Detailed Description

Builder class for constructing and composing loggers with traits.

LoggerBuilder provides a fluent interface for creating loggers with custom behavior. Loggers are created using factory functions in the Loggers namespace, then composed with traits using the pipe operator (|).

The builder uses the pipe operator for readability and to allow chaining multiple trait applications. Once all traits are applied, call build() to obtain the final logger instance.

LoggerTraits namespace for available traits

Usage Examples:

// Simple file logger
auto logger1 = Loggers::toFile("debug.log").build();
 
// File logger with Pretty formatting
auto logger2 = (Loggers::toFile("debug.log") | LoggerTraits::Pretty).build();
 
// File logger with Pretty formatting and timestamps
auto logger3 = (Loggers::toFile("debug.log") 
                | LoggerTraits::Pretty 
                | LoggerTraits::Timestamp).build();
 
// Logger that ignores parser messages
auto logger4 = (Loggers::toFile("engine.log") 
                | LoggerTraits::IgnoreParser).build();

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LoggerBuilder() [1/2]

UCILoader::LoggerBuilder::LoggerBuilder

(

std::unique_ptr< Logger > &&

base

)

Construct a LoggerBuilder with a base logger.

Parameters

base	The base logger instance

LoggerBuilder() [2/2]

UCILoader::LoggerBuilder::LoggerBuilder

(

LoggerBuilder &&

Member Function Documentation

addTrait()

LoggerBuilder & UCILoader::LoggerBuilder::addTrait

(

const LoggerTrait &

trait

)

Add a trait to customize the logger behavior.

This method applies a trait by wrapping the current logger. Traits are applied in the order they are added.

Parameters

trait

The trait to add

Returns

Reference to this builder for method chaining

build()

std::unique_ptr< Logger > UCILoader::LoggerBuilder::build

(

)

Build and return the final logger instance.

Returns

A unique_ptr to the fully configured Logger

operator|

LoggerBuilder operator| ( LoggerBuilder  builder, const LoggerTrait &  trait  )

friend

Operator overload for applying traits using pipe operator.

This allows fluent syntax using the | operator:

auto logger = Loggers::toFile("log.txt") | LoggerTraits::Pretty;

Parameters

builder	The logger builder
trait	The trait to apply

Returns

The modified builder
