configShallow() public 

configShallow(mixed $key, mixed $value)

Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config() which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.

Setting a specific value:

$this->configShallow('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->configShallow('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->configShallow(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

string|array $key

The key to set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value optional

The value to set.

Returns

$this

critical() public 

critical(mixed $message, array $context)

Critical conditions.

Example: Application component unavailable, unexpected exception.

Parameters

string $message
array $context optional

debug() public 

debug(mixed $message, array $context)

Detailed debug information.

Parameters

string $message
array $context optional

emergency() public 

emergency(mixed $message, array $context)

System is unusable.

Parameters

string $message
array $context optional

error() public 

error(mixed $message, array $context)

Runtime errors that do not require immediate action but should typically be logged and monitored.

Parameters

string $message
array $context optional

getConfig() public 

getConfig(?string $key, mixed $default)

Returns the config.

Usage

Reading the whole config:

$this->getConfig();

Reading a specific value:

$this->getConfig('key');

Reading a nested value:

$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');

Reading with default value:

$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');

Parameters

string|null $key optional

The key to get or null for the whole config.

mixed $default optional

The return value when the key does not exist.

Returns

mixed

Configuration data at the named key or null if the key does not exist.

getConfigOrFail() public 

getConfigOrFail(string $key)

Returns the config for this specific key.

The config value for this key must exist, it can never be null.

Parameters

string $key

The key to get.

Returns

mixed

Configuration data at the named key

Throws

InvalidArgumentException

info() public 

info(mixed $message, array $context)

Interesting events.

levels() public 

levels()

Get the levels this logger is interested in.

Returns

array

log() public 

log(mixed $level, mixed $message, array $context)

array $context optional

Property Detail

$_config protected

Runtime config

Type

array

$_configInitialized protected

Whether the config property has already been configured with defaults

Type

bool

$_defaultConfig protected

Default config for this class

By default messages are formatted as: level: message

To override the log format (e.g. to add your own info) define the format key when configuring this logger

If you wish to include a prefix to all messages, for instance to identify the application or the web server, then use the prefix option. Please keep in mind the prefix is shared by all streams using syslog, as it is dependent of the running process. For a local prefix, to be used only by one stream, you can use the format key.

Example:

Log::config('error', ]
     'engine' => 'Syslog',
     'levels' => ['emergency', 'alert', 'critical', 'error'],
     'format' => "%s: My-App - %s",
     'prefix' => 'Web Server 01'
 ]);

Type

array

$_levelMap protected

Used to map the string names back to their LOG_* constants

Type

int[]

$_open protected

Whether the logger connection is open or not

Type

bool
