Usage
Middleware Usage
Events for laravel authentication scaffolding are listened for as providers and are enabled via middleware.
You can add events to your routes and controllers via the middleware:, (*14)
activity
Example to start recording page views using middlware in web.php
:, (*15)
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web', 'activity']], function () {
Route::get('/', 'WelcomeController@welcome')->name('welcome');
});
This middlware can be enabled/disabled in the configuration settings., (*16)
Trait Usage
Events can be recorded directly by using the trait.
When using the trait you can customize the event description., (*17)
To use the trait:
1. Include the call in the head of your class file:, (*18)
```php
use jeremykenedy\LaravelLogger\App\Http\Traits\ActivityLogger;
```
-
Include the trait call in the opening of your class:, (*19)
use ActivityLogger;
-
You can record the activity by calling the traits method:, (*20)
ActivityLogger::activity("Logging this activity.");
Or as bellow to include extended activity details:, (*21)
ActivityLogger::activity("Logging this activity.", "Additional activity details.");
Or even including the model related to the activity:, (*22)
ActivityLogger::activity("Logging this activity.", "Additional activity details.", ["id" => 1, "model" => "App\Models\User"]);
Routes
Laravel Activity Dashbaord Routes
/activity
/activity/cleared
/activity/log/{id}
/activity/cleared/log/{id}
Custom package routes
If you wish to change the route paths, names or other options you can disable the default routes in your .env
file by setting, (*23)
LARAVEL_LOGGER_DISABLE_ROUTES=true
If you are on an existing install, you will also need update your laravel-logger.php
config file to add the config option:, (*24)
'disableRoutes' => env('LARAVEL_LOGGER_DISABLE_ROUTES', false),
You can then add the routes directly to your application's routes/web.php
file, and customise as required., (*25)
Route::group(['prefix' => 'activity', 'namespace' => 'jeremykenedy\LaravelLogger\App\Http\Controllers', 'middleware' => ['web', 'auth', 'activity']], function () {
// Dashboards
Route::get('/', 'LaravelLoggerController@showAccessLog')->name('activity');
Route::get('/cleared', ['uses' => 'LaravelLoggerController@showClearedActivityLog'])->name('cleared');
// Drill Downs
Route::get('/log/{id}', 'LaravelLoggerController@showAccessLogEntry');
Route::get('/cleared/log/{id}', 'LaravelLoggerController@showClearedAccessLogEntry');
// Forms
Route::delete('/clear-activity', ['uses' => 'LaravelLoggerController@clearActivityLog'])->name('clear-activity');
Route::delete('/destroy-activity', ['uses' => 'LaravelLoggerController@destroyActivityLog'])->name('destroy-activity');
Route::post('/restore-log', ['uses' => 'LaravelLoggerController@restoreClearedActivityLog'])->name('restore-activity');
});
Search
adding dynamic search fields (description , user, URL , method and ip address), (*26)
When dealing with millions activity records, default behavior of not paginate records or Laravel's paginator (enabled LARAVEL_LOGGER_PAGINATION_ENABLED=true
) may lead to huge performance penalties. For that use case you may set LARAVEL_LOGGER_CURSOR_PAGINATION_ENABLED=true
to enable Laravel's Cursor Pagination feature. This will heavily improve Laravel Logger page loading time. If you choose to do so it's advisable to read Cursor vs. Offset Pagination section on Laravel's documentation to get acquainted with Cursor Pagination limitations., (*27)
.env file
add these configurations to your .env file to control the logging search, (*28)
LARAVEL_LOGGER_ENABLE_SEARCH=true
// you can customize your search using these options [description,user,method,route,ip]
LARAVEL_LOGGER_SEARCH_FIELDS=description,user,method,route,ip
by default all search fields are enabled when you enable the search with this one line configuration, (*29)
LARAVEL_LOGGER_SEARCH_ENABLE=true
