DESCRIPTION

Sometimes when I am monitoring 'tail -f error_log' or './script/my_server.pl' during develop phase, I could not find log message because of a lot of logs. This plugin may help to find it out. This plugin is using Term::ANSIColor.

Of course when you open log file with vi or some editor, the color wont change and also you will see additional log such as 'oraora'.

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY

for new version I remove $c->log->color() but still you can use if you turn on on_backward_compatibility setting.

This plugin injects a color() method into the Catalyst::Log namespace.

            

              
              
use Catalyst qw/-Debug ConfigLoader Log::Colorful/;
__PACKAGE__->config(
   name => 'MyApp' ,
   'Plugin::Log::Colorful' => {
       on_backward_compatibility => 1,
       text        => 'blue',
       background  => 'green',
   }
);
            
          

In your controller.

            

              
              
$c->log->color('hello');
$c->log->color('hello blue' , 'blue');
$c->log->color('hello red on white' , 'red' , 'white');
$c->log->color( $hash_ref );
$c->log->color( $array_ref );
