What events are available in OctopyID/LaraPersonate for improving workflow


According to the documentation for OctopyID/LaraPersonate, there are two events available that can be used to improve your workflow:

1. `Octopy\Impersonate\Events\BeginImpersonation`: This event is fired when an impersonation begins.

2. `Octopy\Impersonate\Events\LeaveImpersonation`: This event is fired when an impersonation ends.

You can use these events to perform additional actions or logging when a user starts or stops impersonating another user. For example, you could use the `BeginImpersonation` event to log the impersonation activity or send a notification to the impersonated user.

Here's an example of how you could use these events in your application:

php
// In your EventServiceProvider
protected $listen = [
    'Octopy\Impersonate\Events\BeginImpersonation' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogImpersonationStart',
    ],
    'Octopy\Impersonate\Events\LeaveImpersonation' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogImpersonationEnd',
    ],
];

// In your LogImpersonationStart listener
class LogImpersonationStart
{
    public function handle(BeginImpersonation $event)
    {
        // Log the impersonation start
        Log::info('Impersonation started', [
            'impersonator' => $event->impersonator->name,
            'impersonated' => $event->impersonated->name,
        ]);
    }
}

// In your LogImpersonationEnd listener
class LogImpersonationEnd
{
    public function handle(LeaveImpersonation $event)
    {
        // Log the impersonation end
        Log::info('Impersonation ended', [
            'impersonator' => $event->impersonator->name,
            'impersonated' => $event->impersonated->name,
        ]);
    }
}

By using these events, you can extend the functionality of OctopyID/LaraPersonate to better fit the needs of your application and improve your overall workflow.
