Details

This package is supposed to be a sort of drop-in addition to your code base for tracking when a user is performing any model events you want. The information is stored in a table, activities, and an Activity model is also provided for accessing that information.

Customizing Processed Events

By default, created, updated, and deleted events are persisted to the table. You can change which events are processed by adding a static property to the model you have added the trait to:

    
	Class Tweet extends Model
    {
        use RecordsActivity;
        
        /**
		 * Which events to record for the auth'd user.
		 *
		 * @var array
		 */
        protected static $recordEvents = ['created'];
    }
