Laravel News: Track Laravel Model Changes with Laravel Auditing
On the Laravel News site there's a post sharing a helpful package that can provide an audit trail for model changes, helping you automatically keep track of what changed when.
Laravel Auditing is a Laravel package that aims to make it easy to track eloquent model changes. The documentation describes Laravel Auditing as follows:"This package will help you understand changes in your Eloquent models, by providing information about possible discrepancies and anomalies that could indicate business concerns or suspect activities.
Laravel Auditing allows you to keep a history of model changes by simply using a trait. Retrieving the audited data is straightforward, making it possible to display it in various ways."
The post talks about another use case for the package - handling versioning for records (like auto-saving a blog post periodically). An example is included showing how to implement the package on the model, show an audit history and a Blade view to show the results.
