LogDog

Usage

LogDog is designed to work out of the box, you can use the pre-configured logger anytime, anywhere:

sugar.debug("hi")

sugar.error("somethings went wrong")

Or, make a local copy and do some changes:

var logger = suggar
logger["path"] = "/me"

logger.debug("hi")

You can quickly create a logger with just a label, it will use the predefined log handler:

var logger = Logger.sugar("worker:a")
logger.level = .info

logger.info("hi")

SugarLogHandler

The core component that makes this all work is SugarLogHandler.

The following code snippet shows how to create a SugarLogHandler and use it to bootstrap the logging system.

LoggingSystem.bootstrap { label in

    // ! to create your own `SugarLogHandler`, you need a `sink`, an `appender` and an optional `errorHandler`. 
    let sink = LogSinks.Builtin.short
    let appender = TextLogAppender.stdout
    let errorHandler = { error: Error in
        print("LogError: \(error)")
    }

    var handler = SugarLogHandler(label: label, sink: sink, appender: appender, errorHandler: errorHandler)

    // ! use dynamicMetadata to register values that are evaluted on logging.
    handler.dynamicMetadata["currentUserId"] = {
        AuthService.shared.userId
    }   
    
    return handler
}

let logger = Logger(label: "app")
logger.error("Something went wrong")

Sink

Sinks process log records.

A sink can be a formatter, or a filter, a hook, or a chain of other sinks.

Formatter

You can create a formatter sink with just a closure.

let sink = LogSinks.firstly
    .format {
        "\($0.entry.level.uppercased) \($0.entry.message)\n"
    }
    
// Output:
//
//     DEBUG hello

Or use the built-in neat formatters directly.

let short = LogSinks.BuiltIn.short

// Output:
//
//     E: bad response
//     C: can not connect to db


let medium = LogSinks.BuiltIn.medium  // default sink for sugar loggers

// Output:
//
//     20:40:56.850 E/App main.swift.39: bad response url=/me, status_code=404
//     20:40:56.850 C/App main.swift.41: can not connect to db


let long = LogSinks.BuiltIn.long

// Output:
//
//     ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
//     ║ 2020-11-15 20:46:31.157  App  ERROR     (main.swift:39  run(_:))
//     ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
//     ║ bad response
//     ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
//     ║ url=/me
//     ║ status_code=404
//     ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Filter

You can create a filter sink with just a closure.

let sink = LogSinks.firstly
    .filter {
        $0.entry.source != "LogDog"
    }
    
// logs from `LogDog` will not be output.

DSL

Or use the built-in expressive dsl to create one.

let sink = LogSinks.BuiltIn.short
    .when(.path)
    .contains("private")
    .deny
    
let sink = LogSinks.BuiltIn.short
    .when(.level)
    .greaterThanOrEqualTo(.error)
    .allow

Concat

Sinks are chainable, a sink can concatenate another sink.

let sink = sinkA + sinkB + sinkC // + sinkD + ...

// or
let sink = sinkA
    .concat(sinkB)
    .concat(sinkC)
    // .concat(sinkD) ...

LogDog ships with many commonly used operators.

Prefix & Suffix

let sink = LogSinks.BuiltIn.short
    .prefix("🎈 ")
    
// Output:
//
//     🎈 E: bad response


let sink = LogSinks.BuiltIn.short
    .suffix(" 🎈")
    
// Output:
//
//     E: bad response 🎈

Encode

let sink = LogSinks.firstly
    .encode(JSONEncoder())

Crypto

let sink = LogSinks.firstly
    .encode(JSONEncoder())
    .encrypt(using: key, cipher: .ChaChaPoly)

Compress

let sink = LogSinks.firstly
    .encode(JSONEncoder())
    .compress(.COMPRESSION_LZFSE)

Schedule

Sinks’s processing can be time-consuming, if you don’t want it to slow down your work, you can using Scheduler to make logging asynchronous.

let sink = LogSinks.firstly
    .sink(on: dispatchQueue) // or an operationQueue, or some other custom schedulers, for example, an eventLoop.
    .encode(JSONEncoder()) // time-consuming processing begins.
    .encrypt(using: key, cipher: .ChaChaPoly)
    .compress(.COMPRESSION_LZFSE)

Hook

Because of Scheduler, the logging may be asynchronous.

It means that the sinking may be in a different context,

You can use hook with entry.parameters to capture and pass the context.

private struct CustomSinkContext: LogParameterKey {
    typealias Value = CustomSinkContext

    let date = Date()
    let thread = LogHelper.thread
}

let customSink: AnyLogSink<Void, String> = AnyLogSink {

    // ! beforeSink: in the same context as the log generation.
    
    $0.parameters[CustomSinkContext.self] = .init()
} sink: { record, next in

    // ! sink: may not be in the same context as the log generation.

    record.sink(next: next) { (record) -> String? in
        guard let context = record.entry.parameters[CustomSinkContext.self] else {
            return nil
        }

        let time = LogHelper.format(context.date, using: "HH:mm:ss.SSS")
        let thread = context.thread
        
        // ...
    }
}

Please note, when using encode, parameters with string as key will also be encoded.

LogSinks.firstly
  .hook { 
     $0.parameters["currentUserId"] = AuthService.shared.userId
  }
  .hook(.appName, .appVersion, .date) /* , ..., a lot of built-in hooks */
  .encode(JSONEncoder())
  
/*
{
  "label": "app",
  "level": "debug",
  "metadata": {
    // ...
  }
  // ...
  "currentUserId": "1",
  "appName": "LogDog",
  "appVersion": "0.0.1",
  "date": "2020-11-19T01:12:37.001Z"
}
 */

Appender

Appenders are destinations of log records.

Built-in Appenders

OSLogAppender

Append strings to the underlying OSLog.

let appender = OSLogAppender(osLog)

TextLogAppender

Append strings to the underlying TextOutputStream.

let appender = TextLogAppender(stream)

let stdout = TextLogAppender.stdout
let stderr = TextLogAppender.stderr

MultiplexLogAppender

Append outputs to the underlying appenders.

// when `concurrent` is `true`, a dispatch group is used to make the appending of all appenders parallel. 
let appender = MultiplexLogAppender(concurrent: true, a, b, c, d/*, ...*/)

FileLogAppender

• async
• auto rotate
