PSRLogger.jl

A minimal and opinionated way to deal with compositional loggers built with LoggingExtras.jl.

The package also has helps users to deal with logs in multiple languages.

Basic usage

PSRLogger will log messages to different locations.

import PSRLogger

log_file = "my_application.log"
psr_logger = PSRLogger.create_psr_logger(log_file)

# Only goes to file
PSRLogger.debug("debug message")

# Goes to file and console
PSRLogger.info("info message")
PSRLogger.warn("warn message")
PSRLogger.non_fatal_error("error message")

# Goes to console and file and then runs exit(1) if the session is not iterative.
PSRLogger.fatal_error("Application cannot continue")

Log in differnt languages

PSRLogger stores some constants that help users deal with logs in different languages.

log_path = "langs.log"
langs_dict = Dict(
    1 => Dict(
        "en" => "Hello!",
        "pt" => "Olá!",
    ),
    2 => Dict(
        "en" => "The file @@@ does not exist.",
        "pt" => "O arquivo @@@ não existe.",
    )
)
PSRLogger.set_dict(langs_dict)
PSRLogger.set_language("pt")
psr_logger = PSRLogger.create_psr_logger(log_path)
# It will log the portuguese version "Olá!"
PSRLogger.info(1)
# It will display the message "O arquivo file.txt não existe"
PSRLogger.info(2, "file.txt")

One suggestion to store the codes ans messages for multiple languages is to store it on a TOML file. The function PSRLogger.set_dict accepts the TOML path as input.

Dictionary TOML:

[1]
"en" = "Hello!"
"pt" = "Olá!"

[2]
"en" = "The file @@@ does not exist."
"pt" = "O arquivo @@@ não existe."

Set dictionary from TOML:

log_path = "langs.log"
toml_dict_path = "example.toml"
PSRLogger.set_dict(toml_dict_path)
PSRLogger.set_language("pt")
psr_logger = PSRLogger.create_psr_logger(log_path)
# It will log the portuguese version "Olá!"
PSRLogger.info(1)
# It will display the message "O arquivo file.txt não existe"
PSRLogger.info(2, "file.txt")

Create logger

The arguments that can be passed using PSRLogger.create_psr_logger:

• log_file_path: Log file path. This input must be passed
• min_level_console: Minimum level shown in console. Default: Logging.Info
• min_level_file: Minimum level shown in file. Default: Logging.Debug
• append_log: Boolean input to append logs in existing log file (if true) or overwrite/create log file (if false). Default is false
• brackets_dict: select the brackets for each LogLevel. As default,

brackets_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => ["[", "]"],
    "Debug" => ["[", "]"],
    "Info" => ["[", "]"],
    "Warn" => ["[", "]"],
    "Error" => ["[", "]"],
    "Fatal Error" => ["[", "]"],
)

• level_dict: defined in order to change the tags. As default,

level_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => "Debug Level",
    "Debug" => "Debug",
    "Info" => "Info",
    "Warn" => "Warn",
    "Error" => "Error",
    "Fatal Error" => "Fatal Error"
)

• color_dict: one can customize the tag colors displayed in terminal using this dictionary. As default,

color_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => :cyan,
    "Debug" => :cyan,
    "Info" => :cyan,
    "Warn" => :yellow,
    "Error" => :red,
    "Fatal Error" => :red
)

• background_reverse_dict: used to customize the background of a tag in terminal. As default,

background_reverse_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => false,
    "Debug" => false,
    "Info" => false,
    "Warn" => false,
    "Error" => false,
    "Fatal Error" => true
)

The next example shows how to print the tags in lowercase letters, with julia default string colors and background.

level_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => "debug level",
    "Debug" => "debug",
    "Info" => "info",
    "Warn" => "warn",
    "Error" => "error",
    "Fatal Error" => "fatal error"
)
color_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => :normal,
    "Debug" => :normal,
    "Info" => :normal,
    "Warn" => :normal,
    "Error" => :normal,
    "Fatal Error" => :normal
)
background_reverse_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => false,
    "Debug" => false,
    "Info" => false,
    "Warn" => false,
    "Error" => false,
    "Fatal Error" => false
)

log_file = "my_application.log"
PSRLogger.create_psr_logger(log_file; level_dict, color_dict, background_reverse_dict)

The next example shows how to remove the info tag

log_file = "my_application.log"
brackets_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => ["[", "]"],
    "Debug" => ["[", "]"],
    "Info" => ["", ""],
    "Warn" => ["[", "]"],
    "Error" => ["[", "]"],
    "Fatal Error" => ["[", "]"],
)
level_dict = Dict(
    "Debug Level" => "Debug Level",
    "Debug" => "Debug",
    "Info" => "",
    "Warn" => "Warn",
    "Error" => "Error",
    "Fatal Error" => "Fatal Error",
)
PSRLogger.create_psr_logger(log_file; brackets_dict, level_dict)
PSRLogger.info("info msg")
PSRLogger.warn("warn msg")
PSRLogger.remove_log_file_path_on_logger_creation(log_file)
