Logging using the Rich handler.

In this file we give an example of a custom handler for our logs.

If you've never heard of rich then you may want to see our video collection on the topic. To use it as a streamhandler you can use the following code.

import logging

from rich.logging import RichHandler

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

# the handler determines where the logs go: stdout/file
shell_handler = RichHandler()
file_handler = logging.FileHandler("debug.log")

logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
shell_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
file_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# the formatter determines what our logs will look like
fmt_shell = '%(message)s'
fmt_file = '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s [%(filename)s:%(funcName)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s'

shell_formatter = logging.Formatter(fmt_shell)
file_formatter = logging.Formatter(fmt_file)

# here we hook everything together
shell_handler.setFormatter(shell_formatter)
file_handler.setFormatter(file_formatter)

logger.addHandler(shell_handler)
logger.addHandler(file_handler)
