[READONLY] phpflo-flowtrace

Log phpflo network execution for debugging or analysis.

Tracing events

Every time you want to debug your flows, you need to see the data transitions between your components, the connects/disconnect etc.

With this library you are now able to do so.

Setup

It's nearly as simple as using phpflo itself. Add a composer require phpflo/flowtrace and initialise like this:

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/autoload.php';

$traceableNetwork = new \PhpFlo\FlowTrace\TraceableNetwork(
    new PhpFlo\Core\Network(
        new PhpFlo\Core\Builder\ComponentFactory()
    ),
    new \PhpFlo\FlowTrace\Logger\SimpleFile(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'flow.log', 'info')
);
$traceableNetwork
    ->boot(__DIR__.'/count.fbp')
    ->run($fileName, "ReadFile", "source")
    ->shutdown();

This will dump all your data flows into a flow.log where you can later review. As you might have noticed, the logger has a "level" given, which is PSR3 compatible - in fact, the whole SimpleFile logger is just a basic implementation of the PSR3 AbstractLogger. You can easily replace this logger with your own PSR compatible one. Providing a certain level will give you more detailed information. "debug" will also give you all connects/disconnects, "info" will just provide data flows and data.

Logs

The logs are compatible with flowbased/flowtrace and reproduce flows within Flowhub.

Example of reading the count.fbp file (info):

-> source ReadFile  DATA examples/linecount/count.fbp
ReadFile out -> in SplitbyLines  DATA ReadFile(ReadFile) out -> in SplitbyLines(SplitStr)
ReadFile(ReadFile) error -> in Display(Output)
SplitbyLines(SplitStr) out -> in CountLines(Counter)
CountLines(Counter) count -> in Display(Output)

SplitbyLines out -> in CountLines  DATA ReadFile(ReadFile) out -> in SplitbyLines(SplitStr)
SplitbyLines out -> in CountLines  DATA ReadFile(ReadFile) error -> in Display(Output)
SplitbyLines out -> in CountLines  DATA SplitbyLines(SplitStr) out -> in CountLines(Counter)
