info(self, ...), debug(self, ...), warning(self, ...), error(self, ...), critical(self, ...)

Methods for logging messages at specific log levels (INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL). Parameters are similar to log.

warn(self, ...), crit(self, ...)

Aliases for warning and critical methods, respectively.

json(self, data:Any, pretty=False, color:str=None, msg:str="")

Logs data in JSON format.

format_record(self, record:Record)

Formats a log record.

print_current_style(self)

Prints the current style configuration of the logger.

data_to_str(self, data:Any)

Converts data to a string representation.

colorize_data(self, ...)

Colorizes the data string based on specified schema.

Usage Example

For fast usage:

from dlog import *
l = Logger()
l("Hello World!", {"a": "b"}, c=GRN)

from my_logging_module import Logger

# Initialize logger with default settings
logger = Logger()

# Log an informational message
logger.info("This is an informational message")

# Log a debug message with additional data
logger.debug("Debug message", data={"key": "value"})

Note

For detailed styling options, refer to the style parameter in the constructor documentation. The style dictionary provides extensive customization for log appearance, data representation, and coloring schema.

Basic Setup

Before diving into complex scenarios, let's start with a basic setup:

from dlog import Logger

# Basic logger with default settings
basic_logger = Logger()
basic_logger.info("This is a basic log message.")

Customizing Logger Appearance

Now, let's customize the appearance of our logger:

# Customized logger
custom_logger = Logger(line_length=120, time_format="local-%H:%M:%S", compact=True)
custom_logger.info("Customized logger message.")

Logging with Different Levels

We can log messages at different levels, such as DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL:

custom_logger.debug("This is a debug message.")
custom_logger.warning("Warning! Check this out.")
custom_logger.error("Error occurred in the system.")
custom_logger.critical("Critical issue encountered!")

Logging with Data

Log complex data structures, like dictionaries and lists, which is helpful for debugging:

complex_data = {"key1": "value1", "key2": [1, 2, 3], "key3": {"nested_key": "nested_value"}}
custom_logger.info("Logging complex data", data=complex_data)

Exception Handling

Capture and log exceptions, which is crucial for debugging errors in your code:

try:
    1 / 0
except Exception as e:
    custom_logger.error("An exception occurred", exc=e)

Logging with Colors and Dividers

Enhance readability with colors and dividers:

custom_logger.info("Colored log message", color=Logger.GRN, divider=Logger.GRN)
custom_logger.error("Error with red divider", color=Logger.RED, divider=Logger.RED)

Compact and Cleaner Modes

Switch between compact and verbose modes for different logging needs:

# Compact mode
compact_logger = Logger(compact=True)
compact_logger.info("Compact mode log.")

# Cleaner mode
verbose_logger = Logger(compact=False)
verbose_logger.info("Verbose mode log.")

Using JSON Format for Data

Log data in JSON format for easier parsing and readability:

json_data = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "city": "Wonderland"}
custom_logger.json(json_data, msg="User details in JSON:")

Customizing Metadata Display

You can choose what metadata to display in your logs, such as log number, time, and source file name:

metadata_logger = Logger(show_log_number=False, show_time=False, show_file_name=False)
metadata_logger.info("Log with custom metadata.")

Using Different Styles

Experiment with different styles for various logging scenarios:

# Logger with a different style
style_logger = Logger(style=Logger.STYLE_0)
style_logger.info("Log message with a different style.")

Logging Large Data Sets

Handle and log large data sets by customizing data representation:

large_data = [i for i in range(1000)]
custom_logger.debug("Logging large data set", data=large_data)

Each of these examples showcases the flexibility of the Logger class from the dlog module. You can mix and match these features to suit your specific logging needs, whether for simple debugging or complex system monitoring.

Shortcuts in the Logger class provide a quicker and more concise way to log messages at different levels. Let's incorporate these shortcuts into our examples to demonstrate their convenience:

Using the Logger Shortcut for INFO Level

The logger() method is a shortcut for logging at the INFO level:

from dlog import Logger

# Initialize the logger
shortcut_logger = Logger()

# Shortcut for logging an INFO message
shortcut_logger("This is an INFO level message using the logger() shortcut.")

Shortcut for CRITICAL Level with crit()

Similarly, crit() is a shortcut for logging at the CRITICAL level:

# Logging a CRITICAL message using the crit() shortcut
shortcut_logger.crit("Critical issue logged using crit() shortcut.")

Other Level Shortcuts

For other log levels, corresponding methods like debug(), warning(), error(), and critical() can be used directly:

# Logging messages at various levels using direct methods
shortcut_logger.debug("This is a DEBUG level message.")
shortcut_logger.warning("This is a WARNING level message.")
shortcut_logger.error("This is an ERROR level message.")
shortcut_logger.critical("This is a CRITICAL level message using critical().")

Combining Shortcuts with Other Features

These shortcuts can be combined with other features like custom data, colors, and dividers:

# Using shortcut with custom data and color
data = {"key": "value", "number": 123}
shortcut_logger("Logging with data and color", data, color=Logger.YEL)

# Using crit() with a divider
shortcut_logger.crit("Critical message with a divider", divider=Logger.RED)

In summary, these shortcuts (logger(), crit(), etc.) provide a quick and effective way to log messages, enhancing the efficiency and readability of your code, especially in complex logging scenarios.
