Activesupport::Logger

This is an unofficial extraction of Rails' v8 ActiveSupport::Logger backported to work with Rails v5.2+ and Ruby 2.7+.

If the suite of gems this is part of is loaded in any version of Rails >= 5.2, it will replace the logging tooling completely.

Simplified, the load order is basically:

• Enhanced activesupport-logger (this gem) which was ripped from Rails v8.0
• Enhanced activesupport-broadcast_logger which was ripped from Rails v8.0, and this PR
• Enhanced activesupport-tagged_logging which was ripped from Rails v8.0, and this PR

Above load order is handled for you in activesupport-tagged_logging (not this gem), so depend on that, not this. ;)

NOTE: Don't do this. Instead, use activesupport-tagged_logging (not this gem, but which uses this gem as a dependency).

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add activesupport-logger

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install activesupport-logger

NOTE: Don't do this. Instead, use activesupport-tagged_logging (not this gem, but which uses this gem as a dependency, and also configures this gem for you).

require "activesupport-logger"

This gem is automatically depended on and configured by activesupport-broadcast_logger, which in turn is automatically depended on and configured by activesupport-tagged_logging so you don't need to do anything beyond adding activesupport-tagged_logging to your app's Gemfile, and configuring it.

IMPORTANT: If you are using activesupport-tagged_logging or activesupport-broadcast_logger, do not require activesupport-logger in your code. Load order matters.

If you need some ideas of where to help, you could work on adding more code coverage, or if it is already 💯 then check issues, or PRs, or use the gem and think about how it could be better.

Everyone interacting in this project's codebases, issue trackers, chat rooms and mailing lists is expected to follow the code of conduct.

This Library adheres to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.

To get a better understanding of how SemVer is intended to work over a project's lifetime, read this article from the creator of SemVer:

• "Major Version Numbers are Not Sacred"

As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a dependency on these libraries using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.

For example:

spec.add_dependency("activesupport-logger", "~> 2.0")

You made it to the bottom of the page, so perhaps you'll indulge me for another 20 seconds. I maintain many dozens of gems, including this one, because I want Ruby to be a great place for people to solve problems, big and small. Please consider supporting my efforts via the giant yellow link below, or one of the others at the head of this README.
