Create logger

Create a json-emitting logger, using the 'lgr' package.

porcelain_logger(log_level = "info", name = NULL, path = NULL)

Arguments

log_level

The level of detail to log to. See lgr::get_log_levels() for possible values; this could be a string ("off", "info", "all", etc) or an integer level.

name

The name of the logger. By default we use one derived from the package name, though this may not always be accurate.

path

Optionally, the path to log into. If not given then we log to the console.

Value

A "Logger" object (see lgr::Logger)

Examples

logger <- porcelain::porcelain_logger(name = "example")
logger$log("info", "hello")
#> {"level":400,"timestamp":"2024-02-29 13:56:30","logger":"example","caller":"eval","msg":"hello","package_id":null}
logger$log("trace", "silent")
