🪵 maxidev/tail-logger
=====================

[](#-maxidevtail-logger)

**Dynamic, contextual, and tailable logging package for Laravel.**

Easily log messages into daily log files organized by custom folders, with full support for structured context data and a built-in Artisan command for colored tailing—even on Windows.

---

🚀 Features
----------

[](#-features)

✅ Dynamic directory-based log storage
✅ Daily rotating log files
✅ Structured array/object context logging
✅ Clean output format
✅ Artisan command `log:tail` for real-time log viewing
✅ Colorized output by log level (info, warning, error, success)
✅ Cross-platform tailing (Windows & Unix)

---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer require maxidev/tail-logger
```

If installing from local or VCS:

```
composer config repositories.max-logger path ../path/to/package
composer require maxidev/tail-logger:@dev
```

Laravel will auto-discover the service provider.

---

🧰 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### 📄 Log to a custom path with optional level and context

[](#-log-to-a-custom-path-with-optional-level-and-context)

```
use Maxidev\Logger\TailLogger;

// Basic log
TailLogger::saveLog('User login successful', 'auth/login');

// With level
TailLogger::saveLog('Invalid credentials', 'auth/login', 'warning');

// With context (array or object)
TailLogger::saveLog('Payment processed', 'billing/invoices', 'success', [
    'user_id' => 123,
    'amount' => 49.99,
    'currency' => 'USD'
]);
```

📁 Log files are saved like:

```
storage/logs/auth/login/2025-05-17.log
storage/logs/billing/invoices/2025-05-17.log

```

---

🔍 Real-time log tailing (with colors!)
--------------------------------------

[](#-real-time-log-tailing-with-colors)

```
php artisan log:tail auth/login
php artisan log:tail billing/invoices --date=2025-05-15
php artisan log:tail api/events --live
```

✅ Fully compatible with Windows and Linux
🎨 Colorized output: green = success, yellow = warning, red = error

---

⚙️ Customization
----------------

[](#️-customization)

You can fully control:

- Path/folder structure
- Log level (`info`, `warning`, `error`, `success`)
- Context arrays
- Date formatting in logs

Internally based on [Monolog v3](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog) and Laravel's logging conventions.
