Activity log
This is an open source laravel project that you can use to monitor whatever post activity a user create on your project (The most reputable Laravel package provided for detecting user agent is Agent developed by Jens Segers and its the one I will use. All the information you need to know about user are accessible by using Agent)
it saves the user
- device
- platform
- browser
- IP address
- user auth id
- user auth email
- user activity
in your laravel project run:
composer require jenssegers/agent
Then find the config/app.php and then find providers array add:
Jenssegers\Agent\AgentServiceProvider::class,
In the same config/app.php file find the aliases array and add:
'Agent' => Jenssegers\Agent\Facades\Agent::class,
then run:
php artisan make:model ActivityLog -m
this will create 2 files
- ActivityLog.php in your app folder
- activity log migration file in your database/migration folder (something like
2020_06_21_151755_create_activity_logs_table
) open your ActivityLog.php and add the following codes inside the class {...}
protected $fillable = [
'device',
'platform',
'browser',
'ip_address',
'user_id',
'user_email',
'user_activity'
];
open your migration file in 2 above and add the following lines inside the schema function after $table->id();
$table->string('device');
$table->string('platform');
$table->string('browser');
$table->string('ip_address');
$table->string('user_id')->nullable();
$table->string('user_email');
$table->string('user_activity');
if you don't have an authentication scaffold already in your project run:
php artisan make:auth
for laravel 5.8 and below
for laravel 6.0 and above run:
composer require laravel/ui
php artisan ui vue --auth
create a folder called "Services" in your app folder and create a file called ActivityService.php (app\services\ActivityServices.php), open your ActivityService.php file and add the following code:
<?php
namespace App\Services;
use App\ActivityLog;
use Jenssegers\Agent\Agent;
class ActivityService
{
protected $activityLog;
public function __construct(
ActivityLog $activityLog
) {
$this->activityLog = $activityLog;
}
public function enterActivity($user_activity,$email)
{
$agent = new Agent();
$platform = $agent->platform();
// Ubuntu, Windows, OS X, ...
$browser = $agent->browser();
// Chrome, IE, Safari, Firefox, ...
$this->activityLog->create([
'platform' => $agent->version($platform),
'browser' => $agent->version($browser),
'device' => $agent->device(),
'ip_address' => \Request::ip(),
'user_id' => null,
'user_email' => $email,
'user_activity' => $user_activity
]);
}
}
run migration in order to create the activity log table in your DB
open RegisterController.php and call the Activity service:
use App\Services\ActivityService;
in your RegisterController class add protected $activityService;
in your __construct() method add ActivityService $activityService
and in the __construct() function add $this->activityService = $activityService;
your __construct() method code should look like
protected $activityService;
public function __construct(ActivityService $activityService)
{
$this->activityService = $activityService;
$this->middleware('guest');
}
then add the below code in your create function
$user_activity = 'user attempted to login'
;
$email = $data['email'];
$this->activityService->enterActivity($user_activity,$email);
try to register, once you have registered, check the activity log table you will see all the details of the person
including his IP address, the $user_activity can be changed to whatever you like depending on the user activity, The service can be called anywhere in your controller, just remember to include the $user_activity and $email
