# LoggingFormats.jl

This package is an aggregation of various useful format functions to use with the
[FormatLogger](https://github.com/JuliaLogging/LoggingExtras.jl#formatlogger-sink) from the
[LoggingExtras](https://github.com/JuliaLogging/LoggingExtras.jl) package.

Currently, the following functors are available:
- `JSON`: output log events as JSON
- `LogFmt`: output log events formatted as [logfmt](https://brandur.org/logfmt)
- `Truncated`: truncation of log messages

## `JSON`: Output log events as JSON

`LoggingFormats.JSON()` is a function which formats the log message and the log metadata as JSON.
Example:

```julia
julia> using LoggingFormats, LoggingExtras

julia> with_logger(FormatLogger(LoggingFormats.JSON(), stderr)) do
@info "hello, world"
@error "something is wrong"
end
{"level":"info","msg":"hello, world","module":"Main","file":"REPL[10]","line":2,"group":"REPL[10]","id":"Main_6972c828","kwargs":{}}
{"level":"error","msg":"something is wrong","module":"Main","file":"REPL[10]","line":3,"group":"REPL[10]","id":"Main_2289c7f9","kwargs":{}}
```

One can also pass `recursive=true` to recursively serialize the `kwargs` as JSON:

```julia
julia> using LoggingFormats, LoggingExtras

julia> with_logger(FormatLogger(LoggingFormats.JSON(; recursive=true), stderr)) do
@info "hello, world" key=Dict("hello" => true)
end
{"level":"info","msg":"hello, world","module":"Main","file":"REPL[18]","line":2,"group":"REPL[18]","id":"Main_ffce16b5","kwargs":{"key":{"hello":true}}}
```

If it encounters something which does not have a defined `StructTypes.StructType` to use
for serializing to JSON (or otherwise errors when serializing to JSON), it will fallback to converting the objects to strings, like the default `recursive=false` option does. Handles exceptions specially, by printing errors and stacktraces using `Base.showerror`.

```julia
julia> f() = try
throw(ArgumentError("Bad input"))
catch e
@error "Input error" exception=(e, catch_backtrace())
end

julia> with_logger(f, FormatLogger(LoggingFormats.JSON(; recursive=true), stderr))
{"level":"error","msg":"Input error","module":"Main","file":"REPL[2]","line":4,"group":"REPL[2]","id":"Main_a226875f","kwargs":{"exception":"ERROR: ArgumentError: Bad input\nStacktrace:\n [1] f()\n @ Main ./REPL[2]:2\n [2] with_logstate(f::Function, logstate::Any)\n @ Base.CoreLogging ./logging.jl:511\n [3] with_logger(f::Function, logger::FormatLogger)\n @ Base.CoreLogging ./logging.jl:623\n [4] top-level scope\n @ REPL[3]:1\n"}}
```

## `LogFmt`: Format log events as logfmt

`LoggingFormats.LogFmt()` is a function which formats the log message in the
[logfmt](https://brandur.org/logfmt) format. Example:

```julia
julia> using LoggingFormats, LoggingExtras

julia> with_logger(FormatLogger(LoggingFormats.LogFmt(), stderr)) do
@info "hello, world"
@error "something is wrong"
end
level=info msg="hello, world" module=Main file="REPL[2]" line=2 group="REPL[2]" id=Main_6972c827
level=error msg="something is wrong" module=Main file="REPL[2]" line=3 group="REPL[2]" id=Main_2289c7f8
```

Similarly to the JSON logger, `LogFmt` handles exceptions specially, by printing errors and stacktraces using `Base.showerror`.

One can also restrict the "standard" keys used in the log message, for example:

```julia
julia> using LoggingFormats, LoggingExtras

julia> with_logger(FormatLogger(LoggingFormats.LogFmt((:level, :message, :file)), stderr)) do
@info "hello, world" extra="bye"
@error "something is wrong"
end
level=info msg="hello, world" file="REPL[5]" extra="bye"
level=error msg="something is wrong" file="REPL[5]"
```

Note here that the `module`, `group`, `id` do not appear, since they weren't specified, but the "custom" key `extra` still appears. The full set of standard keys is `(:level, :msg, :module, :file, :line, :group, :id)`, which are all used by default, in that order.

## `Truncated`: Truncate long variables and messages

`LoggingFormats.Truncated(max_var_len=5_000)` is a function which formats data in similar manner as `ConsoleLogger`,
but with truncation of string representation when it exceeds `max_var_len`.
This format truncates the length of message itself, and truncates string representation of
individual variables, but does not truncate the size of whole printed text.

See the examples:

```julia
julia> using LoggingFormats, LoggingExtras

julia> with_logger(FormatLogger(LoggingFormats.Truncated(30))) do
short_var = "a"^5
long_var = "a"^50
@info "a short message" short_var long_var
@info "a very long message "^20 short_var long_var
end
┌ Info: a short message
│ short_var = aaaaa
│ long_var = aaaaaaaaaaaa…
└ @ Main REPL[46]:4
┌ Info: a very long message a very lo…
│ short_var = aaaaa
│ long_var = aaaaaaaaaaaa…
└ @ Main REPL[46]:5
```
