An activity logger for Laravel 5

Original – by Freek Van der Herten – 1 minute read

The activitylog-package provides a very easy way to log activities of the users of your app. Today I took the time to make it compatible with Laravel 5.

Logging some activity couldn't be easier:

[code] /* The log-function takes two parameters: - $text: the activity you wish to log. - $user: optional can be an user id or a user object. if not proved the id of Auth::user() will be used

*/ Activity::log('Some activity that you wish to log');



The string you pass to function gets written in a db-table together with a timestamp, the ip address and the user agent of the user.
