• Configurable logging options.
• Supports Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS themes for the log viewer. (soon)
• Route URL customization.
• Migration publishing for database setup.

Compatibility

Laravel Version Support

This package supports Laravel 9 and above.

We ensure compatibility with the latest Laravel versions while maintaining support for older versions starting from Laravel 9.

To install the package in your Laravel project, make sure you have PHP 8.0 or above and run:

composer require mohsen-mhm/laravel-tracking

For Laravel 9, the package ensures compatibility by leveraging doctrine/dbal version ^3.x. For Laravel 10 and 11, the package uses doctrine/dbal version ^4.x. These are dynamically managed based on your Laravel version.

Configuration

The configuration file (config/tracking.php) allows you to control the package's behavior:

Usage

Middleware

The TrackRequests middleware handles request logging. You can add it to your middleware stack:

protected $middleware = [
    \MohsenMhm\LaravelTracking\Http\Middleware\TrackRequests::class,
];

Accessing the Logs

Visit the route defined in the configuration (route_url) to view the logs. For example:

http://your-app.test/request-logs

Publishing Migrations

To customize the database schema for logging, publish and modify the migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=tracker-migrations

Customizing the Route

You can change the route URL in the configuration file:

'route_url' => 'custom-log-url',

Access the logs at:

http://your-app.test/custom-log-url

Custom IP Resolution

You can define your own IP resolution logic by setting a callback in your config/tracking.php:

'ip_resolver' => function (Request $request) {
    return $request->header('X-Forwarded-For') ?? $request->ip();
},
