Clarity Suite

Clarity Logger is a part of the Clarity Suite, designed to let you manage exceptions more easily:

Clarity Context - Understand Your Exceptions
Clarity Logger - Useful Exception Logs
Clarity Control - Handle Your Exceptions

Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require code-distortion/clarity-logger

Config File

Use the following command if you would like to publish the config/code_distortion.clarity_logger.php config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CodeDistortion\ClarityLogger\ServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Update Your Exception Handler

Laravel projects use an exception handler class to log exceptions. You'll need to update this so Clarity Logger can log exceptions.

Add the following to the register() method of app/Exceptions/Handler.php.

If you use them, Laravel's own context details can be included by adding $this->exceptionContext($e).

By default, Laravel adds the PHP's stacktrace to the log afterwards. You can turn this off if you like by adding ->stop().

// app/Exceptions/Handler.php

namespace App\Exceptions;

use CodeDistortion\ClarityLogger\Logger; // <<<
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Throwable;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
    …

    /**
     * Register the exception handling callbacks for the application.
     */
    public function register(): void
    {
        $this->reportable(function (Throwable $e) {

            Logger::log($e, $this->exceptionContext($e)); // <<<

        })->stop(); // <<<
    }
}

Laravel will now log exceptions using Clarity Logger.

See Laravel's documentation for more information about exception handling.

Manual Logging

If you catch an exception, or would like to just log a message, you can trigger the logging yourself:

Logger::log($exception);
Logger::log('message');

You can specify the reporting level:

Logger::debug($exception);     // or ::debug('message')
Logger::info($exception);      // or ::info('message')
Logger::notice($exception);    // or ::notice('message')
Logger::warning($exception);   // or ::warning('message')
Logger::error($exception);     // or ::error('message')
Logger::critical($exception);  // or ::critical('message')
Logger::alert($exception);     // or ::alert('message')
Logger::emergency($exception); // or ::emergency('message')
// or
Logger::level(Settings::REPORTING_LEVEL_INFO)->log($exception); // or ->log('message');

If you'd like to log to a particular channel, specify it before triggering the log action:

Logger::channel('slack')->log($exception);

These methods can be chained:

Logger::channel('slack')->debug()->log($exception);
Logger::emergency()->channel('slack')->log('message');

Adding Some Context

If you add Clarity Context to your project (which lets you add context details to your code), Clarity Logger will include your context details automatically.

This can be a powerful tool when debugging exceptions. e.g.

EXCEPTION (UNCAUGHT):

exception     Illuminate\Http\Client\ConnectionException: "cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: api.example-gateway.com (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for https://api.example-gateway.com"
- location    app/Http/Controllers/CheckoutController.php on line 50 (method "submit")
- vendor      vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Http/Client/PendingRequest.php on line 856 (closure)
request       POST https://my-website.com/checkout
- referrer    https://my-website.com/checkout
- route       cart.checkout
- middleware  web
- action      CheckoutController@submit
- trace-id    1234567890
user          3342 - Bob - bob@example.com (123.123.123.123)
- agent       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/111.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
