Logging

This module provided simplified access to logging capabilities of Kotlin Napier Log.

Installing

The library is available on Maven Central. You can import Kaluga Logging as follows:

repositories {
    // ...
    mavenCentral()
}
// ...
dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation("com.splendo.kaluga:logging:$kalugaVersion")
}

Usage

Check out the full documentation

Logging is done using a Logger. By default Kaluga provides an application wide logger via com.splendo.kaluga.logging.logger. When logging directly, this Logger is used. Create a custom Logger to get more control over what logging occurs.

This library includes a defaultLogger, NappierLogger, and a RestrictedLogger. The latter supports restricting logging to specific LogLevel.

Logging

Here’s a list of functions available for usage. These can be called either directly or on on a Logger. When called directly the platform logger will be used.

• debug(message) \ debug(tag, message) \ debug(exception) \ debug(tag, exception) \ debug(tag, () -> String)
• info(message) \ info(tag, message) \ info(exception) \ info(tag, exception) \ info(tag, () -> String)
• error(message) \ error(tag, message) \ error(exception) \ error(tag, exception) \ error(tag, () -> String)
• warn(message) \ warn(tag, message) \ warn(exception) \ warn(tag, exception) \ warn(tag, () -> String)
• log(level, message) \ log(level, tag, message) \log(level, tag, () -> String)

Message or ()->String?

In case of string template usage consider using () -> String. If logging call will be filtered out, then function providing message will not be called, there for string will not be evaluated. For example:

debug("This is a string with evaluation ${iterator.concatenate().allTheItems()}") - this will evaluate call and create the string before calling debug()`.

debug{ "This is a string with evaluation ${iterator.concatenate().allTheItems()}" } - this will postpone evaluation and string creation until a log call will pass a filter, if it will pass.
