Its easy to use in your laravel app. You can save all audit and error log type data and then also show all in your laravel app. Easy to track your actions and also find errors from your application by using this package. All logs are stored in database in this package.

Getting Started

• Create a fresh laravel package

• change directory to the new folder

cp .env.example .env

• generate the app key

php artisan key:generate

• You can install the package via composer::

composer require mdhossain/laravel-logs

• Next, we need to add our new Service Provider in our config/app.php inside the providers array:

'providers' => [
         ...,
            App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class, 
            // Our new package class
            Mdhossain\LaravelLogs\LaravelLogsServiceProvider::class,
         ],

• Migrate the database tables

php artisan migrate:refresh

• You can use your controller for log data save:

use MDHossain\laravelLogs\Contracts\ActivityLogInterface;

public function insertUser(ActivityLogInterface $activitylog){
    
    $activitylog->dataSave($id=null, $log_description, $data, $log_title, $log_type);
    
}

• You can use your controller for log data show:

use MDHossain\laravelLogs\Contracts\ActivityLogInterface;

public function showLogs(ActivityLogInterface $activitylog){
    
    For audit logs
    $activitylog->getAllAuditLogs();

    For error logs
    $activitylog->getAllErrorLogs();
    
}

• You can use your controller for log data show by date wise search:

use MDHossain\laravelLogs\Contracts\ActivityLogInterface;

public function filterLogs(ActivityLogInterface $activitylog){
    
    For audit logs Search by to date and from date
    $activitylog->allAuditLogs($search = array();

    For error logs Search by to date and from date
    $activitylog->allErrorLogs($search = array();
    
}

• You can browse for log show:

http://localhost:8000/audit-log
http://localhost:8000/error-log

OR

• Call your controller direct view

return view('laravel-logs::auditlogs.audit-log');
return view('laravel-logs::errorlogs.error-log');

And finally, start the application by running:

php artisan serve
