logger (version 0.1)

logger: Generate logging utility

Description

A logger consists of a log level threshold, a log message formatter function, a log record layout formatting function and the appender function deciding on the destination of the log record. For more details, see the package README.md.

Usage

logger(threshold, formatter, layout, appender)

Arguments

threshold

omit log messages below this log_levels

formatter

function pre-processing the message of the log record when it's not wrapped in a skip_formatter call

layout

function rendering the layout of the actual log record

appender

function writing the log record

Value

function taking level and msg arguments

Details

By default, a general logger definition is created when loading the logger package, that uses

1. INFO as the log level threshold

2. layout_simple as the layout function showing the log level, timestamp and log message

3. formatter_glue (or formatter_sprintf if glue is not installed) as the default formatter function transforming the R objects to be logged to a character vector

4. appender_console as the default log record destination
