Laravel-activitylog: How to use "withProperties" inside the model

[blindsz]

Hello, is anyone there know how to add a custom property using the LogsActivity trait inside the model?

Hey,
I hope that I understood what you need. If not please add a more precise example of what you want.

If you want to add custom attributes for auto logged model events the tapActivity() method would solve it.

Hi I'm talking about adding custom properties like this activity()->withProperties(['key' => 'value']). Can we do that inside the tapActivity method? I can only see adding custom fields value example in the documents of tapActivity method.

[blindsz]

under the Tap Activity before logged from event it says that "_This method will allow you to fill properties and add custom fields before the activity is saved._" but there is no example on how to fill properties only example on how to add custom fields.

Hey, I will close this issue. I already figured out how to customize properties using tapActivity. Thanks!

Hey, for completion: you get an instance of the Activity model in this method. So you can do everything you can do with a normal model. To add a property you can take a look in the ActivityLogger::withProperty() method.

$activity->properties = $activity->properties->put($key, $value);
