DESCRIPTION

       Mojo::Log is a simple logger for Mojo projects.

EVENTS

       Mojo::Log inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the following new ones.

   message
         $log->on(message => sub ($log, $level, @lines) {...});

       Emitted when a new message gets logged.

         $log->on(message => sub ($log, $level, @lines) { say "$level: ", @lines });

ATTRIBUTES

       Mojo::Log implements the following attributes.

   color
         my $bool = $log->color;
         $log     = $log->color($bool);

       Colorize log messages with the levels "warn", "error" and "fatal" using Term::ANSIColor,
       defaults to the value of the "MOJO_LOG_COLOR" environment variables. Note that this
       attribute is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

   format
         my $cb = $log->format;
         $log   = $log->format(sub {...});

       A callback for formatting log messages.

         $log->format(sub ($time, $level, @lines) { "[2018-11-08 14:20:13.77168] [28320] [info] I ♥ Mojolicious\n" });

   handle
         my $handle = $log->handle;
         $log       = $log->handle(IO::Handle->new);

       Log filehandle used by default "message" event, defaults to opening "path" or "STDERR".

   history
         my $history = $log->history;
         $log        = $log->history([[time, 'debug', 'That went wrong']]);

       The last few logged messages.

   level
         my $level = $log->level;
         $log      = $log->level('debug');

       Active log level, defaults to "trace". Available log levels are "trace", "debug", "info",
       "warn", "error" and "fatal", in that order.

   max_history_size
         my $size = $log->max_history_size;
         $log     = $log->max_history_size(5);

       Maximum number of logged messages to store in "history", defaults to 10.

   path
         my $path = $log->path
         $log     = $log->path('/var/log/mojo.log');

       Log file path used by "handle".

   short
         my $bool = $log->short;
         $log     = $log->short($bool);

       Generate short log messages without a timestamp but with journald log level prefix,
       suitable for systemd environments, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_LOG_SHORT"
       environment variables.

METHODS

       Mojo::Log inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new
       ones.

   append
         $log->append("[2018-11-08 14:20:13.77168] [28320] [info] I ♥ Mojolicious\n");

       Append message to "handle".

   capture
         my $messages = $log->capture;
         my $messages = $log->capture('debug');

       Capture log messages for as long as the returned object exists, useful for testing log
       messages.

         # Test your log messages
         my $messages = $log->capture('trace');
         $log->fatal('Something very bad happened');
         $log->trace('Just some debug information');
         like $messages, qr/Something very bad happened/, 'logs contain fatal message';
         like $messages->[-1], qr/Just some debug information/, 'trace message was last';
         undef $messages;

   context
         my $new = $log->context('[extra]', '[information]');

       Construct a new child Mojo::Log object that will include context information with every
       log message.

         # Log with context
         my $log = Mojo::Log->new;
         my $context = $log->context('[17a60115]');
         $context->debug('This is a log message with context information');
         $context->info('And another');

   debug
         $log = $log->debug('You screwed up, but that is ok');
         $log = $log->debug('All', 'cool');
         $log = $log->debug(sub {...});

       Emit "message" event and log "debug" message.

   error
         $log = $log->error('You really screwed up this time');
         $log = $log->error('Wow', 'seriously');
         $log = $log->error(sub {...});

       Emit "message" event and log "error" message.

   fatal
         $log = $log->fatal('Its over...');
         $log = $log->fatal('Bye', 'bye');
         $log = $log->fatal(sub {...});

       Emit "message" event and log "fatal" message.

   info
         $log = $log->info('You are bad, but you prolly know already');
         $log = $log->info('Ok', 'then');
         $log = $log->info(sub {...});

       Emit "message" event and log "info" message.

   is_level
         my $bool = $log->is_level('debug');

       Check active log "level".

         # True
         $log->level('debug')->is_level('debug');
         $log->level('debug')->is_level('info');

         # False
         $log->level('info')->is_level('debug');
         $log->level('fatal')->is_level('warn');

   new
         my $log = Mojo::Log->new;
         my $log = Mojo::Log->new(level => 'warn');
         my $log = Mojo::Log->new({level => 'warn'});

       Construct a new Mojo::Log object and subscribe to "message" event with default logger.

   trace
         $log = $log->trace('Whatever');
         $log = $log->trace('Who', 'cares');
         $log = $log->trace(sub {...});

       Emit "message" event and log "trace" message.

   warn
         $log = $log->warn('Dont do that Dave...');
