# Kalev

![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/eu.bolt/kalev?style=plastic)

Kalev is a structured logger for JVM (Java, Kotlin etc)

The idea of `Kalev` is pretty similar to `Timber`. Library provides `Kalevipoeg` interface with which you may implement various behaviour for log entries reaction.

## Packages

`kalev-lib` provides pure JVM implementation. Doesn't contains any implementation of `Kalevipoeg`
`kalev-android` contains bridge between Kalev and Android's log system. `PrintPoeg` format log entry as JSON string and print it to LogCat.
`kalev-okhttp` provide interceptor for `okhttp` to log network requests in Kalev-way

## Usage

Two easy steps:

1. Add any `Kalevipoeg` instances you want on application start. In Android application `onCreate` is a most suitable place
2. Call Kalev's static methods everywhere throughout your app.

Check full Android sample at `sample` dir

### Fields

Kalev encourages careful, structured logging through logging fields instead of long, unparseable error messages. For example, instead of: `Log.e("Failed to send event %s to topic %s with key %d", userEvent, selectedTopic, eventKey)`, you should log the much more discoverable:

```kotlin
Kalev.with("event", userEvent)
.with("key", eventKey)
.with("topic", selectedTopic)
.e("Failed to send event")
```

Note, that `with` call is optional

### Level logging

Kalev provides 5 levels of logs: verbose, debug, info, warning and error.

```kotlin
Kalev.v("Fragment created")
Kalev.v(throwable, "Fragment wasn't added")

Kalev.d("User logged in")
Kalev.d(throwable, "User error")

Kalev.i("Added item to bucket")
Kalev.i(throwable, "Busket is full")

Kalev.w("Paying for order")
Kalev.w(throwable, "Failed to pay")

Kalev.e("Smth happens")
Kalev.e(throwable, "Smth happened")
```

### Entries

Besides the fields added with `with` some fields are automatically added to all logging events:

`severity` The logging level. E.g. `i`.
`timestamp` The timestamp when the entry was created.
`message` The logging message passed to {v, d, i, w, e} after the `with` call. E.g. `Failed to send event.`

### Network Logging

Add `LoggingInterceptor` to your `OkHttpClient` to log network requests in Kalev-way.
Examples of network logs:

[http://httpbin.org/get?id=42](http://httpbin.org/get?id=42)
```json
{
"message": "network",
"method": "GET",
"path": "\/get",
"id": "42",
"response.code": 200,
"response.body": {
"args": {
"id": "42"
},
"headers": {
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip",
"Content-Type": "application\/json",
"Host": "httpbin.org",
"User-Agent": "okhttp\/3.12.12",
"X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-5ed772b8-71eaec363ea2adcca9201200"
},
"url": "https:\/\/httpbin.org\/get?id=42"
}
}
```

[http://httpbin.org/unknown](http://httpbin.org/unknown)
```json
{
"message": "network",
"method": "GET",
"path": "\/unknown",
"id": "42",
"response.code": 404,
"response.body": "\n404 Not Found<\/title>\n

Not Found<\/h1>\n

The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.<\/p>\n"
}
```

### FastLog
Kalev creates new object for every log entry which may abuse performance in case of stream of entries. You can go around of this issue with FastLog.

#### FastLog usage
There is `FastLog` interface which describes fast logger.
`kalev-lib` provides `SystemFastLog` implementation which prints messages to standard output stream
`kalev-android` provides `AndroidFastLog` implementation which prints messages to Android's LogCat
##### Initialisation:
`Kalev.fastLog = AndroidFastLog()`
##### Logging
`Kalev.fastLog?.v("Activity created")`

## Gradle
Add this to your dependencies block.
```
implementation 'eu.bolt:kalev:$latest'
```

To use an android extension use this dependency instead:
```
implementation 'eu.bolt:kalev-android:$latest'
```

Kalev-okhttp package:
```
implementation 'eu.bolt:kalev-okhttp:$latest'
```

## Naming

Kaleva - also known as Kalevi or Kalev - and his sons are important heroic figures in Estonian, Finnish and Karelian mythology. [Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalevi_(mythology))
