Alt Three Logger

A logger wrapper for Laravel 5.

Installation

This version requires PHP 7, and supports Laravel 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5.

To get the latest version, simply require the project using Composer:

$ composer require alt-three/logger

Once installed, you need to register the AltThree\Logger\LoggerServiceProvider service provider in your config/app.php, or if you're using Laravel 5.5, this can be done via the automatic package discovery.

Configuration

Alt Three Logger requires configuration.

To get started, you'll need to publish all vendor assets:

$ php artisan vendor:publish

This will create a config/logger.php file in your app that you can modify to set your configuration. Also, make sure you check for changes to the original config file in this package between releases.

Usage

Alt Three Logger provides a clean way to log to multiple destinations at once. Simply fill out the config with the psr loggers you want to use, and we'll do the rest. We even allow you to configure which level of messages to send to each logger.

Due to limitations with the way Laravel's setup, we cannot override the log instance that's bound to the IoC, so you'll find that still gives you an instance of Laravel's bog standard logger, and Laravel's Log facade will be using that instance too, however we do provide our own facade to use if you'd like.

The main advantage to this package is that we are still able to override the IoC bindings to the psr logger interface and to Laravel's logger contract, so if you're dependency injecting those, you'll get our fancy logger to work with. Brilliant!

An example of where this package can really help you out is in the exception handler. Without you having to make any changes there, you immediately have the ability to log to multiple places as Laravel's injecting our logger into your exception handler because of the binding we have to the psr logger interface.
