Questions

  • Why it was written as action and not as separate controller?

The reason is because LogController seems to be popular name for me. By using action, you can just "inject" it wherever you want

  • Why did you use Laravel Collections ?

There are 2 reasons of it

  1. They have very neat API
  2. yii2 collections was not stable at the moment of the development
