Lightweight logging library for Kotlin/Multiplatform. Supports Android, iOS, JavaScript and plain JVM environments.

- **log4k**: Base library, provides infrastructure and console logging
- **log4k-slf4j**: Integration with [SLF4J](https://www.slf4j.org)

## Download
Artifacts are published to [Maven Central][maven-central]:

```kotlin
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
implementation("de.peilicke.sascha:log4k:1.3.3")
}
```

## Usage
Logging messages is straightforward, the **Log** object provides the usual functions you'd expect:

```kotlin
// Log to your heart's content
Log.verbose("FYI")
Log.debug("Debugging ${foo.bar}")
Log.info("Nice to know", tag = "SomeClass")
Log.warn("Warning about $stuff ...")
Log.error("Oops!")
Log.assert("Something went wrong!", throwable)
```

Or, if you prefer:

```kotlin
Log.verbose { "FYI" }
Log.debug { "Debugging ${foo.bar}" }
Log.info(tag = "SomeClass") { "Nice to know" }
Log.warn { "Warning about $stuff ..." }
Log.error { "Oops!" }
Log.assert(throwable = Exception("Ouch!")) { "Something went wrong!" }
```

The log output includes the function name and line and pretty-prints exceptions on all supported platforms:

I/Application.onCreate: Log4K rocks!

### Logging objects
In case you want to log `Any` Kotlin class instance or object:

```kotlin
val map = mapOf("Hello" to "World")
map.logged()
```

The above example logs `{Hello=World}` with the tag `SingletonMap` with the log level `Debug`.

### Logging expensive results
Sometimes, the log output involves a heavy computation that is not always necessary. For example, if the global log
level is set to `Info` or above, the following text would not appear in any log output:

```kotlin
Log.debug("Some ${veryHeavyStuff()}")
```

However, the function `veryHeavyStuff()` will be executed regardless. To avoid this, use:

```kotlin
Log.debug { "Some ${veryHeavyStuff()}" }
```

## Configuration (Android example)
To only output messages with log-level *info* and above, you can configure the console logger in your Application class:

```kotlin
class MyApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
Log.loggers.forEach {
if (!BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
it.minimumLogLevel = Log.Level.Info
}
}
}
}
```

## Logging to a file

By default, the library only logs to the current platform's console.
Additionally or instead, add one or multiple file loggers:

```kotlin
// Log with daily rotation and keep five log files at max:
Log.loggers += FileLogger(rotate = Rotate.Daily, limit = Limit.Files(max = 5))

// Log to a custom path and rotate every 1000 lines written:
Log.loggers += FileLogger(rotate = Rotate.After(lines = 1000), logPath = "myLogPath")

// Log with sensible defaults (daily, keep 10 files)
Log.loggers += FileLogger()

// On huge eternal log file:
Log.loggers += FileLogger(rotate = Rotate.Never, limit = Limit.Not)
```

## Custom logger (Android Crashlytics example)
The library provides a cross-platform `ConsoleLogger` by default. Custom loggers can easily be added. For instance, to
send only `ERROR` and `ASSERT` messages to Crashlytics in production builds, you could do the following:

```kotlin
class MyApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
Log.loggers.clear() // Remove default loggers
Log.loggers += when {
BuildConfig.DEBUG -> ConsoleLogger()
else -> CrashlyticsLogger()
}
}

private class CrashlyticsLogger : Logger() {
override fun print(level: Log.Level, tag: String, message: String?, throwable: Throwable?) {
val priority = when (level) {
Log.Level.Verbose -> VERBOSE
Log.Level.Debug -> DEBUG
Log.Level.Info -> INFO
Log.Level.Warning -> WARN
Log.Level.Error -> ERROR
Log.Level.Assert -> ASSERT
}
if (priority >= ERROR) {
FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().log("$priority $tag $message")
throwable?.let { FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().recordException(it) }
}
}
}
}
```

## Ktor integration

Ktor supports [providing a custom logger][ktor-logging]:

```kotlin
import io.ktor.client.*
import io.ktor.client.engine.cio.*
import io.ktor.client.plugins.logging.*
import saschpe.log4k.Log

val httpClient = HttpClient(CIO) {
install(Logging) {
level = LogLevel.ALL
logger = object : Logger {
override fun log(message: String) = Log.info { message }
}
}
}
```
