WACK Log
========

[](#wack-log)

**WACK Log** is a simple WordPress plugin to output logs to the stdout.

It is created as a thin Monolog wrapper with the intention of being used with the WACK Stack, but it can also be used with other WordPress installations, especially convenient for those that are containerized.

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

[](#installation)

- Requires PHP 8.2 or later
- Requires WordPress 6.0 or later
- Requires Composer

### Using Composer

[](#using-composer)

```
composer require kodansha/wack-log
```

Note

This plugin is not available on the WordPress.org plugin repository. For the moment, the only way to install it is to use Composer.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

WACK Log exposes a global function `logger()` that can be used as below:

```
logger()->debug('This is debug message.');
logger()->info('This is information message.');
logger()->warning('This is warning message.');
logger()->error('This is error message.');
```

In addition, it also provides a shorthand usage that is convenient for debugging:

```
logger('This is debug message.');
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

There are two methods for customizing the behavior of WACK Log:

- Setting through the `WACK_LOG_SETTINGS` constant
- Setting via the settings screen in the WordPress admin menu

### Setting via WACK\_LOG\_SETTINGS

[](#setting-via-wack_log_settings)

Define `WACK_LOG_SETTINGS` in functions.php or similar:

```
define('WACK_LOG_SETTINGS', [
    'use_json_format' => true,
]);
```

### Setting via WordPress admin menu

[](#setting-via-wordpress-admin-menu)

Go to the settings screen of WACK Log in the WordPress admin menu and follow the instructions on the screen.

Note

If settings exist both in `WACK_LOG_SETTINGS` and the admin menu settings at the same time, the settings defined in the constant are prioritized as a general rule.
