I am trying to write custom logger , as I am tired of writing Logger.xyz() and then interpolate and inspect some variable.
Trying to achieve
- pass any number of variable to the macro
- macro prints name of variable and its value
why -
- tired of writing and passing tuples
- tired of inspect var
- cant find var name
- i am aware of binding but dont know how to use it here
ex:
def some_func(x, y) do
z = func(x, y)
m = funx2(y, z)
if(m, do: :ok, else: log_error("error happend by", x, y, m, z))
end
so it prints
error happend by, x: value of x, y: value of y, m: value of m, z: value of z
my custom logger WIP
defmacro log_error(data) do
quote do
require Logger
caller_module = unquote(__CALLER__.module)
caller_function = unquote(__CALLER__.function)
Logger.error(
"[#{caller_module}][#{inspect(caller_function)}]: Error: [[#{inspect(unquote(data))}]]"
)
end
end

That’s not supported in
Elixirat all. The only exceptions here are special forms, but they are not written inElixir. However you can pass a list of variables instead.Here is an example script:
prints:
Please keep in mind you have to pass all variables directly.

How can we create a generalized, all scenario one?
should I just pattern match? or use guards?

you can look at how stream_data does it:

For this specific problem I’d recommend solving it with an editor snippet instead of an in-project macro. I have a snippet that does a Logger.info and inspects the variable that I’m interested in.

You can use binding/1 to get the variables from a context and then inspect them. That’s how I solved interpolation in GitHub - elixir-dbvisor/sql: SQL provides state-of-the-art, high-performance SQL integration for Elixir, built to handle extreme concurrency with unmatched expressiveness and ergonomic query composition. Write safe, composable, parameterized queries directly, without translating to Ecto or any ORM. · GitHub
