LogHoc: An ad-hoc logger
========================

[](#loghoc-an-ad-hoc-logger)

This is an ad-hoc logger that implements the PSR `LoggerInterface`and shoves its output into an easily accessible buffer. Use it to collect information on different processes in a system without cluttering the application log.

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

[](#installation)

Install using composer:

```
$ composer require noccylabs/log-hoc

```

Using
-----

[](#using)

The logger implements `Psr\LoggerInterface` so you can use it like any other logger:

```
$log = new LogBuffer();
$log->info("Things are going well");
$log->debug("You should know this tho: {message}", [ 'message'=>"xyzzy" ]);
$log->warning("Uh-oh");
$log->error("Something went wrong");

```

You can also dump variables to it, as long as they can be serialized to json:

```
$log = new LogBuffer();
$log->dump($customerOrder);
$log->dump($result);

```

Marking will drop a marker in the log, representing a split point, start or stop of a process etc.

```
$log = new LogBuffer();
$log->mark("Starting order processing");

```

To see what has been logged, you can either string-cast it, or use the `getBuffer()`or `getBufferArray()` methods to fetch the contents.

```
$log = new LogBuffer();
$orderProcessor->process($order, $log);

$order->setProcessingLog($log->getBuffer());

```

You can customize the format slightly:

```
$log = new LogBuffer();
$log->setFormat("%levelpad% %timestamp% // %message%");

```

You can use `%time%`, `%message%`, `%level%`, `%levelpad%` and `%context%` placeholders in the format specifier:

```
%time%      "19:37:44"
%message%   "This is a log message"
%level%     "info"
%levelpad%  "      info" (right-aligned to 10 chars)
%context%   "{"foo":"bar"}"

```
