README

ColourLogger is a powerful, fluent API for coloured logging in PHP applications, leveraging Monolog to enhance readability and focus during development by adding coloured and styled text capabilities to console logging.

Features

• Easy integration with any Laravel application.
• Fluent interface to configure foreground and background colours, as well as text styles such as bold, italic, and underline.
• Built on top of the robust Monolog logging library.
• Support for logging complex data types including arrays and objects, with optional pretty-print JSON formatting.

Installation

Install ColourLogger via Composer:

composer require buzzlightyear/colour-logger

Usage

Here is how you can use ColourLogger in your PHP projects:

use App\Logging\ColourLogger;

// Basic usage
ColourLogger::text('blue')->log('This is a blue text');

// Complex styling
ColourLogger::text('blue')->background('red')->bold()->italic()->underline()->log('This message has red background and blue, bold, italic, underlined text');

// Logging complex data types with pretty-print JSON
ColourLogger::text('green')->json()->log(['key' => 'value', 'another_key' => 'another_value']);

Customize Colours

You can easily customize the colours by accessing the colour_map array within the ColourLogger class. Modify this array to include your preferred ANSI colour codes.
