FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package laravel-user-last-seen-at

Laravel User Last Seen At

Latest Version on Packagist Total Downloads

Store a last_seen_at timestamp on your users table and refresh it on each request for authenticated users—useful for “online recently” indicators or light activity tracking without extra tables.

Maintained by Lvlup.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

Run the migrations (the package registers its migration automatically):

Usage

Registering the Middleware

You need to append the middleware to your route groups (e.g., the web group). In Laravel 11+, you can do this in your bootstrap/app.php file:

Note: Guests are automatically skipped, and no database write occurs for unauthenticated users.

Your User model

This package does not ship a custom User model—you keep yours.

The middleware updates the timestamp using forceFill and saveQuietly. This means:

  1. last_seen_at does not need to be added to your $fillable array.
  2. It will not trigger any updated or saved Eloquent events, saving performance and preventing infinite loops in observers.

You may still want to cast it as a datetime in your User model for convenience:

Alternatives

laravel-user-last-seen-at is intentionally minimal: one nullable column and one middleware.

If you need comprehensive audit trails, rich activity feeds, or per-model event history, we recommend using spatie/laravel-activitylog or building a custom event-driven design.
