Manual Logging
Use AuditService.log() for business events that are not automatically tracked by the Prisma extension.
Basic Usage
typescript
await auditService.log({
action: 'invoice.approved',
targetId: 'inv-123',
targetType: 'Invoice',
metadata: { amount: 5000, currency: 'USD' },
});With Transaction
typescript
await prisma.base.$transaction(async (tx) => {
await tx.invoice.update({ where: { id }, data: { status: 'approved' } });
await auditService.log({ action: 'invoice.approved', targetId: id }, tx);
// Both roll back together if anything fails

Reason Metadata
Use @AuditReason() when a handler needs to attach a human-readable reason to entries emitted during the request:
typescript
@Patch(':id/role')
@AuditAction('user.role.changed')
@AuditReason('admin role update')
async updateRole() {
// automatic tracking and manual logs can read the request audit reason
}
