Laravel User Timestamps

This is a drop in replacement for HasTimestamps trait in Laravel. It will add the additional fields. created_by_id and updated_by_id of the user that performed the operation.

It also supports polymorphic relationship which will add created_by_type and updated_by_type fields.

It also has support for SoftDeletes replacing Laravel's built in SoftDeletes trait to include deleted_by_id for the user who performed the soft delete.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require robjbrain/laravel-user-timestamps

Usage

Add the CacheMutationsTrait trait to a model you like to cache the mutations of.

use Robjbrain\LaravelUserTimestamps\HasUserTimestamps;
use Robjbrain\LaravelUserTimestamps\UserSoftDeletes;

class YourEloquentModel extends Model
{
    use HasUserTimestamps;
    use UserSoftDeletes;
    
    // This will behave the same UserTimestamps
    public $timestamps = true;
    
    // This will utilise the updated_by_id and created_by_id fields
    public $userTimestamps = true;
    
    // This will utilise the updated_by_type and created_by_type fields
    public $polymorphicTimestamps = true;
    
    // This will utilise the deleted_by_id field
    public $userSoftDeletes = true;
    
    // This will utilise the deleted_by_type field
    public $polymorphicSoftDeletes = true;
}

If you are using $polymorphicTimestamps you don't need to set $userTimestamps or $timestamps to true.

If you are using $userTimestamps you do not need to set $timestamps to true.
