Allows logging of JSON messages, to easily be integrated in a static class.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via composer into your project:

```
composer require anekdotes/logger

```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

To use the logger, call its namespace and build a context array.

```
    use Anekdotes\Logger\Log;
    Log::info(["message" => "toaster","user_identification" => "4N3K"]);
```

Logging Drivers
---------------

[](#logging-drivers)

The system logs to the PHP console by default. Setting a different driver will change its behavior

### File Driver

[](#file-driver)

To log to files, a FileDriver must be set.

```
    use Anekdotes\Logger\Log;
    use Anekdotes\Logger\Drivers\FileDriver;
    //Set Driver and use it
    Log::setDriver(new FileDriver('logname','tmp/logs/toaster.log'));
    Log::info(["message" => "toaster","user_identification" => "4N3K"]);
```

### Console Driver

[](#console-driver)

Logs a file to the PHP Console. Used by default, but this can be used if another driver was previously set

```
    use Anekdotes\Logger\Log;
    use Anekdotes\Logger\Drivers\FileDriver;
    //Set Driver and use it
    Log::setDriver(new ConsoleDriver());
    Log::info(["message" => "toaster","user_identification" => "4N3K"]);
```

Handlers
--------

[](#handlers)

You can use handlers to have the logger run additional tasks on error and critical logs. Handlers are Anonymous functions that are set by using their accessors.

```
    $data = ["data" => "data"];
    $functionThatLogsIntoDatabase = function () use ($data) {
      //Log $data in the database
    };
    Log::setErrorHandler($functionThatLogsIntoDatabase);
    Log::error($data);
```

The handlers can also use the data that will be provided to the logfile and send it to the Closure.

```
    $data = ["data" => "data"];
    $functionThatLogsIntoDatabase = function ($LogData) {
      //Log $LogData in the DB. Note the LogData is the exact output that will be saved to a file. It is in JSON Format.
    };
    Log::setCriticalHandler($functionThatLogsIntoDatabase);
    Log::critical($data);
```

Logging Levels
--------------

[](#logging-levels)

You can use the following levels of logging as calls:

```
    Log::info([]);
    Log::success([]);
    Log::warn([]);
    Log::error([]);
    Log::critical([]);
```
