Format a log message with glue and ANSI escape codes to add colors

Colour log levels based on their severity. Log levels are coloured with colorize_by_log_level() and the messages are coloured with grayscale_by_log_level().

Usage

layout_glue_colors(
  level,
  msg,
  namespace = NA_character_,
  .logcall = sys.call(),
  .topcall = sys.call(-1),
  .topenv = parent.frame()
)

Arguments

level

log level, see log_levels() for more details

msg

string message

namespace

string referring to the logger environment / config to be used to override the target of the message record to be used instead of the default namespace, which is defined by the R package name from which the logger was called, and falls back to a common, global namespace.

.logcall

the logging call being evaluated (useful in formatters and layouts when you want to have access to the raw, unevaluated R expression)

.topcall

R expression from which the logging function was called (useful in formatters and layouts to extract the calling function's name or arguments)

.topenv

original frame of the .topcall calling function where the formatter function will be evaluated and that is used to look up the namespace as well via logger:::top_env_name

Value

character vector

Note

This functionality depends on the crayon package.
