Package to maintain the users who created, updated and deleted eloquent models

Provides an Eloquent trait to automatically maintain the created_by, updated_by, and deleted_by (when using softDeletes) on your models by the currently logged in user.

Installation and usage

This package requires PHP 7.2 and Laravel 5.6 or higher. Install the package by running the following command in your console;

composer require sqits/laravel-userstamps

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sqits\UserStamps\UserStampsServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [

    /*
     * Define the table which is used in the database to retrieve the users
     */

    'users_table' => 'users',
    
    /*
     * Define the table column type which is used in the table schema for
     * the id of the user
     *
     * Options: increments, bigIncrements, uuid, ulid
     * Default: bigIncrements
     */

    'users_table_column_type' => 'bigIncrements',

    /*
     * Define the name of the column which is used in the foreign key reference
     * to the id of the user
     */

    'users_table_column_id_name' => 'id',
    
    /*
     * Define the mmodel which is used for the relationships on your models
     */
    
    'users_model' => \App\Models\User::class,
    
    /*
     * Define the column which is used in the database to save the user's id
     * which created the model.
     */

    'created_by_column' => 'created_by',

    /*
     * Define the column which is used in the database to save the user's id
     * which updated the model.
     */

    'updated_by_column' => 'updated_by',

    /*
     * Define the column which is used in the database to save the user's id
     * which deleted the model.
     */

    'deleted_by_column' => 'deleted_by',

];

Add the macro to your migration of your model

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('table_name', function (Blueprint $table) {
        ...

        $table->userstamps();
        $table->softUserstamps();
    });
}   

Add the Trait to your model

use Sqits\UserStamps\Concerns\HasUserStamps;

class Example extends Model {

    use HasUserStamps;
}

There will be methods available to retrieve the user object which performs the action for creating, updating or deleting

$model->author; // the user who created the model
$model->editor; // the user who last updated the model
$model->destroyer; // the user who deleted the model
