# woof

A straightforward logging library for Gleam.  
Dedicated to Echo, my dog.

woof gets out of your way: import it, call `info(...)`, and you're done.
Structured fields, namespaces, scoped context, typed events — all there
when you need them, invisible when you don't.

## Install

```sh
gleam add woof
```

## Quick start

```gleam
import woof

pub fn main() {
  woof.info("Server started", [woof.str("host", "0.0.0.0"), woof.int("port", 3000)])
  woof.warning("Cache almost full", [woof.int("usage_pct", 92)])
  woof.error("Connection lost", [woof.str("host", "db-primary")])
}
```

```
[INFO] 10:30:45 Server started
  host: 0.0.0.0
  port: 3000
[WARN] 10:30:46 Cache almost full
  usage_pct: 92
[ERROR] 10:30:47 Connection lost
  host: db-primary
```

No setup, no builder chains, no ceremony.

## Typed fields

Fields carry their original Gleam types through the entire pipeline.
Pattern-match on them in event sinks, assert on them in tests.

```gleam
woof.info("Payment processed", [
  woof.str("order_id", "ORD-42"),
  woof.int("amount_cents", 4999),
  woof.float("tax_rate", 8.5),
  woof.bool("express", True),
])
```

## Testing capture typed events

```gleam
let #(sink, get) = woof.test_sink()
woof.set_sink(woof.silent_sink)
woof.set_event_sink(sink)

process_payment(order_id: "ORD-99", amount: 0)

let assert [event] = get()
event.level   |> should.equal(woof.Error)
event.message |> should.equal("Payment rejected")
event.fields  |> should.equal([
  #("order_id", woof.FString("ORD-99")),
  #("reason",   woof.FString("zero amount")),
])
```

## Production one line

```gleam
pub fn main() {
  woof.set_sink(woof.beam_logger_sink) // routes through OTP logger
  // ... rest of startup
}
```
