composite_logger.cr

Logger interface to write to multiple loggers for Crystal.

logger = CompositeLogger.new(loggers)
logger.info("hello")
# => (stdout) "hello"
# => (a file) "hello"

In addition, this add a Logger#formatter=(str : String) method to core library. See: src/ext/logger.cr

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  composite_logger:
    github: maiha/composite_logger.cr
    version: 0.3.1

Usage

require "composite_logger"

logging to both File and STDOUT

loggers = [
  Logger.new(STDOUT),
  Logger.new(File.open("app.log")),
]
logger = CompositeLogger.new(loggers)
logger.info("hello")

in memory logging

memory: option provides a handy in-memory logging.

loggers = [Logger.new(STDOUT)]
logger = CompositeLogger.new(loggers, memory: Logger::ERROR)
...
unless logger.memory.to_s.empty?
  STDERR.puts "Some errors occurred while running program."
  exit -1
end

Logger#formatter=(fmt : String)

This library enhanced stdlib Logger#formtter= to accept format string.

The traditional way to set formatter is not pretty.

logger.formatter = Logger::Formatter.new do |severity, datetime, progname, message, io|
  io << severity.to_s << "," << message
end
logger.info "foo" # => "INFO,foo\n"

This can be simply refactored by {{KEYWORD(=FORMAT)}} as follows.

logger.formatter = "{{severity}},{{message}}"
logger.info "foo" # => "INFO,foo\n"
