Installation & setup

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-notification-log

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="notification-log-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Optionally, you can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="notification-log-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    /*
     * This model will be used to log all sent notifications
     */
    'model' => Spatie\NotificationLog\Models\NotificationLogItem::class,

    /*
     * Log items older than this number of days will be automatically be removed.
     *
     * This feature uses Laravel's native pruning feature:
     * https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/eloquent#pruning-models
     */
    'prune_after_days' => 30,

    /*
     * If this is set to true, any notification that does not have a
     * `shouldLog` method will be logged.
     */
    'log_all_by_default' => config('notification-log.log_all_by_default'),

    /*
     * By overriding these actions, you can make low level customizations. You can replace
     * these classes by a class of your own that extends the original.
     *
     */
    'actions' => [
        'convertEventToModel' => Spatie\NotificationLog\Actions\ConvertNotificationSendingEventToLogItemAction::class
    ],

    /*
     * The event subscriber that will listen for the notification events fire by Laravel.
     * In most cases, you don't need to touch this. You could replace this by
     * a class of your own that extends the original.
     */
    'event_subscriber' => Spatie\NotificationLog\NotificationEventSubscriber::class,
];

This package will store all sent notifications in the notification_log_items table. The related NotificationLogItems models uses the Laravel's MassPrunable trait. In the notification-log config file, you can specify the maximum age of a model in the prune_after_days key. Don't forget to schedule the model:prune command, as instructed in Laravel's docs. You'll have to explicitly add the model class:

// in app/Console/Kernel.php

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
         $schedule->command('model:prune', [
                    '--model' => [
                        \Spatie\NotificationLog\Models\NotificationLogItem::class,
                    ],
        ])->daily();
    
        // ...   
    }
}
