$revisionCreationsEnabled only tracks created_at

[eleftrik]

Hi, I just installed revisionable in a Laravel 5.3 project.

In my models I set $revisionCreationsEnabled = true. When I create a record (through Eloquent), only key created_at gets stored in the revisions table.
Shouldn't it save any model property?
If my model has 3 properties, let's say $name, $description, $state, when I create a record I'm expecting to see 3 rows (3 keys) in the revisions table, one for each model property. Am I wrong?

Thank you.

Same issue here using laravel 5.2 & revisionable 1.28.

This could be an enhancement/additional option, but that is the expected behavior.

When I've used it/tracked revisions in the past, I can assume that that the "created_at" indicates when it was created, and then any revision after that is a modification. My revert functionality will take the current record and traverse backward down the revisions to get to the "original".

I agree that that is extra work (and also has the caveat if you don't record certain columns).

I have created -and closed- this issue because I didn't see this other.

If is needed to record all fields it could be done overriding boot method and using the static saving or saved method to create a new record in revisions table.

This issue can be closed, isn't it ?

I have implemented the below on the model's boot method to store the starting values for fields I need

      public static function boot()
      {
          parent::boot();
  
          self::created(function($model){
              $revisions = [];
              $revisions[] = array(
                  'revisionable_type' => $model->getMorphClass(),
                  'revisionable_id' => $model->getKey(),
                  'key' => 'my_field',
                  'old_value' => null,
                  'new_value' => $model->my_field,
                  'user_id' => Auth::check() ? Auth::user()->getAuthIdentifier() : null,
                  'created_at' => new DateTime(),
                  'updated_at' => new DateTime(),
              );
              $revision = Revisionable::newModel();
              DB::table($revision->getTable())->insert($revisions);
          });
      }
