=======

[](#central)

Central log for console scripts

```
composer require fivesqrd/central:1.2.*

```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Using AWS SDK

```
$config = [
    'namespace' => 'My-App-Name',
    'adapter'   => 'Aws',
    'options'   => [ // Adapter specific options
        'table'     => null,
        'client'    => new Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient($aws),
        'marshaler' => new Aws\DynamoDb\Marshaler()
    ],
];

```

Using the Bego library

```
$db = new Bego\Database(
    new Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient($config), new Aws\DynamoDb\Marshaler()
);

$config = [
    'namespace' => 'My-App-Name',
    'adapter'   => 'Bego',
    'options'   => [ // Adapter specific options
        'client'    => $db->table(new App\MyTables\Logs()),
    ],
];

```

With Laravel 5 Setup is automatically done in Laravel

Basic Example
-------------

[](#basic-example)

```
use Fivesqrd\Central;

$job = Central\Factory::job($config);

$job->instance('MyScriptName')->start(function($log) {

     //do something here

     $log->debug('Something was done');

     return 'Everything was done ok';
});

/* Store log for 30 days */
$job->save(strtotime('+ 30 days'));

/* Get the job status */
echo $job->status();

```

Executing inside a class
------------------------

[](#executing-inside-a-class)

```
use Fivesqrd\Central;

$job = Central\Factory::job($config)
    ->instance(self::class)
    ->start(array($this, '_execute'))
    ->save(strtotime('+ 30 days'));

```

Realtime debug output
---------------------

[](#realtime-debug-output)

```
/* Output debug info to stdout as well */
print_r($job->log()->toArray());

/* Output the same log entry saved to storage */
print_r($job->record());

```

Atomic locking
--------------

[](#atomic-locking)

```
use Fivesqrd\Central;

$job = Central\Factory::job($config)
    ->instance(self::class)
    ->lock()
    ->start(self::class, array($this, '_execute'))
    ->save(strtotime('+ 30 days'));

```

Laravel 5
---------

[](#laravel-5)

.env requirements

```
CENTRAL_TABLE="My-Table"
CENTRAL_ADAPTER="Aws"
CENTRAL_NAMESPACE="My-App"

AWS_KEY="my-key"
AWS_SECRET="my-secret"
AWS_REGION="eu-west-1"
AWS_ENDPOINT=

```

Using it in a command class:

```
    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $job = resolve('central')
            ->instance(self::class)
            ->start(array($this, '_execute'))
            ->save(strtotime('+ 30 days'));

        /* logic here */
        $this->info("Command completed with: {$job->status()}");;
    }

    protected function _execute($log)
    {
        $log->debug('Job started at ' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
        return 'It worked';
    }

```
