How to save the time when user logs out?(closed)

I use Laravel 5.8 authentication and authorization. I have an 'Admin' who manages Companies and Workers. When Admin login i want to show what new companies and users was created since last admin session. For that i thought to store in database time when Admin's session finished and query from database all Companies and Workers what was created since last session. If Admin use logout i can store time in database, but how to store time if Admin just close tab ??

--------------*-

I created middleware to save time from last request:

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if(Auth::check()){
            $id = Auth::id();
            Admin::whereId($id)->update(['last_enter' => now("Europe/Moscow")]);
        }

        return $next($request);
    }

Since you want to archieve this only using laravel I would suggest you to check middlewares. You can have a middleware where are requests will pass through so last request for you mean that that's the last time user has used it.

Here you can learn more about middleware in laravel.

Speaking anecdotally, you can use sendBeacon with the unload event to send a request. I had to use it to capture the amount of time a user spent watching a video and if they closed the tab I needed to record it, this method worked consistently for me.

window.addEventListener('unload', function() {
    navigator.sendBeacon('your-url',
      JSON.stringify({})
    );
}, false);

Alternatively, you could in those instances where the user closes the window set the logout time to the session timeout time, for example: sign-in-time + session-timeout-time = logout-time, but again, that isn't "accurate".
