Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic - Default logging formatter

Formats log messages for output in a basic format, suitable for most applications.

    use Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic;
    use Log::Fine::Handle::Console;

    # instantiate a handle
    my $handle = Log::Fine::Handle::Console->new();

    # instantiate a formatter
    my $formatter = Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic
        ->new( name             => 'basic0',
               timestamp_format => "%y-%m-%d %h:%m:%s" );

    # set the formatter
    $handle->formatter( formatter => $formatter );

    # format a msg
    my $str = $formatter->format(INFO, "Resistance is futile", 1);

The basic formatter provides logging in the following format:

    <[TIMESTAMP] <LEVEL> <MESSAGE>

Note that this is the default format for Log::Fine::Handle objects.

Formats the given message for the given level

* level

Level at which to log (see Log::Fine::Levels)

* message

Message to log

* skip

[ignored] Controls caller skip level

The formatted text string in the form:

  [TIMESTAMP] LEVEL MESSAGE
