NAME

Log::Contextual::WarnLogger - Simple logger for libraries using Log::Contextual

SYNOPSIS

package My::Package;
use Log::Contextual::WarnLogger;
use Log::Contextual qw( :log ),
  -default_logger => Log::Contextual::WarnLogger->new({
     env_prefix => 'MY_PACKAGE'
  });

# 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 ] $conf

my $l = Log::Contextual::WarnLogger->new({
  env_prefix
});

Creates a new logger object where env_prefix defines what the prefix is for the environment variables that will be checked for the six log levels. For example, if env_prefix is set to FREWS_PACKAGE the following environment variables will be used:

FREWS_PACKAGE_TRACE
FREWS_PACKAGE_DEBUG
FREWS_PACKAGE_INFO
FREWS_PACKAGE_WARN
FREWS_PACKAGE_ERROR
FREWS_PACKAGE_FATAL

$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!' );

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;
