Log messages

Adds a logging message to the log. Keeps the log as a maximum of 1000 rows. Based on an idea by Levi Baruch.

Usage

logger(label = "", contents = list(), logpath = NULL)

Arguments

label

a string with the context (e.g.,module name)

contents

a named list of the log contents

logpath

an optional file path to save the log in

Value

called for side effects of writing to log, returns logpath

Examples

logpath <- tempfile(fileext = ".log")
logger("test", list(x = 1), logpath)
lastlog()
#> $label
#> [1] "test"
#> 
#> $dt
#> [1] "2026-11-10 21:51:55"
#> 
#> $msg
#> [1] "hi again"
#>
