Write log messages to the command line while respecting output verbosity
========================================================================

[](#write-log-messages-to-the-command-line-while-respecting-output-verbosity)

Artisan commands accepts 'verbosity' level flags which indicate the level of desired output: `-v`, `-vv` and `-vvv`. These come from the underlying Symfony/Console package and are often overlooked in the Laravel ecosystem. Respecting verbosity can be rather cumbersome and adds noise to your code:

```
if ($this->getOutput()->isDebug()) {
    $this->info('To an old pond');
}

if ($this->getOutput()->isVeryVerbose()) {
    $this->info('A frog leaps in');
}

if ($this->getOutput()->isVerbose()) {
    $this->info('And the sound of the water');
}

$this->info('- Matsu Basho');
```

The goal of this package is to streamline command output while still respecting verbosity flags. We do that by creating a `console` log channel and sending log messages to the command line rather than using the native Artisan output helpers such as `info()` and `error()`.

With this package installed and configured, the above example would instead look like this:

```
Log::debug('To an old pond');
Log::info('A frog leaps in');
Log::notice('And the sound of the water');
Log::warning('- Matsu Basho');
```

When you call the command those messages would appear in the console output based on the verbosity flag provided:

LevelVerbosityErrorQuietWarningNormalNoticeVerboseInfoVery VerboseDebugDebugWhen combined with a log stack the output will also be logged to those other channels as well, which is an added bonus.

This package is an implementation of the Symfony Monolog Bridge [Console Handler](https://symfony.com/doc/current/logging/monolog_console.html) for Laravel.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require stagerightlabs/command-line-logger
```

Make sure you do not have an existing log channel called "console" otherwise there may be conflicts.

After installing the package you will need to add the "console" destination channel to your logging config. This can be done in a `.env` file:

```
LOG_CHANNEL=stack
LOG_STACK=single,console

```

You could also make this change in the `config/logging.php` file:

```
'stack' => [
    'driver' => 'stack',
    'channels' => ['single', 'console'],
    'ignore_exceptions' => false,
],
```

You don't need to use the "console" channel with a stack but it can be helpful.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Instead of writing console output directly from the Artisan command, you should now write to the logs instead:

```
// Instead of this
$this->info('Matsu Basho');

// Do this
Log::info('Matsu Basho');
```

These messages will appear in the console depending on the log level and the verbosity settings given to the command. See the above table for more details.
