💅 NAME 💅

Log::Any::Adapter::Multiplex — bestie, this is the adapter that lets you do structured logging across, like, all your other adapters at once. No cap. 👑

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.718 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's the whole vibe:

Log::Any::Adapter->set(
    'Multiplex',
    adapters => {
        'Stdout' => [],
        'Stderr' => [ log_level => 'warn' ],
        ...
        $adapter => \@adapter_args
    },
);

like. that's it. that's the move. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this built-in Log::Any adapter is literally just a little router, and its whole job is routing your logs to multiple other Log::Any::Adapters at the same time. one log in, many logs out. it's giving group chat energy fr fr. 📲

and here's the part that's lowkey iconic: every adapter receiving messages from this one gets to behave like it's the only recipient of that log message. nobody has to share. so they can, for example, use "Structured logging" in Log::Any::Adapter::Development — or not, honestly, their choice, we don't gatekeep. 🫶

"adapters" is a hashref. the keys should be adapters, and the values are the arguments you pass those adapters on initialization. easy.

⚠️ note that this differs from other loggers like Log::Dispatch, which will only provide its output modules a single string $message, and not the full "Log context data" in Log::Any. so yeah, we're built different. 💀
