📜 Monolog for Kirby CMS
=======================

[](#-monolog-for-kirby-cms)

This plugin adds the [Monolog logging library](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog) to Kirby.

> ⚡ Ready for Kirby 4!

🤟Usage
------

[](#usage)

Use the `monolog()` helper function:

```
// Write to the default log file
monolog()->log('something happend 😱');

// Log to another channel (only changes the filename for now)
// Will log to "your-log-dir/other-channel-$date.log"
monolog('other-channel')->log('something happend 😱');

// Change the log level (any of \Psr\Log\LogLevel)
monolog()->log('something CRITICAL happend 😱', 'critical');

// …
```

If you throw and handle exceptions in your own code, you may log them with `site()->logException()`:

```
try {
    // ..
} catch(\Exception $exception) {
    site()->logException($exception)
}
```

This will log the exception message with `critical` level alongside the stack trace.

The plugin also automatically listens to Kirby `system.exception` hook and logs the exception message as well as the stacktrace to the default log file.

💻 How to install
----------------

[](#-how-to-install)

**via Composer** (recommended)

```
