The LXConsoleEndpoint writes Log Entries to the console (stdout).

The Console Endpoint is safe to be used in environments featuring concurrency, and may or may not perform work asynchronously depending on its initialization parameters. Please see below.

Usage

Initializers

The following initializers are available for LXConsoleEndpoint:

init(synchronous: minimumPriorityLevel: dateFormatter: entryFormatter: )

Parameters

synchronous Type: Bool
Default: true
Specifies whether synchronous writing is desired
minimumPriorityLevel Type: LXPriorityLevel
Default: .All
The minimum Priority Level a Log Entry must meet to be accepted by this Endpoint
dateFormatter Type: LXDateFormatter
Default: .standardFormatter()
The formatter used by this Endpoint to serialize a Log Entry’s dateTime property to a string
entryFormatter Type: LXEntryFormatter
Default: .standardFormatter()
The formatter used by this Endpoint to serialize each Log Entry to a string

If synchronous behavior is selected, the application will wait for each Log Entry to be printed to the console before continuing execution. This behavior is very helpful when debugging, but may reduce performance compared to the asynchronous behavior.

If asynchronous behavior is selected, Log Entries are not guaranteed to be printed before execution continues. This behavior can significantly improve performance, especially in environments featuring concurrency. However, an application making a logging call directly before crashing may crash before the Entry has a chance to be printed. While debugging an application, it is recommended to specify the synchronous behavior.

Returns an initialized Console Endpoint instance.
