Usage and Examples

Create an instance of Audit passing request and the object you want to log, then call the method create(), update() or delete() to generate a log with the appropriate action: CREATE, UPDATE or DELETE.

First you have to import the Audit class:

from django_auditor.auditor import Audit

New object

new_car = Car(name='Civic', manufacturer='Honda', color='Red')
new_car.save()
auditor = Audit(request, new_car).create()

Update Object

change_car = Car.objects.get(name='Civic')
auditor = Audit(request, change_car)
change_car.name = 'City'
change_car.color = 'Yellow'
change_car.save()
auditor.update()

Delete Object

remove_car = Car.objects.get(name='City')
auditor = Audit(request, remove_car)
remove_car.delete()
auditor.delete()

Now open http://yoursiteURL/auditor to check your logs.
