Strapi, an open-source, headless, and customizable Content Management System (CMS), enables developers to construct diverse digital platforms from simple websites to intricate e-commerce systems like Shopify. This tutorial details how to implement audit logging in a Strapi application using lifecycle hooks, which are triggered by specific events such as content creation, update, deletion, or search. The tutorial guides users through configuring these hooks to log actions within an "AuditLog" collection type, thereby enhancing security and user trust by maintaining comprehensive logs of user activities. By employing lifecycle hooks like afterCreate, afterUpdate, afterDelete, and others, developers can automate the recording of user actions and changes, thus facilitating robust content management and security compliance. The process involves setting up the necessary software, creating collection types, and coding the lifecycle hooks to ensure all actions are logged appropriately, ultimately allowing developers to monitor and trace content operations effectively.
