    Log::Any::Plugin - Adapter-modifying plugins for Log::Any

VERSION

    version 0.010

SYNOPSIS

        use Log::Any::Adapter;
        use Log::Any::Plugin;
    
        # Create your adapter as normal
        Log::Any::Adapter-&gt;set( 'SomeAdapter' );
    
        # Add plugin to modify its behaviour
        Log::Any::Plugin-&gt;add( 'Stringify' );
    
        # Multiple plugins may be used together
        Log::Any::Plugin-&gt;add( 'Levels', level =&gt; 'debug' );

DESCRIPTION

    Log::Any::Plugin is a method for augmenting arbitrary instances of
    Log::Any::Adapters.

    Log::Any::Plugins work much in the same manner as Moose 'around'
    modifiers to augment logging behaviour of pre-existing adapters.

MOTIVATION

    Many of the Log::Any::Adapters have extended functionality, such as
    being able to selectively disable various log levels, or to handle
    multiple arguments.

    In order for Log::Any to be truly 'any', only the common subset of
    adapter functionality can be used. Any specific adapter functionality
    must be avoided if there is a possibility of using a different adapter
    at a later date.

    Log::Any::Plugins provide a method to augment adapters with missing
    functionality so that a superset of adapter functionality can be used.

METHODS

 add ( $plugin, [ %plugin_args ] )

    This is the single method for adding plugins to adapters. It works in a
    similar function to Log::Any::Adapter-&gt;set()

      * $plugin

      The plugin class to add to the currently active adapter. If the class
      is in the Log::Any::Plugin:: namespace, you can simply specify the
      name, otherwise prefix a '+'.

          eg. '+My::Plugin::Class'

      * %plugin_args

      These are plugin specific arguments. See the individual plugin
      documentation for what options are supported.

PLUGIN DEVELOPMENT

 Build Tools

      * You must have cpanm &lt;https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus&gt;
      installed.

      * Then install Dist::Zilla &lt;http://dzil.org/&gt; via cpanm Dist::Zilla.
      This is a Dist::Zilla-managed project.

 Setup Dependencies

    On initial check out of the project, set-up the required dependencies
    as follows:

        # Get dependencies
        dzil authordeps --missing | cpanm
        dzil listdeps --author | cpanm

    Next run a basic test suite:

        dzil test

    Install the necessary missed dependencies as needed via cpanm and rerun
    tests till they execute successfully.

    For example, there's a known issue
    &lt;https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=98689&gt; requiring
    explicit installation of Module::Build::Version.

    See the error logs as directed in the cpanm output.

 Development

    A plugin's entry point is via its install method which has the
    signature:

        install($class, $adapter_class, %args)

    $adapter_class is the Log::Any::Adapter adapter class to be used, e.g.
    Stderr.

    %args is a hash of arguments to configure or customise the plugin.

    Plugins add new facilities or augment existing facilities, so it's hard
    to define confines of their scope. This module packages in several
    use-case driven plugins that may serve as examples 窶� check the SEE ALSO
    section.

    Once a plugin is implemented, and tests added, re-run the Setup
    Dependencies steps to get any new required dependencies.

    Next, run the full suite of tests through a sequence of:

        dzil test
        dzil test --author
        dzil test --release

    Finally to remove any temporarily generated artifacts, run:

        dzil clean
