Trakker Official Laravel Client

Trakker is a simple and easy to use website analytics service that supports server side logging. To learn more, visit trakker.techies.africa

Getting Started

First things first, create an app on Trakker to obtain your APP_KEY and APP_SECRET.

Installation

composer require techies-africa/laravel_trakker

Next, add the service provider to your app/config.php file under the list of providers.

'providers' => [
    ...,
    App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
    TechiesAfrica\LaravelTrakker\Providers\TrakkerServiceProvider::class,
    ...
],

Finally, add the middleware to your app\Http\Kernel.php file under the $middleware array. You can add it under any array that best suites your needs.

protected $middleware = [
     ...,
     \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
     TechiesAfrica\LaravelTrakker\Middlewares\TrakkerMiddleware::class,
     ...
];

Setup complete. Now you need to add your keys to your .env file.

TRAKKER_BASE_URL="https://trakker.techies.africa"
TRAKKER_APP_KEY="*************"
TRAKKER_APP_SECRET="********"
TRAKKER_LOG_CHANNEL="stack"

If you wish to log errors in a seperate file other than the default laravel.log file, then, add this to array of channels in the app/logging.php file.

 'trakker' => [
     'driver' => 'single',
     'path' => storage_path('logs/trakker.log'),
     'level' => 'debug',
 ],

Usage

Once installation is complete , you should be able to see your activities on your app`s dashboard. You can customize the configurations as you see fit.

This is what the TrakkerMiddleware looks like. If you would like to implement it differently , do well to create a middleware , copy the content of the handle method and remember to register your new middleware in your Kernel file.

<?php

namespace TechiesAfrica\LaravelTrakker\Middlewares;

use TechiesAfrica\LaravelTrakker\Services\TrakkerService;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class TrakkerMiddleware
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        $tracker = TrakkerService::tracker();
        // $tracker->setIgnoreRoutes([
        //     "web.read_file"
        // ]);
        // $tracker->setAuthenticatedMiddlewares(["auth" , "admin" , "verified"]);
        // $tracker->setIgnoreMiddlewares(["Barryvdh\Debugbar\Middleware\DebugbarEnabled"]);
        // $tracker->setUserFields(["id" => "id", "name" => "full_name", "email" => "email"]);
        // $tracker->setShouldLog(false);
        $tracker->preRequest($request);

        $response =  $next($request);

        // TrakkerService::log("pushing data");
        $tracker->postRequest($request)
            ->push();

        return $response;
    }
}

The TrakkerService::tracker(); instance can be accessed from anywhere in your application and can be used to modify the initial values set in the middleware.
