Simple API to write logs for Laravel.

Installation

Type in console:

composer require edujugon/laravel-log

Laravel 5.5 or higher?

Then you don't have to either register or add the alias, this package uses Package Auto-Discovery's feature, and should be available as soon as you install it via Composer.

(Laravel < 5.5) Register the Log service by adding it to the providers array.

'providers' => array(
        ...
        Edujugon\Log\Providers\LogServiceProvider::class
    )

Publish the package's configuration file to the application's own config directory.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Edujugon\Log\Providers\LogServiceProvider" --tag="config"

The above command will generate a new file under your laravel app config folder called log.php

Configuration

Update the log.php file with your data.
