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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package laravel-user-context

Laravel User Context

Latest Version on Packagist GitHub Tests Action Status Total Downloads

Know who is online, where they are, and what time it is for them — presence, timezone awareness, locale context and login metadata for any Laravel app.

A lightweight, database-driven foundation package. No Redis, no heavy dependencies — presence works without a queue worker; geolocation lookups are queued by default so they never block the request path.

Requirements

Installation

Publish and run the migrations:

Optionally publish the config file:

Add the trait to your authenticatable model:

Register the tracking middleware so activity is recorded on each request. In bootstrap/app.php (Laravel 11+):

That's it — logins, logouts, presence, locale and (optionally) geolocation are now tracked automatically.

Documentation

Publish the config (php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-user-context-config") and read the comments in config/user-context.php for every key. Notable defaults:

Key Default Why
ip.privacy anonymize Store /24 (IPv4) / /48 (IPv6) — not raw IPs
geolocation.driver null No external lookup until you opt into ipinfo / maxmind / ipapi
queue.enabled true Geo lookups never block the request that recorded activity
routes.middleware web, auth, throttle:60,1 Heartbeat is auth-gated and rate-limited

Usage at a glance

Presence

Keep a browser tab "online" with the bundled heartbeat component:

Presence source

Laravel's database session driver already records last_activity, ip_address and user_agent for the authenticated user on every request. Rather than duplicate that, the package can read presence straight from Laravel's own sessions table. This is controlled by presence.source:

Value Behavior
auto (default) Read from sessions when the database session driver is active and the table exists; otherwise fall back to the package's own columns.
sessions Always read from Laravel's sessions table (requires the database session driver).
table Always read from the package's user_contexts columns — works on every session driver, supports polymorphic user models, and keeps the package's IP privacy modes.

auto targets applications with a single authenticatable type. Presence reads (isOnline(), presence()->lastSeen(), location()->ipAddress(), location()->userAgent()) flow through the active source; login/logout timestamps, timezone, locale and geolocation always come from the package's own table, since Laravel's sessions table does not record them. The package still writes its own columns regardless of this setting, so switching sources never loses data.

[!NOTE] In sessions mode location()->ipAddress() returns the raw address Laravel stores on the session row; the user-context.ip.privacy modes (anonymize / hash / discard) apply only in table mode. Multi-guard or polymorphic setups should use the table source, because Laravel's sessions.user_id has no morph type.
