How to log model history
I need to log history of entity changes, but including its relations. The first idea was to use events. BUT there is a problem. I can not ensure that whole entity including its relations will be stored when update event triggers. So the question is what is a best practise for something like this. I would like to have history like some properties in the table and whole entity including relations like json in the table.
How to do it if entity->save() is called before relations->sync()?
Thanks for help.

@automica But I do not see any documentation to related enetities. Is it really what I need?

In addition, you might also want to have a look at Spatie's activity log package.

Is there a way to do it without any other package?

@Čamo Sure, you can use the database to handle all the logging for you, here is a post on how you can do that.

@Čamo Or you can implement that feature yourself by checking attribute changes and define model events

I made a middleware which runs after whole request is done and which have access to new entity with all relations and make history image from it.
