# Scribe
*📜 Logging all events*
Scribe is a flexible logging library for Swift, designed to make logging easy and efficient. It provides a centralized system for logging messages and events within your application, and supports multiple logging outputs and plugins to extend its capabilities to meet your needs. Scribe integrates with [swift-log](https://github.com/apple/swift-log) for console logging, making it a versatile solution for all your logging requirements.
## Usage
### Creating a ScribePlugin
To create a Scribe plugin, you need to create a struct or class that conforms to the ScribePlugin protocol and implement its requirements. Here is an example of a simple plugin that increments a count for each log:
```swift
class CountPlugin: ScribePlugin {
static let shared = CountPlugin()
var count: Int = 0
private init() {}
func handle(value: Scribe.PluginPayload) async throws {
count += 1
}
}
```
### Registering plugins to Scribe
Once you have created your Scribe Plugin, you just need to register it with your Scribe object. There are two ways to do this:
1. Pass the plugin to the plugins parameter when creating the Scribe object:
```swift
let scribe = Scribe(
label: "test.count",
plugins: [
CountPlugin.shared
]
)
```
2. Call `scribe.register(plugin:)` to add the plugin to an existing Scribe object:
```swift
let scribe = Scribe(label: "test.count")
scribe.register(plugin: CountPlugin.shared)
```
### Logging to Scribe
Scribe uses swift-log for logging, so the functions are similar in usage. To log a message with Scribe, simply call one of the logging functions, such as debug:
```swift
scribe.debug("Test")
```
#### Log Levels
Scribe supports the following log levels:
- `trace`
- `debug`
- `info`
- `notice`
- `warning`
- `error`
- `critical`
Choose the appropriate log level depending on the importance and urgency of the message you are logging.
