DebugView
=========

[](#debugview)

DebugView is a custom Monolog handler that sends log messages to the Windows DebugView utility using the `OutputDebugStringA` function from the Windows API.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Integrates with [Monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog) for logging.
- Sends log messages directly to DebugView for real-time debugging on Windows systems.
- Lightweight and easy to use.

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

[](#installation)

To install the package, use Composer:

```
composer require ascriver/debugview
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Here is an example of how to use the `DebugViewHandler` in your project:

```
use Monolog\Logger;
use Ascriver\DebugViewHandler;

// Create a logger instance
$logger = new Logger('debug');

// Add the DebugViewHandler
$logger->pushHandler(new DebugViewHandler());

// Log a message
$logger->debug('This is a debug message');
```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1 or higher
- Windows operating system (required for OutputDebugStringA)
- FFI must be enabled in your PHP configuration (php.ini):

> ⚠️ If FFI is disabled or restricted (e.g., in some shared hosting environments), this handler will not function correctly.

Development
-----------

### Running Tests

[](#running-tests)

```
vendor/bin/phpunit
```

### Project Structure

[](#project-structure)

- `src/`: Contains the main source code, including the `DebugViewHandler` class.
- `tests/`: Contains unit tests for the project.
- `composer.json`: Defines the project dependencies and autoloading configuration.

### Testing Notes

[](#testing-notes)

The `DebugViewHandlerTest` includes a test for the `write` method, which uses PHP's `FFI` to mock the `OutputDebugStringA` function. Reflection is used to inject the mock into the handler.
