Install

Step 1: Install the Package via Composer

Run the following command in your terminal to install the package:

composer require rembon/laravel-auditor

Step 2: Register the Service Provider

Once the package is successfully installed, you need to register the service provider and publish the assets. Add the service provider to the providers array in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    /*
    * Laravel Framework Service Providers...
    */
    ...

    /*
    * Package Service Providers...
    */
    \Rembon\LaravelAuditor\LaravelAuditorServiceProvider::class,

    /*
    * Application Service Providers...
    */
    ...
],

Use these library on top of your Event Service Provider Files app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php:

<?php

...
use Illuminate\Mail\Events\MessageSent;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationSent;
use Rembon\LaravelAuditor\Listeners\AuthorizeMail;
use Rembon\LaravelAuditor\Listeners\AuthorizeNotification;

Then replace these code into app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php

protected $listen = [
    ...
    MessageSent::class => [
        AuthorizeMail::class,
    ],
    NotificationSent::class => [
        AuthorizeNotification::class,
    ],
];

Step 3: Publish the Configuration Files

Run the following Artisan commands to publish the package configuration:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=migrations
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=public
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=views

Step 4: Running the Migration Files

then run the migration:

php artisan migrate

if you want to migrate the specific migration, run migration below:

php artisan migrate --path=database/migrations/2050_06_14_042948_create_audits_table.php

and

php artisan migrate --path=database/migrations/2050_07_13_093233_create_performances_table.php

Step 5: Optional Commands

Lastly, run the following optional commands:

composer dump-autoload

if you are using uuid, just check these file ..._create_audits_table.php below:

Schema::create('audits', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->foreignId('user_id')->nullable(); // modify this line into foreignUuid method, do not change the column name
    $table->string('url');
    $table->dateTime('datetime');
    $table->double('request_time');
    $table->string('route')->nullable();
    $table->json('abilities')->nullable();
    $table->json('emails')->nullable();
    $table->json('models')->nullable();
    $table->json('notifications')->nullable();
    $table->json('properties')->nullable();
    $table->timestamps();
});
