SimpleLogger is intended for small projects or testing purposes if you don't need a full-featured logging solution like Monolog. If you just need to output a few log messages in a small PHP project but want to stick to the PSR-3 standard this package is for you. When your project grows you can simply replace it by a more advanced logging solution like Monolog. Loggers ------- [](#loggers) - \\Midweste\\SimpleLogger\\EchoLogger: Just echo the log message - \\Midweste\\SimpleLogger\\FileLogger: Log to a file - \\Midweste\\SimpleLogger\\ArrayLogger: Keep log messages in an array for later use (e.g. display it to the user) - \\Midweste\\SimpleLogger\\SessionLogger: Keep log messages in a session for later use (e.g. display it to the user on another page) - \\Midweste\\SimpleLogger\\ConsoleLogger: Log to the Symfony2 console => *DEPRECATED: use `Symfony\Component\Console\Logger\ConsoleLogger` instead* Installation ------------ [](#installation) - `composer require midweste/simplelogger` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` $logger = new \Midweste\SimpleLogger\FileLogger('/path/to/logfile'); $logger->info('This is the first log message'); ``` **NEW**: it's now possible to set a minimum log level in the constructor of FileLogger, EchoLogger and ArrayLogger: ``` $logger = new \Midweste\SimpleLogger\FileLogger('/path/to/logfile', \Psr\Log\LogLevel::ERROR); $logger->info('This is the first log message'); // this message will be discarded $logger->error('This is an error message'); // this message will be logged ``` In one of my projects there was a "fetcher" class that fetched some information from a web service. It needed to log whether this fetch was successfull or not and how many data it fetched. It could be invoked either from the command line, by a background task, or by a user in the admin web page of the application. This was the use case for three logger classes: - the fetcher class itself just logs to any PSR-3 compliant logger - if called from a background task (cronjob), it is given a FileLogger - if called from the command line, it is given a ConsoleLogger - if called from the web interface, it is given an ArrayLogger. The output of this logger is then displayed to the user on the web page. ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 59% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 50% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
