## Parse-and-build-logger
Parse a JSON logger definition and build a ready-to-use `ConfiguredLogger`. This is the most direct API when configuration is loaded from files, environment-derived JSON, or external settings systems.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn parse_and_build_logger(input : String) -> ConfiguredLogger raise ConfigError {}
```
#### input
- `input : String` - JSON text following the supported `LoggerConfig` schema.
#### output
- `ConfiguredLogger` - A runtime logger with normal logging methods plus queue/file control helpers.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- Parsing and building are done in one step, which is useful when you do not need to inspect the intermediate `LoggerConfig`.
- The returned `ConfiguredLogger` is just `Logger[RuntimeSink]`, so it still supports regular logging calls.
- Queue wrapping and file control helpers remain available after config assembly.
- Errors are surfaced as `ConfigError` rather than silent fallback.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Load Logger From JSON Text
When configuration comes from a file, environment variable, or settings service:
```moonbit
let logger = parse_and_build_logger(
"{\"min_level\":\"info\",\"target\":\"api\",\"sink\":{\"kind\":\"text_console\"}}",
) catch {
err => {
ignore(err)
return
}
}
```
In this example, config parsing and logger construction happen in one place.
And the resulting value can immediately emit logs.
#### When Need Config-built File Or Queue Controls
When the sink shape is chosen by config but runtime introspection is still required:
```moonbit
let logger = parse_and_build_logger(raw) catch {
err => return
}
ignore(logger.pending_count())
ignore(logger.file_runtime_state())
```
In this example, the configured runtime surface is still operational after building.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If `input` is not valid JSON, a `ConfigError` is raised.
- If supported keys have wrong types or unsupported enum text, a `ConfigError` is raised.
### Notes
Notes are here.
1. Use `parse_logger_config_text(...)` first if you want to validate and inspect config separately.
2. Prefer this API for app bootstrapping paths that read config once and then construct the runtime logger.
3. `ConfiguredLogger` keeps queue and file helper methods, so config-driven logging does not lose control surface.
4. Keep the JSON schema limited to supported built-in sink shapes when designing external config files.
