A library that allows you to track different devices used per user

This package implements a "google like" device detection.

You can detect when a user is using a new device and manage the verified status between user and device.

You can also detect a possible device hijacking.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require ivanomatteo/laravel-device-tracking

Publish migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider "IvanoMatteo\LaravelDeviceTracking\LaravelDeviceTrackingServiceProvider" --tag migrations

Run migrations:

php artisan migrate

Publish config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider "IvanoMatteo\LaravelDeviceTracking\LaravelDeviceTrackingServiceProvider" --tag config

Usage

use IvanoMatteo\LaravelDeviceTracking\Facades\DeviceTracker;
use IvanoMatteo\LaravelDeviceTracking\Traits\UseDevices;

// add the trait to your user model
class User {
    use UseDevices;
}


// call on login or when you want update and check the device informations
// by default this function is called when the Login event is fired 
// only with the "web" auth guard
// if you want you can disable the detect_on_login option in the config file
$device = DeviceTracker::detectFindAndUpdate();


// flag as verified for the current user
DeviceTracker::flagCurrentAsVerified();

// flag as verified for a specific user
DeviceTracker::flagAsVerified($device, $user_id);

// flag as verified for a specific user by device uuid
DeviceTracker::flagAsVerifiedByUuid($device_uuid, $user_id);

If you are using Session Authentication it's possible to add the middleware IvanoMatteo\LaravelDeviceTracking\Http\Middleware\DeviceTrackerMiddleware in app/Http/Kernel.php, at the end of web group.

This way, the device will also be checked for subsequents requests to the login request. DeviceTrackerMiddleware will store the md5(request()->ip() . $device_uuid . $user_agent ) inside the session so the detection will be executed again only if the hash does not match.

Following events can be emitted:

• DeviceCreated

  when a new device is detected and stored

• DeviceUpdated

  when some information of a device is changed

• DeviceHijacked

  when critical device information is changed. You can also define a custom DeviceHijackingDetector. After this event, the device will be updated, and the next time, DeviceHijacked will not be emitted, but the device will have the field device_hijacked_at with the last DeviceHijacked event timestamp.

• UserSeenFromNewDevice

  when a user is detected on a device for the first time

• UserSeenFromUnverifiedDevice

  when a user is detected on a device not for the first time and the device is not flagged as verified
