## Formatted-callback-sink
Create a callback sink from a `RecordFormatter` and a string callback. This is the low-level text-delivery constructor for integrations that already have custom record-to-string formatting logic and want the final rendered text in a callback.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn formatted_callback_sink(
formatter : RecordFormatter,
callback : (String) -> Unit,
) -> FormattedCallbackSink {
```
#### input
- `formatter : RecordFormatter` - Function used to render each record into a final string.
- `callback : (String) -> Unit` - Function receiving the rendered string.
#### output
- `FormattedCallbackSink` - Callback sink that forwards formatter output as text.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- This helper stores both the provided formatter and callback directly inside the sink.
- The callback receives exactly the string returned by the formatter.
- It is lower-level than `text_callback_sink(...)` because it works with arbitrary `RecordFormatter` functions instead of `TextFormatter` values.
- Use it when formatting logic is already expressed as code rather than formatter configuration data.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Custom Rendered Text In A Callback Integration
When an adapter should receive a hand-formatted line instead of a structured record:
```moonbit
let formatter : RecordFormatter = fn(rec) { "[" + rec.level.label() + "] " + rec.message }
let sink = formatted_callback_sink(formatter, fn(line) { println(line) })
```
In this example, the callback receives exactly the custom rendered text.
#### When Already Working With Shared RecordFormatter Values
When formatter creation already happened elsewhere and should be reused directly:
```moonbit
fn make_sink(formatter : RecordFormatter) -> FormattedCallbackSink {
formatted_callback_sink(formatter, fn(line) { println(line) })
}
```
In this example, the low-level sink constructor keeps the integration in terms of formatter functions and final text callbacks.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If structured field access is required inside the callback, `callback_sink(...)` is the better API because it forwards full `Record` values.
- If a configurable text formatting policy is preferred over a code-defined function, `text_callback_sink(...)` is usually the better API.
### Notes
1. Use this helper when the formatter is already a `RecordFormatter` and the destination expects final text.
2. Use `text_callback_sink(...)` when the source formatting policy is a `TextFormatter` value.
