Dancer::Logger3pm

Default engine

The setting logger defines which logger engine to use. If this setting is not set, logging will not be available in the application code.

Dancer comes with the logger engines Dancer::Logger::File and Dancer::Logger::Console, but more are available on the CPAN.

Configuration

The logger configuration variable tells Dancer which engine to use.

You can change it either in your config.yml file:

    # logging to console
    logger: "console"

Or in the application code:

    # logging to file 
    set logger => 'file';

The log format can also be configured, please see "logger_format" in Dancer::Logger::Abstract for details.

Auto-serializing

The loggers allow auto-serializing of all inputs:

    debug( 'User credentials: ', \%creds );

Will provide you with an output in a single log message of the string and the reference dump.
