logging.nvim

A very simple and asynchronous logging library for Neovim plugins.

LuaRocks

Important

This logging library needs at least Neovim >= 0.9.

Installation

rocks.nvim

You can install logging.nvim through the following command:

:Rocks install logging.nvim

Although that is only if you are a plugin developer and you are working with the library. If you are a user, you won't have to worry about installing logging.nvim yourself :)

lazy.nvim

return {
    "NTBBloodbath/logging.nvim"
}

packer.nvim

use "NTBBloodbath/logging.nvim"

Usage

Using logging.nvim is very simple. The library is managed by instances of the Logger class.

Creating a new instance of the logger is as simple as:

local logger = require("logging"):new({
   level_name = "debug",
   plugin_name = "my_plugin",
   save_logs = true,
})

And start using said instance to send your logs using logger:level_name("foo")!

Also, the logger:debug(foo) logs are verbose for a better experience during the development of your plugins ;)

Important

You can see all the documentation for logging.nvim with :h logging

Default configuration

The default configuration of logging.nvim is as follows:

  • log_level: "info"
  • plugin_name: ""
  • save_logs: true

The defaults are very healthy for production, you will only have to set the name of your plugin! :D
