NAME

    Log::Any::Plugin - Adapter-modifying plugins for Log::Any

VERSION

    version 0.005

SYNOPSIS

        use Log::Any::Adapter;
        use Log::Any::Plugin;
    
        # Create your adapter as normal
        Log::Any::Adapter->set( 'SomeAdapter' );
    
        # Add plugin to modify its behaviour
        Log::Any::Plugin->add( 'Stringify' );
    
        # Multiple plugins may be used together
        Log::Any::Plugin->add( 'Levels', level => 'debug' );

DESCRIPTION

    Log::Any::Plugin is a method for augmenting arbitrary instances of
    Log::Any::Adapters.

    Log::Any::Plugins work much in the same manner as Moose 'around'
    modifiers to augment logging behaviour of pre-existing adapters.

MOTIVATION

    Many of the Log::Any::Adapters have extended functionality, such as
    being able to selectively disable various log levels, or to handle
    multiple arguments.

    In order for Log::Any to be truly 'any', only the common subset of
    adapter functionality can be used. Any specific adapter functionality
    must be avoided if there is a possibility of using a different adapter
    at a later date.

    Log::Any::Plugins provide a method to augment adapters with missing
    functionality so that a superset of adapter functionality can be used.

METHODS

 add ( $plugin, [ %plugin_args ] )

    This is the single method for adding plugins to adapters. It works in a
    similar function to Log::Any::Adapter->set()

      * $plugin

      The plugin class to add to the currently active adapter. If the class
      is in the Log::Any::Plugin:: namespace, you can simply specify the
      name, otherwise prefix a '+'.

          eg. '+My::Plugin::Class'

      * %plugin_args

      These are plugin specific arguments. See the individual plugin
      documentation for what options are supported.
