**See new lib at [phoole/logger](https://github.com/phoole/logger)**

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Phossa-logger is a PSR-3 compliant logging library. It is a rewrite of Monolog with lots of changes.

More information about [PSR-3](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/)

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

[](#installation)

Install via the `composer` utility.

```
composer require "phossa/phossa-logger=1.*"

```

or add the following lines to your `composer.json`

```
{
    "require": {
       "phossa/phossa-logger": "^1.0.5"
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Simple usage

    ```
    // logger with id 'mylogger'
    $logger = new \Phossa\Logger\Logger('mylogger');

    // a notice
    $logger->notice('a notice from code');

    // a warning
    $logger->warning('a warning from code');
    ```

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Decorator: used to modify the `$logEntry` in some way.

    - Implements the `__invoke()` method, makes decorator a callable

        ```
        class InterpolateDecorator extends DecoratorAbstract
        {
            public function __invoke(LogEntryInterface $log)
            {
                // ...
            }
        }
        ```
    - User-defined functions can also be used as decorator

        ```
        $logger->setDecorators([
            new Decorator/InterpolateDecorator(),
            function ($logEntry) {
                // ...
            }
        ]);
        ```
    - Decorator implements `DecoratorInterface` can be disabled at runtime

        ```
        $inter = new Decorator/InterpolateDecorator();
        $logger->addDecorator($inter);
        // ...

        // disble the InterpolateDecorator at runtime
        $inter->stopDecorator();
        ```
- Handler: distribute log entry to different devices. Multiple handlers can be set at the same time.

    ```
    // create a logger with channel 'MyLogger'
    $logger  = new Logger('MyLogger');

    // syslog handler with ident set to 'MyLogger'
    $syslog  = new Handler\SyslogerHandler($logger->getChannel());

    // console handler with output to stderr
    $console = new Handler\TerminalHandler();

    // add handlers
    $logger->addHandler($syslog);
    $logger->addHandler($console);

    // ...
     // at some point, stop console logging
    $console->stopHandler();
    ```
- Formatter: turn log entry object into string. A formatter is bound to a specific handler.

    ```
    // console handler with output to stderr
    $console = new Handler\TerminalHandler();

    // set AnsiFormatter
    $console->setFormatter(new Formatter\AnsiFormatter());
    ```
- Handler/Decorator/Formatter all enforce '\_\_invoke()' in the their interface, which makes them callable.
- User may use all sorts of callable as handler, decorator or formatter.

    ```
    // handler
    $syslog = new SyslogHandler();

    // set a anonymous function as a formatter
    $syslog->setFormatter(
        function ($log) {
            // ...
            return $string;
        }
    );

    // adding different handlers
    $logger->setHandlers([
        $syslog,
        function ($log) {
            // convert $log to string and send to a log device
            // ...
        }
    ]);
    ```
- `LogEntryInterface` for log entry (or call it message). It is now possible to extend `LogEntry` and use a factory closure to create log entry.

    ```
    $logger = new Logger('MyLogger', [], [],
        function ($level, $message, $context) {
            return new MyLogEntry($level, $message, $context);
        }
    );
    ```
- Support PHP 5.4+, PHP 7.0+, HHVM
- PHP7 ready for return type declarations and argument type declarations.
- PSR-1, PSR-2, PSR-3, PSR-4 compliant.
