The recommended way to install composer packages is:

```
composer require daoandco/cakephp-logging

```

Loading the Plugin like that

```
// In config/bootstrap.php
Plugin::load('Logging', ['bootstrap' => true, 'routes' => false]);
```

Create table log : execute shema in `config/shema/logs.sql` (you can change the table name)

```
CREATE TABLE `logs` (
    `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `created` DATETIME NOT NULL,
    `level` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    `scope` VARCHAR(50) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    `user_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    `message` TEXT NULL,
    `context` TEXT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
    INDEX `user_id` (`user_id`),
    INDEX `scope` (`scope`),
    INDEX `level` (`level`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
;
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

If you want just replace default config you can change Log's config in your `app` file

```
// In config/app.php
'Log' => [
	'debug' => [
		'className' => 'Logging.Database',
        'levels' => ['notice', 'info', 'debug'],
    ],
    'error' => [
        'className' => 'Logging.Database',
        'levels' => ['warning', 'error', 'critical', 'alert', 'emergency'],
    ],
],
```

For writing to logs see

```
use Cake\Log\Log;

Log::write('debug', 'Something did not work');
```

Or you can use LogComponent in your controllers. The component store by default `request` and `session` in context field.

```
$this->loadComponent('Logging.Log');

$this->Log->write('debug', 'myScope', 'Message');
```
