Eloquent Model History

This package provides features to:

1. Log changes, diff and comments to Eloquent Models;
2. Track and log the execution history of Laravel Background Jobs;

Features:

• Record model creation, update, delete, and retrieval
• Add optional comments to events
• Add comment-only history events
• Automatically record the IP, URL, user agent and user ids when in an HTTP context
• Automatically detect the CLI, the command name when in an artisan command
• Automatically detect the queue and the job when running in a queued job
• Define included/excluded fields on a per-model basis
• Has a diff of the changed fields (old/new values)

$task = Task::create(['title' => 'Get milk', 'status' => 'todo']);
History::begin($task);

$task->update(['status' => 'done']);
History::logRecentUpdate($task);

The goal of tracking a job is to be able to show the status and updates of a background job on frontends. It is similar to logging, but is always scoped to a given job execution, and adds state to each job execution.

Features:

• Track the execution status of Laravel Jobs
• Set and read the completion % of a job execution
• Write logs for job executions
• Detect the user that has executed the job

class MyJob implements \Konekt\History\Contracts\TrackableJob
{
    use \Konekt\History\Concerns\CanBeTracked;
    
    public function __construct(private array $dataToProcess)
    {        
    }
    
    public function handle()
    {
        $tracker = $this->jobTracker();
        $tracker->setProgressMax(count($this->dataToProcess));
        $tracker->started();
        try {
            foreach ($this->dataToProcess as $data) {
                Do::something()->withThe($data);
                $tracker->advance();
                $tracker->logInfo('An entry was processed');
            }
            $tracker->completed();
        } catch (\Throwable $e) {
            $tracker->failed($e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

MyJob::dispatch($myDataToProcess);

The current version of this package requires PHP 8.3+ and Laravel 11 - 13. PHP 8.1, 8.2 and Laravel 10 are supported in earlier releases.

It has been tested with:

• PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 & 8.5
• SQLite,
• MySQL 5.7, 8.0, 8.2 & 8.4,
• PostgreSQL 12, 15, 16, 17, 18.

It is known that this library, Laravel 11.0/12.0 and PostgreSQL 11 don't work together, therefore it is recommended to use at least Postgres version 12 or higher in case your DB engine is Postgres.
