logrb

Small logger inspired by Go's Zap

Readme Components

Logrb

Logrb is a small logging library for Ruby, inspired by Go's Zap.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'logrb'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install logrb

Usage

Start by creating a new logger:

require 'logrb'

logger = Logrb.new($stdout)

# Additionally, other options can be passed to the initializer:
# logger = Logrb.new($stdout, [format: :json], [level: :warn], [sample_field: :foo])

Then, call either error, fatal, warn, info, debug, or dump.

logger.debug("Email dispatched", address: "foo@bar.com")
# => 2021-08-16T08:42:26.528-0300 DEBUG: <main>: Email dispatched {:address=>"foo@bar.com"}

logger.info("Operation completed", duration: 3.4)
# => 2021-08-16T08:43:00.790-0300 INFO: <main>: Operation completed {:duration=>3.4}

logger.warn("Attention is required", event: :something)
# => 2021-08-16T08:44:16.172-0300 WARN: <main>: Attention is required {:event=>:something}

logger.error("Something went wrong", StandardError.new("Boom"), user_id: 27)
# => 2021-08-16T08:47:09.968-0300 ERROR: <main>: Something went wrong {:user_id=>27}: Boom

logger.dump("Received data", "\xC0\xFF\xEE\xBA\xBE")
# => 2021-08-16T08:49:52.371-0300 DUMP: <main>: Received data

#        00000005

For production environments, it is recommended to use a JSON format, which spans one line per entry:

logger.debug("Email dispatched", address: "foo@bar.com")
# => {"level":"debug","caller":"(irb):10","msg":"Email dispatched","ts":1629115513,"address":"foo@bar.com"}

logger.info("Operation completed", duration: 3.4)
# => {"level":"info","caller":"(irb):11","msg":"Operation completed","ts":1629115513,"duration":3.4}

logger.warn("Attention is required", event: :something)
# => {"level":"warn","caller":"(irb):12","msg":"Attention is required","ts":1629115513,"event":"something"}

logger.error("Something went wrong", StandardError.new("Boom"), user_id: 27)

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
