README

This extension provides timestamps and user actions tracking for entity create, update and delete.

By using only one trait and listener you can automate update of created_at, created_by, updated_at, updated_by, deleted_at, deleted_by.

Listener will automatically set date times and also usernames into each entity which contains mentioned fields.

Installation

composer require adrianglazer/DoctrineFootprintExtension

Setup

By default all functionalities are enabled together with soft deletable. If you would like to disable soft deletable you will have to create your own Trait without deletedAt and deletedBy fields.

You have to set a doctrine filter config inside config/packages/doctrine.yaml:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        ...
    orm:
        ...
        mappings:
            ...
        filters:
            footprint:
                class: Glazer\DoctrineFootprintExtension\Filter\FootprintFilter
                enabled: true

and set a listener inside config/services.yaml:

    Glazer\DoctrineFootprintExtension\Listener\FootprintListener:
        class: Glazer\DoctrineFootprintExtension\Listener\FootprintListener
        autowire: true
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_subscriber }
        arguments: ['@security.token_storage']

Conclusion

If you set everything correctly your entities will start to update automatically on each user action. It's an out of the box solution designed for simple projects.
