NAME

       Log::Any::Adapter::Util - Common utility functions for Log::Any

VERSION

       version 1.705

DESCRIPTION

       This module has utility functions to help develop Log::Any::Adapter subclasses or
       Log::Any::Proxy formatters/filters.  It also has some functions used in internal testing.

SUBROUTINES

   logging_methods
       Returns a list of all logging method. E.g. "trace", "info", etc.

   detection_methods
       Returns a list of detection methods.  E.g. "is_trace", "is_info", etc.

   logging_and_detection_methods
       Returns a list of logging and detection methods (but not aliases).

   log_level_aliases
       Returns key/value pairs mapping aliases to "official" names.  E.g. "err" maps to "error".

   logging_aliases
       Returns a list of logging alias names.  These are the keys from "log_level_aliases".

   detection_aliases
       Returns a list of detection aliases.  E.g. "is_err", "is_fatal", etc.

   numeric_level
       Given a level name (or alias), returns the numeric value described above under log level
       constants.  E.g. "err" would return 3.

   dump_one_line
       Given a reference, returns a one-line Data::Dumper dump with keys sorted.

   make_method
       Given a method name, a code reference and a package name, installs the code reference as a
       method in the package.

   require_dynamic (DEPRECATED)
       Given a class name, attempts to load it via require unless the class already has a
       constructor available.  Throws an error on failure. Used internally and may become private
       in the future.

   read_file (DEPRECATED)
       Slurp a file.  Does *not* apply any layers.  Used for testing and may become private in
       the future.

   cmp_deeply (DEPRECATED)
       Compares dump_one_line results for two references.  Also takes a test label as a third
       argument.  Used for testing and may become private in the future.

USAGE

       Nothing is exported by default.

   Log level constants
       If the ":levels" tag is included in the import list, the following numeric constants will
       be imported:

           EMERGENCY => 0
           ALERT     => 1
           CRITICAL  => 2
           ERROR     => 3
           WARNING   => 4
           NOTICE    => 5
           INFO      => 6
           DEBUG     => 7
           TRACE     => 8
