Welcome to the documentation page for DryLogging, a comprehensive logging framework for iOS and macOS applications. This library provides developers with powerful logging capabilities to better understand and track the behavior of their apps. In this guide, you will find detailed information on how to integrate and utilize DryLogging in your projects.
Key Features
- Flexible and customizable logging options
- Various log levels to represent the severity of log messages
- Support for logging to multiple destinations such as console, file, or remote servers
- Ability to filter and suppress logs based on specified criteria
- Log formatting options to suit your preferences and requirements
- Thread-safe logging operations for multi-threaded applications
Installation and Integration
To begin utilizing DryLogging in your projects, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Installing DryLogging
- Open your project in Xcode
- Navigate to your target’s settings
- Select the “General” tab
- Scroll down to the “Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content” section
- Click on the “+” button
- Search for “DryLogging”
- Choose the appropriate version and click “Add”
Step 2: Importing DryLogging
In your source code files where you want to use DryLogging, import the necessary header file:
#import <DryLogging/DryLogging.h>
Configuration and Usage
Once you have integrated DryLogging into your project, you can configure and use it as follows:
Configuring Log Levels
DryLogging supports the following log levels, representing different severities of log messages:
- DEBUG
- INFO
- WARNING
- ERROR
- CRITICAL
To set the log level, use the following code:
[DLLogger setLogLevel:DLLogLevelDEBUG];
Logging Messages to Console
You can easily log messages to the console using the following method:
DLLogDebug(@"Debug message");
Logging Messages to a File
DryLogging allows you to log messages to a file. To do so, follow these steps:
- Specify the file path where you want to store the logs
- Enable file logging using the following code:
[DLLogger enableFileLoggingWithPath:@"/path/to/log.txt"];
Filtering and Suppressing Logs
DryLogging provides options to filter and suppress logs based on specific criteria. Use the following methods to achieve this:
[DLLogger setFilterBlock:^BOOL(DLLogLevel level, NSString * _Nullable tag, NSString * _Nullable message) {
// Implement your custom filtering logic here
return YES;
}];
[DLLogger setSuppressionBlock:^BOOL(DLLogLevel level, NSString * _Nullable tag, NSString * _Nullable message) {
// Implement your custom suppression logic here
return NO;
}];
Formatting Log Messages
If you want to format log messages, you can use format blocks. Define your format block as shown below:
[DLLogger setFormatBlock:^NSString * _Nonnull(DLLogLevel level, NSString * _Nullable tag, NSString * _Nullable message) {
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"[%@][%@]: %@", [DLLogger stringForLogLevel:level], tag, message];
}];
Thread Safety
DryLogging ensures thread safety during logging operations. You can safely log messages from multiple threads without encountering race conditions.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully integrated and configured DryLogging in your iOS or macOS application. You can now utilize its powerful logging capabilities to gain better insights into your app’s behavior and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
