README

This package provides a number of traits to track changes made to a model.

Install

Via composer:

$ composer require hnhdigital-os/laravel-model-change-tracking ~1.0

This package's service provider will autoload from Laravel 5.5.

To enable the service provider in versions prior to Laravel 5.4, edit the config/app.php:

    'providers' => [
        ...
        Bluora\LaravelModelChangeTracking\ServiceProvider::class,
        ...
    ];

State Change

Track state changes on your model and by which user for the following states - created, updated, deleted, and restored.

Attribute Change Trait

Adds a saving event to the model to track changes to all attribute values.

Change by User Trait

Adds events to set a attribute to the current user for when a model is created, updated, archived, or deleted.

Usage

User tracking of changes.

Add a created_by, updated_by, archived_by, and deleted_by attributes to your model's database table.

namespace App\Models;

use Bluora\LaravelModelChangeTracking\ChangeByUserTrait;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    use ChangeByUserTrait;
}

Turn off tracking attribute

You can turn off by returning false.

public function getCreatedByColumn()
{
    return false;
}

public function getUpdatedByColumn()
{
    return false;
}

public function getArchivedByColumn()
{
    return false;
}

public function getDeletedByColumn()
{
    return false;
}

Different attribute name

You can specify the attribute name in the return value.

public function getCreatedByColumn()
{
    return 'created_by';
}

public function getUpdatedByColumn()
{
    return 'updated_by';
}

public function getArchivedByColumn()
{
    return 'updated_by';
}

public function getDeletedByColumn()
{
    return 'deleted_by';
}

use Bluora\LaravelModelChangeTracking\LogStateChangeTrait;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
