Laravel Activity Log UI

Laravel Activity Log UI is a Tailwind CSS-powered user interface for the popular Spatie Laravel Activitylog package. It gives you a drop-in dashboard to browse, filter, inspect and export the activity logs of your Laravel application.

Features

• Activity list with event badges, subject and causer links, relative timestamps and pagination.
• Inline change diff: expand any row to see the old and new value of every changed attribute.
• Detail page for each activity, with its changes, custom properties, raw JSON, batch and the full history of the same record.
• Filters: free-text search, model, subject ID, event, log name, causer, batch and date range. Active filters show as removable chips and are kept across pages.
• Statistics (total / created / updated / deleted) for the current filter.
• CSV export of the filtered result. Exports are streamed, capped and protected against spreadsheet formula injection.
• Authorization gate, configurable route prefix, domain and middleware.
• Dark mode, responsive layout, works with any database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server).

Activity Log View

Requirements

• PHP: ^8.0
• Laravel: ^9.0, ^10.0, ^11.0 or ^12.0
• spatie/laravel-activitylog: ^4.0

Installation

1. Install the package

   composer require nsd7/laravel-activitylog-ui
   

2. Set up spatie/laravel-activitylog

   Make sure the activity_log table exists. See the Spatie installation guide.

3. Visit the dashboard

   http://your-app.test/admin/activity-log
   

Authorization

By default the dashboard is protected by the web and auth middleware, so any logged-in user can access it. Restrict it by defining the viewActivityLogUi gate, for example in AppServiceProvider::boot():

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

Gate::define('viewActivityLogUi', function ($user) {
    return $user->is_admin;
});

Once the gate is defined, users who fail it receive a 403. You can use a different gate name with the gate config option.

Configuration

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=activitylog-ui-config

The main options in config/activitylog-ui.php:

A custom activity model configured through activitylog.activity_model is respected.

Customizing the views

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=activitylog-ui-views

The views are copied to resources/views/vendor/activitylog-ui/.

Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js

The views ship as a standalone page and load Tailwind CSS (Play CDN) and Alpine.js from a CDN. No build step is needed in your application. If you have a strict Content Security Policy, publish the views and swap the CDN scripts for your own compiled assets.

Routes

Supported query parameters: search, model, subject_id, event, log_name, causer_type, causer_id, batch_uuid, date_from, date_to (Y-m-d), per_page.

Testing

composer install
composer test
