Log::Any::Adapter::Screen(3pm)

NAME
Log::Any::Adapter::Screen - (ADOPTME) Send logs to screen, with colors and some other features

VERSION
This document describes version 0.141 of Log::Any::Adapter::Screen (from Perl distribution Log-Any-Adapter-Screen), released on 2023-11-21.

SYNOPSIS
 use Log::Any::Adapter;
 Log::Any::Adapter->set('Screen',
     # min_level => 'debug', # default is 'warning'
     # colors    => { trace => 'bold yellow on_gray', ... }, # customize colors
     # use_color => 1, # force color even when not interactive
     # stderr    => 0, # print to STDOUT instead of the default STDERR
     # formatter => sub { "LOG: $_[1]" }, # default none
 );

DESCRIPTION
This Log::Any adapter prints log messages to screen (STDERR/STDOUT). The messages are colored according to level (unless coloring is turned off). It has a few other features: allow passing formatter, allow setting level from some environment variables, add prefix/timestamps.

Parameters:

•   min_level => STRING

•   log_level => STRING

    Set logging level. Default is warning. If LOG_LEVEL environment variable is set, it will be used instead. If TRACE environment variable is set to true, level will be set to 'trace'. If DEBUG environment variable is set to true, level will be set to 'debug'. If VERBOSE environment variable is set to true, level will be set to 'info'.If QUIET environment variable is set to true, level will be set to 'error'.

    Log::Any adapters use parameter "log_level" instead of "min_level". If both are present "min_level" takes precedence.

•   use_color => BOOL

    Whether to use color or not. Default is true only when running interactively (-t STDOUT returns true).

•   colors => HASH

    Customize colors. Hash keys are the logging methods, hash values are colors supported by Term::ANSIColor.

    The default colors are:

     method/level                 color
     ------------                 -----
     trace                        yellow
     debug                        (none, terminal default)
     info, notice                 green
     warning                      bold blue
     error                        magenta
     critical, alert, emergency   red

•   stderr => BOOL

    Whether to print to STDERR, default is true. If set to 0, will print to STDOUT instead.

•   formatter => CODEREF

    Allow formatting message. If defined, message will be passed before being colorized. Coderef will be passed:

     ($self, $message)

    and is expected to return the formatted message.

    The default formatter can optionally prefix the message with extra stuffs, depending on the content of LOG_PREFIX environment variable, such as: elapsed time (e.g. "[0.023ms]") if LOG_PREFIX is "elapsed".

    NOTE: Log::Any 1.00+ now has a proxy object which allows formatting/customization of message before it is sent to adapter(s), so formatting does not have to be done on a per-adapter basis. As an alternative to this attribute, you can also consider using the proxy object or the (upcoming?) global proxy object.

•   default_level => STR (default: warning)

    If no level-setting environment variables are defined, will default to this level.

ENVIRONMENT

  NO_COLOR
If defined, will disable color. Consulted before "COLOR".

  COLOR
Can be set to 0 to explicitly disable colors. The default is to check for "<-t STDOUT">.

  LOG_LEVEL => str

  QUIET => bool

  VERBOSE => bool

  DEBUG => bool

  TRACE => bool
These environment variables can set the default for "min_level". See documentation about "min_level" for more details.

  LOG_PREFIX => str
The default formatter groks these variables. See documentation about "formatter" about more details.

Originally inspired by Log::Log4perl::Appender::ScreenColoredLevel. The old name for this adapter is Log::Any::Adapter::ScreenColoredLevel but at some point I figure using a shorter name is better for my fingers.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
