Logify
======
Logify is an incredibly light-weight Ruby logger with a developer-friendly API and no dependencies. It is intentionally very opinionated and is optimized for speed. This combination makes it perfect for command line applications.
Logify does:
- Support multithreading with inherited defaults
- Provide a very pretty debug logger
- Make logging fun again!
Logify does not:
- Depend on or inherit from Ruby's core `Logger` class
- Manage the log device - if you wish to write your logs to a file, it is your responsibility to manage the file handler, rewind, etc.
Usage
-----
Simply include the `Logify` module in each class you want to log:
```ruby
require 'logify'
class MyClass
include Logify
end
```
This will expose a `log` method on both the class and instance:
```ruby
MyClass.log 'This is a class log message!'
instance = MyClass.new
instance.log 'This is an instance log message!'
```
In debug mode, Logify is designed for developer happiness. Parameters are aligned, and visual queues are used to indicate status. The format is as follows:
```text
MyClass | ===> Starting some command...
MyClass | x = 0
MyClass | y = 99
MyClass | **** x is 0
MyClass | >>>> Cannot divide by 0
MyClass | !!!! Ruby segfaulted
```
Where the prefixes are:
```ruby
FATAL #=> "!!!!"
ERROR #=> ">>>>"
WARN #=> "****"
INFO #=> "===>"
DEBUG #=> " "
```
Class names are automatically shortened if they exceed 32 characters.
In non-debug mode, Logify is less chatty:
```text
I: Starting some command
W: x is 0
E: Cannot divide by 0
F: Ruby segfaulted
```
Where the letter corresponds to the log level:
```ruby
FATAL #=> "F"
ERROR #=> "E"
WARN #=> "W"
INFO #=> "I"
```
If you are anti-modules (or if you want to use `log` for something else), you can manually create your Logger object in an initializer:
```ruby
require 'logify'
class MyClass
def initialize
@logger = Logify.logger_for(self.class.name) # Or any custom name
end
end
```
And then use `@logger` to call your log methods:
```ruby
def other_method
@logger.info 'Running other_method'
end
```
Configuring
-----------
Logify is configurable via the top-level `Logify` module.
Set the log level using symbol definitions:
```ruby
Logify.level = :warn
```
Set the output object (io). It must respond to `<<`:
```ruby
Logify.io = StringIO.new
```
The Logify module is thread-aware. Settings are inherited from the main thread. Changes to log levels in child threads are only persisted within the thread.
```ruby
# Main thread configuration
Logify.level = :warn
Thread.new do
# This will persist for the duration of this thread.
# The main thread will continue to use :warn.
Logify.level = :debug
Thread.new do
# The log level is _only_ inherited from the main thread.
Logify.level #=> :warn
end
end
```
You can disable all logging by setting the `io` device to a null object:
```ruby
class NullLogger
def <<(*args); end
end
Logify.io = NullLogger.new
```
Or set the `log_level` to `:none`:
```ruby
Logify.level = :none
```
If you are logging sensitive information (such as passwords and API keys), you can add that information as a filter to Logify. Logify will replace those values with "`[FILTERED]`" in logging output.
```ruby
Logify.filter('P@s$w0r)')
```
Installation
------------
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'logify'
```
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install logify
