NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::Logf - Plugin for logging datastructures using sprintf

VERSION

0.10

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::Logf is a plugin which will log complex datastructures and avoid "unitialized" warnings. This plugin use Mojo::Log or whatever "log" in Mojo is set to, to do the actual logging.

SYNOPSIS

use Mojolicious::Lite;
plugin logf => {rfc3339 => 1};

get "/" => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  $c->logf(info => 'request: %s', $self->req->params->to_hash);
  $c->render(text => "cool!");
};

Setting rfc3339 to "1" will make the log look like this:

[2016-02-19T13:05:37Z] [info] Some log message

COPY/PASTE CODE

If you think it's a waste to depend on this module, you can copy paste the code below to get the same functionality as the "logf" helper:

helper logf => sub {
  my ($c, $level, $format) = (shift, shift, shift);
  my $log = $c->app->log;
  return $c unless $log->is_level($level);
  my @args = map { ref $_ eq 'CODE' ? $_->() : $_ } @_;
  local $Data::Dumper::Indent   = 0;
  local $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth || 2;
  local $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
  local $Data::Dumper::Terse    = 1;
  for (@args) {
    $_
      = !defined($_) ?  "__UNDEF__" 
      : overload::Method($_, q("")) ? "$_"
      : ref($_) ? Data::Dumper::Dumper($_)
      :           $_;
  }
  $log->$level(sprintf $format, @args);
  return $c;
};

Note: The code above is generated and tested from the original source code, but it will more difficult to get updates and bug fixes.

HELPERS

logf

$self = $c->logf;
$c = $c->logf($level => $format, @args);

Logs a string formatted by the usual printf conventions of the C library function sprintf. $level need to be a valid Mojo::Log level. @args will be converted using "flatten".

Calling this method without any arguments will return $self (an instance of this plugin), allowing you to call "flatten":

@args_as_strings = $c->logf->flatten(@args);

METHODS

flatten

@args_as_strings = $self->flatten(@args);

Used to convert input @args using these rules:

  • Scalar

    No rule applied.

  • Code ref

    A code ref will be called, and the list of return values will be flattened. The code below will not calculate the request params, unless the log level is "debug":

    $c->logf(debug => 'request: %s', sub {$c->req->params->to_hash});

  • Object with string overloading

    Will be coverted to a string using the string overloading function.

  • Data structure or object

    Will be serialized using Data::Dumper with these settings:

    $Data::Dumper::Indent = 0;
$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth || 2;
$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;

    NOTE! These settings might change, but will always do its best to serialize the object into one line. $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth is used to avoid dumping large nested objects. Set this variable if you need deeper logging. Example:

    local $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 1000;
$c->logf(info => 'Deep structure: %s', $some_object);

  • Undefined value

    Will be logged as "__UNDEF__". This value can be changed by setting the global environment variable MOJO_LOGF_UNDEF before loading this plugin.

register

Will register the "logf" helper in the application
