Conditionally disable Logcraft w/ Rails

[kavinphan]

In a Rails project, is there a way to disable Logcraft conditionally? Would love to use Logcraft in prod environments, but for local development I'd prefer the default Rails logger.

No, not really. To be honest, I haven't considered wanting to see different logs in development and production so there isn't an easy mechanism for switching. You would basically have to revert the setup that's in the railtie.rb.

Do you want to switch because of the readability or are you missing data (e.g. view render time)? If it's just about the format then you can use the logcraft.layout_options.formatter configuration option to output nicer looking messages specifically in the development environment.

It was mainly for readability, but I ended up doing what you suggested and formatted the logs to look about the same. Also needed to mute the SQL SCHEMA events-- those don't seem to appear in Rails's default logging. Thanks!

@kphan32 could you please share your formatter? Thank you!

    def background_of(event)
      super.slice(*context_filter)
    end

    def context_filter
      @context_filter ||= case Rails.env
                          when "production", "staging"
                            %w[timestamp level dd]
                          when "development", "test"
                            %w[level]
                          end
    end
  end
end
