BufferedLogger is a tiny but thread-safe logger with a buffering and retrying mechanism for iOS.

- Buffer log entries until it's time to output them.
- Batch multiple log entries to use them at the same time.
- Retry outputing log entries when some backoff time elapsed after some errors occurred.

You can use this framework...

- To send a group of log entries to your server.
- To resend them when some errors like a networking trouble were occured.

## Runtime Requirements

- iOS 9.0 or later
- Swift5

## Installation

### Carthage

```
github "yoheimuta/BufferedLogger"
```

### CocoaPods

```
pod "BufferedLogger"
```

## Usage

For details, refer to a [Demo project](https://github.com/yoheimuta/BufferedLogger/tree/master/Demo).

### Define your own Writer

Posted log entries are buffered and emitted as a chunk on a routine schedule.

write method is ensured to call serially, which means it is run by a serial queue.

```swift
class MyWriter: Writer {
func write(_ chunk: Chunk, completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
// You can implement something useful like uploading logs to your server.
print("chunk is \(chunk)")

chunk.entries.forEach {
print("entry is \($0)")
}

completion(true)
}
}
```

### Make the logger and post a log

You have to register your writer to the logger and can post your log with it from any thread.

A call to post method is no blocking.

```swift
import BufferedLogger

logger = BFLogger(writer: MyWriter())
logger.post("1".data(using: .utf8)!)
logger.post("2".data(using: .utf8)!)
logger.post("3".data(using: .utf8)!)
```

You can also create your configuration for buffering and emitting mechanism.

If you omit to define your configuration, default below is used. Each meaning is in a comment.

```swift
/// Config represents a configuration for buffering and writing logs.
public struct Config {
/// flushEntryCount is the maximum number of entries per one chunk.
/// When the number of entries of buffer reaches this count, it starts to write a chunk.
public let flushEntryCount: Int

/// flushInterval is a interval to write a chunk.
public let flushInterval: TimeInterval

/// retryRule is a rule of retry.
public let retryRule: RetryRule

/// maxEntryCountInStorage is a max count of entry to be saved in the storage.
/// When the number of entries in the storage reaches this count, it starts to
/// delete the older entries.
public let maxEntryCountInStorage: Int

/// storagePath is a path to the entries.
/// When you uses multiple BFLogger, you must set an unique path.
public let storagePath: String

public init(flushEntryCount: Int = 5,
flushInterval: TimeInterval = 10,
retryRule: RetryRule = DefaultRetryRule(retryLimit: 3),
maxEntryCountInStorage: Int = 1000,
storagePath: String = defaultStoragePath) {
self.flushEntryCount = flushEntryCount
self.flushInterval = flushInterval
self.retryRule = retryRule
self.maxEntryCountInStorage = maxEntryCountInStorage
self.storagePath = storagePath
}

/// default is a default configuration.
public static let `default` = Config()
}
```

# Persistence

BufferedLogger stores the unsent entries in the local storage when the application couldn't send log entries.

By default, it stores them in local files in the Library/Caches directory.

You can also define your own custom log entry storage backed by any storage system.

See the EntryStroage protocol for more details.
