Logs

By default, logs are disabled.

Using the Stream Chat SDK is straightforward, and you should have something running very quickly. If you like, you can view the logging provided by the SDK. When logging is enabled, we print most log messages to the console from information, warnings and errors. This also includes logs provided by the Stream Chat API.

Enable Logging​

You can enable logs by setting the logLevel.

import StreamChat

LogConfig.level = .info

We have four different logLevel's available.

  • .info (This will provide all the information logs to the console).
  • .debug (This is unfiltered and will show ALL logs).
  • .warning (This will surface all warnings to the console).
  • .error (This will surface all error logs).

Customizing Logs​

By default, the logs will provide basic text to your console. Still, in the SDK, we have functionality that enables you to provide custom Emoji's to identify logs coming from the SDK quickly.

LogConfig.formatters = [
    PrefixLogFormatter(prefixes: [.info: "ℹ️", .debug: "🛠", .warning: "⚠️", .error: "🚨"])
]

Setting a LogConfig.formatter will enable Emoji's to be placed before every log message.

It's also possible to go one step further and hide certain parts of the log messages that you require.

LogConfig.showThreadName = false
LogConfig.showDate = false
LogConfig.showFunctionName = false

Here, you're hiding the threadName, date and functionName.
