Installation

You can use Carthage to install SwiftyBeaver by adding that to your Cartfile:

github "SwiftyBeaver/SwiftyBeaver"

via CocoaPods

To use CocoaPods just add this to your Podfile:

pod 'SwiftyBeaver'

via Swift Package Manager (Swift 2.2)

To use SwiftyBeaver as a Swift Package Manager package just add the following in your Package.swift file.

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
  name: "HelloWorld",
  dependencies: [
    .Package(url: "https://github.com/SwiftyBeaver/SwiftyBeaver.git", majorVersion: 0)
  ]
)

Usage

Add that near the top of your AppDelegate.swift to be able to use SwiftyBeaver in your whole project.

import SwiftyBeaver

let log = SwiftyBeaver.self

At the the beginning of your AppDelegate:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions() add the SwiftyBeaver log destinations (console, file, etc.) and then you can already do the following log level calls globally (colors included):

// add log destinations. at least one is needed!
let console = ConsoleDestination()  // log to Xcode Console
let file = FileDestination()  // log to default swiftybeaver.log file
let cloud = SBPlatformDestination(appID: "foo", appSecret: "bar", encryptionKey: "123") // to cloud
log.addDestination(console)
log.addDestination(file)
log.addDestination(cloud)

// Now let’s log!
log.verbose("not so important")  // prio 1, VERBOSE in silver
log.debug("something to debug")  // prio 2, DEBUG in green
log.info("a nice information")   // prio 3, INFO in blue
log.warning("oh no, that won’t be good")  // prio 4, WARNING in yellow
log.error("ouch, an error did occur!")  // prio 5, ERROR in red

// log anything!
log.verbose(123)
log.info(-123.45678)
log.warning(NSDate())
log.error(["I", "like", "logs!"])
log.error(["name": "Mr Beaver", "address": "7 Beaver Lodge"])
