view-logger 1.0

Package with decorators for views

View logger

View Logger is a decorators for Django views. It allows you to collect basic information about the user who made the request and about errors.

Quick start

1. Create empty dir logs in the root of your project

2. Create logging configuration in your setting. By default, view-logger uses error_logger and info_logger. These two loggers should be in the logging settings.

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'formatters': {
        ...
    },
    'handlers': {
        ...
    },
    'loggers': {
        'info_logger': {
            ...
        },
        'error_logger': {
            ...
        },
    },
}

3. Import from view_logger decorators: log_wrapper or http_logger

log_wrapper - Decorator for logging unhandled errors.

http_logger - Decorator for logging user`s information and unhandled errors.
