Logging
Standard logging
The Logger class contains a number of different logs:
class Example {
public ExamplePlugin plugin;
public Example(ExamplePlugin plugin) {
this.plugin = plugin;
}
public void ExampleFunction() {
Logger log = new Logger(new FoundryConfig(this.plugin));
log.info("This is an informational log.");
log.warn("This is a warning.");
log.severe("This is a severe warning.");
log.noConsole(); // This tells the console to go away!
}
}
Outputs:
[00:00:00 INFO]: [EXAMPLE] This is an informational log.
[00:00:00 WARN]: [EXAMPLE] This is an informational log.
[00:00:00 SEVERE]: [EXAMPLE] This is an informational log.
Preset Logs
Certain logs have preset messages;
class Example {
public ExamplePlugin plugin;
public Example(ExamplePlugin plugin) {
this.plugin = plugin;
}
public void ExampleFunction() {
Logger log = new Logger(new FoundryConfig(this.plugin));
log.noConsole(); // This tells the console to go away!
}
}
Outputs:
[00:00:00 WARN]: [EXAMPLE] Sorry, you need to be an in-game player to use this command.
Single Logs
If you only need to output a single line of log, you can do a shorter version. Using the info log as an example:
class Example {
public void ExampleFunction() {
new Logger(new FoundryConfig(this)).info("This is an informational log.");
}
}
That's two lines in one! It works in the same way, but only for one line. If you're outputting more than one line you should create a variable and reference it instead of creating a new instance on each line.
