NAME

Mojo::Log::Colored - Colored Mojo logging

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Log::Colored;

# Log to STDERR
$app->log(
    Mojo::Log::Colored->new(
        
        # optionally set the colors
        colors => {
            debug => "bold bright_white",
            info  => "bold bright_blue",
            warn  => "bold green",
            error => "bold yellow",
            fatal => "bold yellow on_red",
        }
    )
);   

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Log::Colored is a logger for Mojolicious with colored output for the terminal. It lets you define colors for each log level based on Term::ANSIColor and comes with sensible default colors. The full lines in the log will be colored.

Since this inherits from Mojo::Log you can still give it a file, but the output would also be colored. That does not make a lot of sense, so you don't want to do that. Use this for development, not production.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Log::Colored implements the following attributes.

colors

my $colors = $log->colors;
$log->colors(
    {
        debug => "bold bright_white",
        info  => "bold bright_blue",
        warn  => "bold green",
        error => "bold yellow",
        fatal => "bold yellow on_red",
    }
);

Takes a hash reference with the five log levels as keys and strings of colors as values. Refer to Term::ANSIColor for more information about what kind of color you can use.

You can turn off coloring for specific levels by omitting them from the config hash.

$log->colors(
    {
        fatal => "bold green on_red",
    }
);

The above will only color fatal messages. All other levels will be in your default terminal color.

format

my $cb = $log->format;
$log   = $log->format( sub { ... } );

A callback for formatting log messages. Cannot be passed to new at construction! See Mojo::Log for more information.

METHODS

Mojo::Log::Colored inherits all methods from Mojo::Log and does not implement new ones.

BREAKING CHANGES

Mojolicious changed the way multi-line log messages are emitted in version 9. This logger honours this default format.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This plugin was inspired by lanti asking about a way to find specific errors more easily in the Mojo log during unit test runs on Stack Overflow.
