NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::Logf - Plugin for logging datastructures using sprintf

VERSION

0.03

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::Logf is a plugin which will log complex datastructures and avoid "unitialized" warnings. This plugin use Mojo::Log or whatever "log" in Mojo is set to, to do the actual logging.

SYNOPSIS

use Mojolicious::Lite;
plugin "Logf";

get "/" => sub {
  my $self = shift;

  $self->logf(info => 'request: %s', $self->req->params->to_hash);
};

HELPERS

logf

$self = $c->logf;
$c = $c->logf($level => $format, @args);

Logs a string formatted by the usual printf conventions of the C library function sprintf. $level need to be a valid Mojo::Log level. @args will be converted using "flatten".

Calling this method without any arguments will return $self (an instance of this plugin), allowing you to call "flatten":

@args_as_strings = $c->logf->flatten(@args);

METHODS

flatten

@args_as_strings = $self->flatten(@args);

Used to convert input @args using these rules:

• Scalar

  No rule applied.

• Object with string overloading

  Will be coverted to a string using the string overloading function.

• Data structure or object

  Will be serialized using Data::Dumper with these settings:

  $Data::Dumper::Indent = 0;
  $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth || 2;
  $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
  $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;

  NOTE! These settings might change, but will always do its best to serialize the object into one line. $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth is used to avoid dumping large nested objects. Set this variable if you need deeper logging. Example:

  local $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 1000;
  $c->logf(info => 'Deep structure: %s', $some_object);

• Undefined value

  Will be logged as "__UNDEF__".

register

Will register the "logf" helper in the application
