Logbook

Logbook is a lightweight logging framework for iOS and iPadOS

Features

• Levels: Debug -> Error
• Categories
• Extendable Log Handler

Basic usage

First setup Logbook by adding a LogSink

Logbook.add(sink: ConsoleLogSink())

Log some data

Logbook.debug("Hello Logbook")
Logbook.error("Hello Error")

Advanced usage

Create a global variable for faster access.

let log = Logbook.self

log.debug("Hello Logbook")

LogSinks

Filter logs by level.

ConsoleLogSink(level: .min(.warning))
ConsoleLogSink(level: .fix(.info))

Filter logs by category:

ConsoleLogSink(level: .min(.debug), categories: .include([.networking]))

or

ConsoleLogSink(level: .min(.debug), categories: .exclude([.networking]))

Add multiple sinks for different usecases:

// Log all with min level warning
Logbook.add(sink: ConsoleLogSink(level: .min(.warning)))

// Log only level error with category .networking
Logbook.add(sink: ConsoleLogSink(level: .fix(.error), categories: .include([.networking])))

Formatting

Add custom dateFormatter to sink

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateStyle = .none
dateFormatter.timeStyle = .short

let console = ConsoleLogSink(level: .min(.debug), categories: .exclude([.networking]))
console.dateFormatter = dateFormatter

Add logging format to ConsoleLogSink

console.format = "\(LogPlaceholder.category) \(LogPlaceholder.date): \(LogPlaceholder.messages)"

Custom LogSink

Create your custom sink by confirming LogSink protocol.

LogCategory

Extend LogCategory to create custom categories.

extension LogCategory {
    
    static let startup = LogCategory("startup", prefix: "🚦")
    static let bluetooth = LogCategory("bluetooth", prefix: "🖲")
    
}

log.debug("hello", category: .startup)

Carthage

github "allaboutapps/Logbook"

Then run carthage update.
