Logger
Simple logging for simples needs.
Getting Started
Declare your dependency in your Package.swift file.
.package(name: "Logger", url: "https://github.com/nativedevbr/swift-log.git", from: "0.1.0"),
and add it to your application target.
.target(name: "BestExampleApp", dependencies: ["Logger"]),
Now, let’s learn how to use it.
// Import the logger package.
import Logger
// Create a logger instance, the system is a string that identifies this logging instance.
// It's recommended to use an inverse domain like your bundle identifier.
// This logging implementation is based on destinations, each destination represent a place where
// the log messagens will be sent.
let logger = Logger(system: "br.dev.native.best-example-app", destinations: [.console(), .file(url: URL(...)])
// Then, just call the available methods on the logger instance, there is one method for each
// logging level. [verbose, debug, info, warning and error].
logger.info("Hello World!")
// There's support for adding additional context to a log message.
logger.error("something is not working", context: ["user_id": "deadbeef"])
If you prefer, there’s possibility for defining a shared logger instance through Logger.main.
Logger.main = Logger(system: "br.dev.native.best-example-app", destinations: [.console(), .file(url: URL(...)])
If Logger.main is used before being initialized the app will crash.
Destinations
This package provides two destinations out of the box, the console and file.
The console destination sends the log messages to the console and it’s debug only, so no logs are sent on release builds.
The file destination writes logs messages to a local file that the user must provide.
Boths destinations accepts a Formatter parameter to customize the formatting logic of the message, there’s a default implementation.
Custom destinations
This destination approach makes very easy to add new ones, like this example of a destination that sends the log messages to Crashlytics.
import FirebaseCrashlytics
extension Logger.Destination {
static let crashlytics = Logger.Destination { msg in
// You can use the default formatter for generating a string,
// or implement your own formatting logic.
let string = Logger.Formatter.default.format(msg)
Crashlytics.crashlytics().log(string)
}
}
// Then to use the new destination, simply init a logger passing the `crashlytics` destination.
Logger.main = Logger(system: "br.dev.native.best-example-app", destinations: [.console(), .crashlytics])
