Details

This package is supposed to be a sort of drop-in addition to your code base for tracking when a user is performing any model events you want. The information is stored in a table, activities, and an Activity model is also provided for accessing that information., _(*9)

Customizing Processed Events

By default, created, updated, and deleted events are persisted to the table. You can change which events are processed by adding a static property to the model you have added the trait to:, _(*10)

    Class Tweet extends Model
    {
        use RecordsActivity;

        /**
         * Which events to record for the auth'd user.
         *
         * @var array
         */
        protected static $recordEvents = ['created'];
    }
