## Library-async-logger-error
Enqueue an error-level record through the library-facing async logger. This is the convenience wrapper for `log(Level::Error, ...)` on `LibraryAsyncLogger[S]`.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub async fn[S] LibraryAsyncLogger::error(
self : LibraryAsyncLogger[S],
message : String,
fields~ : Array[@bitlogger.Field] = [],
) -> Unit {
```
#### input
- `self : LibraryAsyncLogger[S]` - Library-facing async logger that should receive the error record.
- `message : String` - Error message text.
- `fields : Array[@bitlogger.Field]` - Optional structured fields added to the record.
#### output
- `Unit` - No return value. The record is handled according to logger state and policy.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- This helper delegates to `error(...)` on the wrapped async logger, which in turn uses `log(Level::Error, ...)`.
- The record is still subject to min-level gating, stored shared context fields, patching, filtering, and overflow policy.
- This helper does not accept a per-call target override. It uses the facade's stored target unless the facade was derived earlier with `with_target(...)` or `child(...)`.
- Error records represent the highest built-in severity in this async facade API.
- Use this helper when a named error call is clearer than a raw `log(...)` call.
- Async state helpers remain on the underlying `AsyncLogger[S]` and require `to_async_logger()` first.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Async Failure Reporting In A Library Boundary
When an operation should emit a high-severity failure event:
```moonbit
logger.error("worker execution failed")
```
In this example, failure intent is explicit at the call site.
#### When Attach Structured Error Context
When an error event should include diagnostic fields:
```moonbit
logger.error(
"dispatch failed",
fields=[@bitlogger.field("job_id", "42")],
)
```
In this example, the error record carries structured context without falling back to the generic `log(...)` form.
And any shared context fields already stored on the facade are still prepended before these per-call fields.
And the write still uses the facade's stored target because this shortcut does not take a one-off `target=` override.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the logger is closed or overflow policy prevents acceptance, even an error-level record may not become a normal queued record.
- If the logger minimum level is above `Error`, the helper still follows the same level gate, although that usually requires a custom higher threshold outside the common built-in levels.
- If callers need to inspect worker failure rather than emit an error record, `has_failed()` and `last_error()` are the relevant APIs on the full async logger.
- If callers need a per-call target override, they should use `log(...)` instead of this fixed-level shortcut.
### Notes
1. Use this helper for high-severity async application failures.
2. Emitting an error record is separate from the logger worker itself entering failure state.
3. Use `to_async_logger()` first when later code needs queue or failure inspection rather than another write shortcut.
