codenic_logger 1.0.0

A logger extension for providing structured and mutable log messages.

A logger extension for providing structured and mutable log messages.

This uses the logger package to produce log messages.

Features

Use this package in your app to:

• Structurally create mutable log messages.
• Initialize log messages early, populate it with data throughout the code execution, then printing them at a later point in time.
• Log messages on multiple log levels – verbose, debug, info, warning, error and wtf.
• Automatically add a user ID to all log data upon logging.

Getting started

To get started, just create a Codenic logger instance:

final codenicLogger = CodenicLogger();

const messageLog = MessageLog(
  id: 'save_user_info',
  message: 'Save completed',
  data: { 'name': 'Jayce', 'age': 24 },
);

codenicLogger.info(messageLog);

Usage

This section has examples of code for the following tasks:

• Logging with different log levels
• Logging an exception
• Setting a user ID – Adding log data
• Customizing the logger
• Sample Integration: Firebase Crashlytics

Logging with different log levels

final codenicLogger = CodenicLogger();

final messageLog = MessageLog(id: 'log_levels');

codenicLogger
  ..verbose(messageLog..message = 'Verbose log success')
  ..debug(messageLog..message = 'Debug log success')
  ..info(messageLog..message = 'Info log success')
  ..warn(messageLog..message = 'Warn log success')
  ..error(messageLog..message = 'Error log success')
  ..wtf(messageLog..message = 'Wtf log success');

Logging an exception

try {
  throw Exception('Test exception');
} catch (exception, stackTrace) {
  messageLog.message = 'An error occurred';
  codenicLogger.error(messageLog, error: exception, stackTrace: stackTrace);
}

Blocklisting stack trace line

To prevent a stack trace line from being printed, you can use the blocklistStackTraceLine method:

// lines with `package:codenic_logger/` will not be printed
final codenicLogger = CodenicLogger(
  printer: MessageLogPrinter(
    stackTraceBlocklistRegex: RegExp('package:codenic_logger/'),
  ),
);

Setting a user ID

When a user ID is provided, it will automatically be included in the log data.

codenicLogger.userId = 'sample-uid';
codenicLogger.info(messageLog);

To remove the user ID, simply set it back to null:

codenic.userId = null;

Updating message log properties

final messageLog = MessageLog(id: 'update_message_log');

messageLog
  ..message = 'Update message log success'
  ..data.addAll({'lorep': 'ipsum', 'mauris': 42});

codenicLogger.verbose(messageLog);

Customizing the log output

To customize the log output, provide a custom logger instance:

final logger = Logger(
  printer: PrettyPrinter(
    methodCount: 2, // number of method calls to be displayed
    errorMethodCount: 8, // number of method calls if stacktrace is provided
    lineLength: 120, // width of the output
    colors: true, // Colorful log messages
    printEmojis: true, // Print an emoji for each log message
    printTime: false // Should each log print contain a timestamp
  ),
);

final codenicLogger = CodenicLogger(logger: logger);

Sample Integration: Firebase Crashlytics

class FirebaseLogger extends CodenicLogger {
  @override
  set userId(String? _userId) {
    super.userId = _userId;
    FirebaseCrashlytics.instance.setUserIdentifier(_userId ?? '');
  }

  @override
  void error(
    MessageLog messageLog, {
    dynamic error,
    StackTrace? stackTrace,
  }) {
    super.error(messageLog, error: error, stackTrace: stackTrace);

    FirebaseCrashlytics.instance.recordError(
      error,
      stackTrace,
      reason: messageLog,
    );
  }
}
