The `spatie/laravel-activitylog` package provides easy to use functions to log the activities of the users of your app. It can also automatically log model events.
The package stores all activity in the `activity_log` table.

Here's a demo of how you can use it:

```php
activity()->log('Look, I logged something');
```

You can retrieve all activity using the `Spatie\Activitylog\Models\Activity` model.

```php
Activity::all();
```

Here's a more advanced example:

```php
activity()
   ->performedOn($anEloquentModel)
   ->causedBy($user)
   ->withProperties(['customProperty' => 'customValue'])
   ->log('Look, I logged something');

$lastLoggedActivity = Activity::all()->last();

$lastLoggedActivity->subject; //returns an instance of an eloquent model
$lastLoggedActivity->causer; //returns an instance of your user model
$lastLoggedActivity->getProperty('customProperty'); //returns 'customValue'
$lastLoggedActivity->description; //returns 'Look, I logged something'
```

Here's an example on [event logging](https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-activitylog/advanced-usage/logging-model-events).

```php
$newsItem->name = 'updated name';
$newsItem->save();

//updating the newsItem will cause the logging of an activity
$activity = Activity::all()->last();

$activity->description; //returns 'updated'
$activity->subject; //returns the instance of NewsItem that was saved
```

Calling `$activity->attribute_changes` will return this collection:

```php
[
   'attributes' => [
        'name' => 'updated name',
        'text' => 'Lorem',
    ],
    'old' => [
        'name' => 'original name',
        'text' => 'Lorem',
    ],
];
```
