Laravel Auditable

A Laravel package that provides automatic auditing for Eloquent models.

Package Installation

1. Install Package

composer require kamel/laravel-auditable

Usage

Basic Usage

Add the Auditable trait to any Eloquent model:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Kamel\Auditable\Traits\Auditable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    use Auditable;

    protected $fillable = ['name', 'email', 'password'];
}

How It Works

Once the trait is added, all Eloquent operations are automatically audited:

// Creating a user - triggers audit
$user = User::create([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => '[email protected]'
]);

// Updating a user - triggers audit
$user = User::find(1);
$user->name = 'Jane Doe';
$user->save();

// Mass update - triggers audit
User::where('id', 1)->update(['email' => '[email protected]']);

Event Handling

The package dispatches AuditWasTriggered events. Listen for them.
