Catalyst::Plugin::Log::Colorful - Catalyst Plugin for Colorful Log

 sub foo : Private {
     my ($self , $c  ) = @_;
     $c->log->debug('debug');
     $c->log->info( 'info');
     $c->log->warn( 'warn');
     $c->log->error('error');
     $c->log->fatal('fatal');

     $c->log->debug('debug' , 'red', 'white');
     $c->log->warn( 'warn' ,  'blue' );
 }

myapp.yml # default color is set but can change.

 'Plugin::Log::Colorful' :
    color_table :
        debug :
            color    : white
            bg_color : blue
        warn :
            color    : blue
            bg_color : green
        error :
            color    : red
            bg_color : yellow
        fatal :
            color    : red
            bg_color : green

Sometimes when I am monitoring 'tail -f error_log' or './script/my_server.pl' during develop phase, I could not find log message because of a lot of logs. This plugin may help to find it out. This plugin is using Term::ANSIColor.

Of course when you open log file with vi or some editor, the color wont change and also you will see additional log such as 'oraora'.

for new version I remove $c->log->color() but still you can use if you turn on on_backward_compatibility setting.

This plugin injects a color() method into the Catalyst::Log namespace.

 use Catalyst qw/-Debug ConfigLoader Log::Colorful/;

 __PACKAGE__->config(
    name => 'MyApp' ,
    'Plugin::Log::Colorful' => {
        on_backward_compatibility => 1,
        text        => 'blue',
        background  => 'green',
    }
 );

In your controller.

 $c->log->color('hello');
 $c->log->color('hello blue' , 'blue');
 $c->log->color('hello red on white' , 'red' , 'white');
 $c->log->color( $hash_ref );
 $c->log->color( $array_ref );

Catalyst::Log Term::ANSIColor
