---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer require alen-dev/xpath-log
```

🛠 Setup
-------

[](#-setup)

Step 1: Publish the config

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=xpath-log-config
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    'driver_map' => [
        'cli' => \AlenDev\XpathLog\Drivers\CliDriver::class,
        'json' => \AlenDev\XpathLog\Drivers\JsonFileDriver::class,
        'log'  => \AlenDev\XpathLog\Drivers\LogFileDriver::class,
    ],
    'external_driver_map' => [],
    'default_drivers' => explode(',', env('XPATH_LOG_DEFAULT_DRIVERS', 'cli,log')),
    'file_name' => env('XPATH_LOG_FILENAME', 'xpath'),
];
```

Step 2: Optional ENV config

```
XPATH_LOG_DEFAULT_DRIVERS="cli,log"
XPATH_LOG_FILENAME=xpathlog
```

---

🧪 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

Basic Logging

```
$xPathLog = new XpathLog();
$xPathLog
    ->use('cli')
    ->log('warning', 'message', ['test' => '34234']);
```

Transaction Logging

```
$xPathLog
    ->use('json')
    ->startTransaction('TX-789', ['customerId' => 123]);
$xPathLog
    ->use('json')
    ->endTransaction('TX-789', ['status' => 'success']);
```

Or log custom transaction messages:

```
$xPathLog
    ->use('json')
    ->transaction('abc-123', 'Applied discount', ['code' => 'SUMMER']);
```

---

🖥 Artisan Log Viewer
--------------------

[](#-artisan-log-viewer)

Optional: you can add some sample data for Artisan Log Viewer. The log viewer is designed to view JSON log created by this package.

```
php artisan xpathlog:create-sample
```

View the most recent XpathLog entries from your JSON log file (other file formats coming soon)

```
php artisan xpathlog:view
```

Filter logs

```
php artisan xpathlog:view --level=error
php artisan xpathlog:view --search=payment
php artisan xpathlog:view --date=2025-08-01
php artisan xpathlog:view --from="2025-08-01" --to="2025-08-02"
php artisan xpathlog:view --search=payment --from="yesterday"
```

🧩 Custom Drivers
----------------

[](#-custom-drivers)

You can register custom drivers externally via config:

```
// config/xpath-log.php
'driver_map' => [
    'slack' => App\Logging\Drivers\SlackDriver::class,
],
```

Each driver must implement:

```
interface DriverInterface {
    public function handle(LogEntry $entry): void;
}
```

🧩 Request Logger
----------------

[](#-request-logger)

This feature is disabled by default. To enable just add the following variable to your .env file:

```
XPATH_LOG_ENABLE_REQUEST_LOGGER=true
```

If enabled, by default, this will log every request on your web middleware but you can change this by adding the following line to your .env file:

```
XPATH_LOG_MIDDLEWARE_GROUP=api
```

🧪 Testing
---------

[](#-testing)

```
composer test
```
