zend-psr-log

Overview

A number of PHP libraries accept a Psr\Log\LoggerInterface for logging messages. Unfortunately, applications using Zend Framework 2 cannot provide their existing Zend\Log\Logger loggers, as they don't comply with PSR-3.

In fact, the two interfaces are not compatible, as they declare some common methods with different signatures. For example: Zend alert vs. Psr alert.

This library serves as a backwards-compatible replacement for Zend\Log\Logger instances that provides a Psr\Log-compliant interface to the underlying Zend\Log\Logger instance. The result is that you can provide either logger depending on the interface required by a given context, while still having all messages go through Zend\Log\Logger and benefiting from its robustness.

Installation

The only supported method of installation is Composer.

composer require "michaelmoussa/zend-psr-log"

Configuration

To begin, you must add the ZendPsrLog module to your application.config.php module list as with any ZF2 application.

return [
    'modules' => [
        ...,

        'ZendPsrLog',

        ...
    ],
    ...
];

Further configuration depends on how you are presently getting your instances of a Zend\Log\Logger.

"I define a log entry in my configuration with Zend\Log\Logger as the key, and then let Zend\Log\LoggerAbstractServiceFactory do the work."

Then you're done! ZendPsrLog adds its own factory for creating Zend\Log\Logger instances, which will be invoked before the Abstract Factory.

"I define a log entry in my configuration with a different key, then let Zend\Log\LoggerAbstractServiceFactory do the work."

For each key you use, you'll need to add a 'My\Key\Here' => new \ZendPsrLog\LoggerFactory('My\Key\Here') entry to your service manager config.

"I define a log key in my configuration with no key, and then have my own 'Zend\Log\Logger' => '...' factory definition in the service manager config"

You need to replace your 'Zend\Log\Logger' => '...' entry with 'Zend\Log\Logger' => new \ZendPsrLog\LoggerFactory(null), as your definition will override the one done by the ZendPsrLog\LoggerFactory.

If your custom factory is doing some special logic, you will have to extend ZendPsrLog\LoggerFactory on your own to ensure it persists.

"I use new \Zend\Log\Logger(...)."

1. Please don't. :) You should be using the ServiceManager.
2. Replace new \Zend\Log\Logger with new \ZendPsrLog\Logger.

Usage

As a Zend\Log\LoggerInterface

The ZendPsrLog\Logger is an extension of Zend\Log\Logger, so any class you have in your application that is presently using a Zend\Log\Logger can use the ZendPsrLog\Logger without any additional configuration.

As a Psr\Log\LoggerInterface

Suppose you have a class that requires a Psr\Log\LoggerInterface instance:

use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

class Foo
{
    public function __construct(LoggerInterface $logger) { ... }
}

And you obtain an instance of the ZendPsrLog\Logger:

/** @var \ZendPsrLog\Logger $logger */
$logger = $serviceManager->get('Zend\Log\Logger');

Just use the ->getPsrLogger() method to obtain a Psr\Log\LoggerInterface to your existing Zend\Log\Logger:

$foo = new Foo($logger->getPsrLogger());
