I am creating an application right now, where you can add different tasks. These tasks have a title, a description, a status, a created by, a created at, an updated by and an updated at. Created at and updated at come automatically in laravel, but I would like to also add a way to see which user created the task, and which user updated it. Unfortunately I don't really know where to start, so any help would be highly appreciated.
You you use the model observers (https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent#observers )
or you can add a boot method inside your model like this:
protected static function boot()
{
parent::boot();
static::created(function($model) {
$model->created_by = auth()->id();
});
static::updated(function($model) {
$model->updated_by = auth()->id();
});
}
Thank you! And how should I put this in my migrations? Just put it as an increment and reference the user table?
a better solution would be to do use a package: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-activitylog this will log all activities not just the 'last user'
