Basic Usage

Logging user activity:

Activity::log([
  'contentId'   => $user->id,
  'content' => 'User',
  'action'      => 'ACTION',
  'state'       => 'SUCCESS',
  'details'     => 'Username: ' . $user->username,
  'data'        => json_encode($data)
]);

The above code will log an activity for the currently logged in user. The IP address will automatically be saved as well.

Variable guidelines

  • content: type of content we are dealing with, can be set to match PHP class, controller, model, ... It gives us more context where this action has taken place.
  • contentId (option): id of content, in case of a model
  • action: method name, sub-action in method, ..
  • state: state of action such as ERROR, SUCCESS, WRONG_CODE, ...
  • details: more like meta date about current state
  • data: raw data, fetched content, posted content, ...
