Detailed Description

Abstract base class for logger traits that customize logger behavior.

The LoggerTrait mechanism provides a flexible way to add functionality to loggers using the decorator pattern. Traits can be composed together to apply multiple behaviors to a single logger.

Common use cases:

• Adding timestamps to log messages (Timestamp trait)
• Formatting messages for readability (Pretty trait)
• Filtering messages by direction (IgnoreParser, IgnoreEngine, IgnoreApplication traits)

See also

LoggerBuilder for how to apply traits

LoggerTraits namespace for built-in trait implementations

Example usage with LoggerBuilder:

// Create a file logger with Pretty formatting and timestamps
auto logger = Loggers::toFile("engine.log") | LoggerTraits::Pretty | LoggerTraits::Timestamp;

addTo()

virtual std::unique_ptr< Logger > UCILoader::LoggerTrait::addTo ( std::unique_ptr< Logger > &&  logger ) const

pure virtual

Apply this trait to a logger by wrapping it.

Implementations should create a wrapper that applies the trait's behavior to the provided logger.

Parameters

logger

The logger to apply this trait to

Returns

A new logger with this trait applied
