RA Audit Log

An audit log for React Admin.

Install

You can install this library via NPM or YARN.

NPM

npm i @blackbox-vision/ra-audit-log

YARN

yarn add @blackbox-vision/ra-audit-log

Use case

You need to track user events over your React Admin app.

Usage

The usage is really simple:

Define your dataProvider function like the following:

import { addEventsForMutations } from "@blackbox-vision/ra-audit-log";
import simpleRestProvider from "ra-data-simple-rest";
import authProvider from "./authProvider";

const dataProvider = addEventsForMutations(
  simpleRestProvider("http://path.to.my.api/"),
  authProvider
);

The addEventsForMutations function accepts the following options:

• name: the name of the event logs resource (defaults to events)

import { addEventsForMutations } from "@blackbox-vision/ra-audit-log";
import simpleRestProvider from "ra-data-simple-rest";
import authProvider from "./authProvider";

const dataProvider = addEventsForMutations(
  simpleRestProvider("http://path.to.my.api/"),
  authProvider,
  { name: "events" }
);

• resources: the resources and mutations you want to track with events. It can be an array of resource names or an array of arrays defining both the resource and the dataProvider calls to track

import { addEventsForMutations } from "@blackbox-vision/ra-audit-log";
import simpleRestProvider from "ra-data-simple-rest";
import authProvider from "./authProvider";

const dataProvider = addEventsForMutations(
  simpleRestProvider("http://path.to.my.api/"),
  authProvider,
  {
    resources: [
      // create an event for all known mutations on posts
      "posts",
      // create an event only for create and update on comments, but not for delete, deleteMany or updateMany
      ["comments", ["create", "update"]],
    ],
  }
);

• shouldAudit: as an alternative to resources, you can specify a function which, given a dataProvider method name (create, update, etc.) and the arguments it was called with, should return true to create an event. This allows to target custom dataProvider methods:

import { addEventsForMutations } from "@react-admin/ra-audit-log";
import simpleRestProvider from "ra-data-simple-rest";
import authProvider from "./authProvider";

const dataProvider = addEventsForMutations(
  simpleRestProvider("http://path.to.my.api/"),
  authProvider,
  {
    shouldAudit: (action, ...args) => {
      if (action === "myCustomMethod") {
        return true;
      }
    },
  }
);
