NAME

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

VERSION

version 0.009001

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.
