VERSION
version 0.009000
SYNOPSIS
package My::Package;
use Log::Contextual::WarnLogger;
use Log::Contextual qw( :log ),
-default_logger => Log::Contextual::WarnLogger->new({
env_prefix => 'MY_PACKAGE',
levels => [ qw(debug info notice warning error critical alert emergency) ],
});
# warns '[info] program started' if $ENV{MY_PACKAGE_TRACE} is set
log_info { 'program started' }; # no-op because info is not in levels
sub foo {
# warns '[debug] entered foo' if $ENV{MY_PACKAGE_DEBUG} is set
log_debug { 'entered foo' };
...
}
DESCRIPTION
This module is a simple logger made for libraries using Log::Contextual. We recommend the use of this logger as your default logger as it is simple and useful for most users, yet users can use "set_logger" in Log::Contextual to override your choice of logger in their own code thanks to the way Log::Contextual works.
METHODS
new
Arguments: Dict[ env_prefix => Str, levels => List ] $conf
my $l = Log::Contextual::WarnLogger->new({ env_prefix => 'BAR' });
or:
my $l = Log::Contextual::WarnLogger->new({
env_prefix => 'BAR',
levels => [ 'level1', 'level2' ],
});
Creates a new logger object where env_prefix
defines what the prefix is for the environment variables that will be checked for the log levels.
The log levels may be customized, but if not defined, these are used:
- trace
- debug
- info
- warn
- error
- fatal
For example, if env_prefix
is set to FREWS_PACKAGE
the following environment variables will be used:
FREWS_PACKAGE_UPTO
FREWS_PACKAGE_TRACE
FREWS_PACKAGE_DEBUG
FREWS_PACKAGE_INFO
FREWS_PACKAGE_WARN
FREWS_PACKAGE_ERROR
FREWS_PACKAGE_FATAL
Note that UPTO
is a convenience variable. If you set FOO_UPTO=TRACE
it will enable all log levels. Similarly, if you set it to FATAL
only fatal will be enabled.
$level
Arguments: @anything
All of the following six methods work the same. The basic pattern is:
sub $level {
my $self = shift;
warn "[$level] " . join qq{\n}, @_;
if $self->is_$level;
}
trace
$l->trace( 'entered method foo with args ' join q{,}, @args );
debug
$l->debug( 'entered method foo' );
info
$l->info( 'started process foo' );
warn
$l->warn( 'possible misconfiguration at line 10' );
error
$l->error( 'non-numeric user input!' );
fatal
$l->fatal( '1 is never equal to 0!' );
If different levels are specified, appropriate functions named for your custom levels work as you expect.
Note: fatal
does not call die
for you, see "EXCEPTIONS AND ERROR HANDLING" in Log::Contextual
is_$level
All of the following six functions just return true if their respective environment variable is enabled.
is_trace
say 'tracing' if $l->is_trace;
is_debug
say 'debuging' if $l->is_debug;
is_info
say q{info'ing} if $l->is_info;
is_warn
say 'warning' if $l->is_warn;
is_error
say 'erroring' if $l->is_error;
is_fatal
say q{fatal'ing} if $l->is_fatal;
If different levels are specified, appropriate is_$level functions work as you would expect.
