# BitLogger

BitLogger is a minimal structured logger for MoonBit.

BitLogger 是一个使用 MoonBit 编写的结构化日志库.

## Features / 特性

- structured logging with levels, targets, and key-value fields
- 支持 level、target 与结构化字段的基础日志能力
- composable sinks, filters, patches, and queue wrappers
- 支持 sink、filter、patch、queue 包装等组合能力
- configurable text formatting with template and style tags
- 支持 template、style tag 与彩色输出的文本格式化能力
- config-driven logger assembly and JSON export / parse helpers
- 支持配置驱动组装以及 JSON 解析 / 导出能力
- native file sink support with rotation and runtime observability
- 支持 native file sink、基础 rotation 与运行时可观测性

## Example / 示例

```moonbit
test {
  let logger = build_logger(
    text_console(
      min_level=Level::Debug,
      target="demo",
      text_formatter=TextFormatterConfig::new(show_timestamp=false, separator=" | "),
    ),
  )
  logger.info("starting", fields=[field("port", "8080")])
  ignore(logger.flush())
}
```

Recommended sync path / 推荐同步起步路径:

- start with `console(...)`, `json_console(...)`, `text_console(...)`, or `file(...)`
- 先用这些 presets 组装 `LoggerConfig`
- then apply small config helpers such as `with_queue(...)` or `with_file_rotation(...)`
- 再按需叠加 `with_queue(...)` / `with_file_rotation(...)`
- finally call `build_logger(...)` to get the runtime logger
- 最后交给 `build_logger(...)` 构建运行时 logger

Use `Logger::new(...)` instead when you need direct sink composition such as `fanout_sink(...)`, `split_by_level(...)`, `callback_sink(...)`, or custom patch/filter graphs.

如果你需要 `fanout_sink(...)`、`split_by_level(...)`、`callback_sink(...)` 或更自由的 patch/filter 组合，再改用 `Logger::new(...)` 直接拼装运行时 sink 图。

Project command note / 项目命令说明:

- use `moon check` / `moon test` for local project verification
- 本地项目校验请使用 `moon check` / `moon test`
- `.mbt.md` literate docs still use MoonBit's document-test conventions internally
- `.mbt.md` 文档内部仍沿用 MoonBit 的文档测试约定

## Notes / 说明

- This README is intentionally minimal and no longer acts as a full API catalog.
- 当前 README 仅保留 package 定位、关键特性与最小示例，不再承担完整 API 手册职责。
- Detailed API docs now live under `docs/api/` one interface per file.
- 详细 API 已迁移到 `docs/api/`，按“一接口一文件”维护。
