Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/mattbedford/ulogger/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
A logging utility for WordPress development.
Installation
Download as a zip and install as a new plugin in your wordpress project (development/staging sites only please).
Usage
The plugin lets you write to logs in 4 different ways.
| Method | Logs to |
|---|---|
| debug | The standard WP debug.log (if enabled in wp-config) |
| file | A text file in the root folder of your installation |
| console | The javascript console in devtools. |
| screen | The screen: exactly as you get with doing print_r |
To use the tool it's really simple. ulogger::[method]([your-stuff-to-log]).
Example usage
-
Write something to the console on page load
add_action('wp_header', function() { ulogger::console("The page has loaded from the server."); }) -
Write a bunch of stuff to our own file
function your_awesome_function($some_variable) {
// This will also produce a note in the console with the file path of the log file.
$var_1 = $some_variable;
$var_2 = ["big", "bad", "wolf"];
ulogger::file($var_1);
ulogger::file($var_2);
ulogger::file("All logged!");}
- Write to the standard WP debug log file
```php
add_action("init", "JustTesting");
function JustTesting() {
$var = [1,2,3,4,5];
ulogger::debug($var);
}
-
Print stuff on the screen
ulogger::screen('This is like doing a <pre> + print_r + </pre>');
