## Build-async-logger
Build an async logger directly from `AsyncLoggerBuildConfig`. This is the config-driven async entry point that bridges synchronous logger config, sink creation, and async queue setup in one call.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn build_async_logger(config : AsyncLoggerBuildConfig) -> AsyncLogger[@bitlogger.RuntimeSink] {}
```
#### input
- `config : AsyncLoggerBuildConfig` - Combined synchronous logger config plus async queue/flush config.
#### output
- `AsyncLogger[RuntimeSink]` - A config-built async logger with runtime sink control preserved.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- The `logger` section is built through the same config machinery used by synchronous configured loggers.
- The resulting async logger inherits `min_level`, `target`, and timestamp behavior from the built synchronous logger.
- File, queue, and formatter choices all come from config rather than direct code-side sink wiring.
- The returned sink type is `RuntimeSink`, which keeps configured control helpers available where relevant.
- The `src-async` library is designed to compile on `native / llvm / js / wasm / wasm-gc`, but runtime mode differs by backend.
- Current local release-facing verification is explicit for `native / js / wasm / wasm-gc`.
- `llvm` remains experimental and did not complete local verification in this environment.
- On non-native targets, the async library still compiles and exposes the same public surface through compatibility-mode behavior rather than native background-worker semantics.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Fully Config-driven Async Bootstrapping
When your application should build async logging entirely from configuration:
```moonbit
let config = parse_async_logger_build_config_text(raw) catch {
err => return
}
let logger = build_async_logger(config)
```
In this example, parsing and async runtime wiring are separated cleanly.
And the returned logger can immediately be started with `run()`.
#### When Need Runtime Sink Features After Async Build
When the sink shape is configured but runtime features still matter:
```moonbit
let logger = build_async_logger(config)
println(stringify_async_logger_state(logger.state(), pretty=true))
```
In this example, the built async logger remains introspectable even though construction was config-driven.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the config text was invalid, error handling should happen earlier in `parse_async_logger_build_config_text(...)`.
- If the configured sink shape is unsupported for a specific capability, the resulting runtime behavior follows the existing sink/runtime rules rather than inventing a separate builder-only failure model.
### Notes
1. Prefer this API when applications externalize both sync sink choice and async queue behavior.
2. Use `async_logger(...)` directly when you want explicit code-defined sink wiring.
3. Library portability is broader than example portability: a runnable `async fn main` example may still be target-limited even when the async library itself compiles for that backend.
4. See [target-verification.md](./target-verification.md) for the current verification boundary.
