## 🚀 Why Choose This?

- **⚡ One Function** - Just `loggerClass.get()`, everything else is automatic
- **🎯 Five Transports** - Console, file, database, HTTP, webhook - all
  auto-detected
- **🔧 Zero Configuration** - Smart defaults with environment variable override
- **🌍 Environment-First** - Auto-detects from `BLOOM_LOGGER_*` variables
- **🎨 Visual Error Display** - Enhanced error formatting in development
- **🤖 AI-Ready** - Optimized for LLM code generation

## 📦 Installation

```bash
npm install @bloomneo/appkit
```

## 🏃‍♂️ Quick Start (30 seconds)

```typescript
import { loggerClass } from '@bloomneo/appkit/logger';

const log = loggerClass.get();
log.info('🚀 App started');
log.error('💥 Something broke', { userId: 123, error: 'timeout' });

// Component logging
const dbLog = loggerClass.get('database');
dbLog.warn('⚠️ Connection slow', { latency: '2s' });
```

**That's it!** No configuration, no setup, production-ready.

## ✨ Auto-Transport Detection

The logger **automatically detects** what you need:

| Environment Variable       | Transport Enabled  | What You Get            |
| -------------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| _Nothing_                  | Console + File     | Development logging     |
| `DATABASE_URL`             | + Database         | Centralized storage     |
| `BLOOM_LOGGER_HTTP_URL`    | + External service | Professional monitoring |
| `BLOOM_LOGGER_WEBHOOK_URL` | + Slack alerts     | Real-time notifications |

**Set environment variables, get enterprise features. No code changes.**

## 🤖 LLM Quick Reference - Copy These Patterns

### **Basic Setup (Copy Exactly)**

```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT - Basic pattern
import { loggerClass } from '@bloomneo/appkit/logger';

const log = loggerClass.get();
const apiLog = loggerClass.get('api');
const dbLog = loggerClass.get('database');

log.info('User registered', { userId: 123, email: 'user@example.com' });
log.error('Database error', { table: 'users', operation: 'INSERT' });
```

### **Framework Patterns (Copy These)**

```typescript
// ✅ EXPRESS - Request logging
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  req.log = loggerClass.get('api').child({ requestId: crypto.randomUUID() });
  req.log.info('Request started');
  next();
});

// ✅ FASTIFY - Hook pattern
fastify.addHook('onRequest', async (request) => {
  request.log = loggerClass
    .get('api')
    .child({ requestId: crypto.randomUUID() });
  request.log.info('Request started');
});

// ✅ NEXT.JS - API routes
export default function handler(req, res) {
  const log = loggerClass.get('api').child({ requestId: crypto.randomUUID() });
  log.info('API request started');
  // Handle request...
}
```

### **Context Logging (Copy These)**

```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT - Child loggers with context
const userLog = log.child({ userId: 123, sessionId: 'abc-123' });
const requestLog = log.child({ requestId: 'req-456', traceId: 'trace-789' });
const jobLog = loggerClass.get('worker').child({ jobId: job.id, attempt: 1 });
```

## ⚠️ Common LLM Mistakes - Avoid These

### **Wrong Usage**

```typescript
// ❌ WRONG - Don't use console.log
console.log('User registered:', user);

// ✅ CORRECT - Use structured logging
log.info('User registered', { userId: user.id, email: user.email });
```

### **Missing Context**

```typescript
// ❌ WRONG - Generic logging
log.info('Operation completed');

// ✅ CORRECT - Rich context
log.info('User registration completed', {
  userId: user.id,
  email: user.email,
  duration: Date.now() - startTime,
});
```

### **Wrong Log Levels**

```typescript
// ❌ WRONG - Wrong levels
log.error('User not found'); // Should be warn
log.debug('Payment failed'); // Should be error

// ✅ CORRECT - Appropriate levels
log.warn('User not found', { userId: id });
log.error('Payment failed', { orderId, error });
log.info('User logged in', { userId });
log.debug('Cache hit', { key, value });
```

### **Sensitive Data**

```typescript
// ❌ WRONG - Logging sensitive data
log.info('User login', { password: user.password });

// ✅ CORRECT - Safe logging
log.info('User login', {
  userId: user.id,
  loginMethod: 'password',
  cardLast4: user.creditCard?.slice(-4),
});
```

## 🚨 Error Handling Patterns

### **Startup Validation**

```typescript
try {
  const log = loggerClass.get();
  log.info('✅ Logging initialized', {
    transports: loggerClass.getActiveTransports(),
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('❌ Logging setup failed:', error.message);
  process.exit(1);
}
```

### **Global Error Handler**

```typescript
process.on('uncaughtException', (error) => {
  loggerClass.get('error').error('🚨 Uncaught exception', {
    error: error.message,
    stack: error.stack,
  });
  process.exit(1);
});
```

### **Service Error Pattern**

```typescript
async function createUser(userData) {
  const log = loggerClass.get('user-service');

  try {
    log.debug('Creating user', { email: userData.email });
    const user = await saveUser(userData);
    log.info('User created', { userId: user.id });
    return user;
  } catch (error) {
    log.error('User creation failed', { error: error.message });
    throw error;
  }
}
```

## 🌍 Environment Variables

### **Basic Configuration**

```bash
# Auto-detected log level
BLOOM_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug|info|warn|error  # Default: auto-detected
BLOOM_LOGGER_SCOPE=minimal|full           # Default: minimal

# Service identification
BLOOM_SERVICE_NAME=my-app                  # Default: package.json name
```

### **Transport Control**

```bash
# Database (auto-enabled if DATABASE_URL exists)
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:pass@localhost/app

# HTTP (Datadog, Elasticsearch, etc.)
BLOOM_LOGGER_HTTP_URL=https://logs.datadog.com/api/v1/logs

# Webhook (Slack alerts)
BLOOM_LOGGER_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxx
BLOOM_LOGGER_WEBHOOK_LEVEL=error         # Default: error only
```

## 🚀 Production Deployment

### **Environment Setup**

```bash
# ✅ Production settings
NODE_ENV=production
BLOOM_LOGGER_SCOPE=minimal
BLOOM_LOGGER_LEVEL=warn

# ✅ Required transports
DATABASE_URL=postgres://prod-user:pass@prod-db/app
BLOOM_LOGGER_HTTP_URL=https://logs.datadog.com/api/v1/logs
BLOOM_LOGGER_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxx
```

### **Security Validation**

```typescript
// ✅ Startup validation
const log = loggerClass.get();
const config = loggerClass.getConfig();

console.log('✅ Logging validation passed');
console.log(`Transports: ${loggerClass.getActiveTransports().join(', ')}`);

if (config.environment === 'production' && config.scope !== 'minimal') {
  console.warn('⚠️ Production should use minimal scope');
}
```

## 📖 Complete API Reference

### **Core Function**

```typescript
const log = loggerClass.get(); // Main logger
const log = loggerClass.get('component'); // Component logger
```

### **Log Methods**

```typescript
log.info(message, meta?);    // Normal events
log.warn(message, meta?);    // Potential issues
log.error(message, meta?);   // Errors (triggers alerts)
log.debug(message, meta?);   // Development info
log.fatal(message, meta?);   // Unrecoverable failures — process about to exit
```

### **Context Methods**

```typescript
log.child(bindings); // Add context
log.flush(); // Ensure written
log.close(); // Close transports
```

### **Utility Methods**

```typescript
loggerClass.getActiveTransports(); // ['console', 'file', 'database']
loggerClass.hasTransport('database'); // true/false
loggerClass.getConfig(); // Debug configuration
await loggerClass.disconnectAll(); // Clear state (testing)
```

## 💡 Simple Examples

### **API Logging**

```typescript
app.post('/users', async (req, res) => {
  const log = loggerClass.get('api').child({ requestId: crypto.randomUUID() });

  try {
    log.info('Creating user', { email: req.body.email });
    const user = await createUser(req.body);
    log.info('User created', { userId: user.id });
    res.json({ user });
  } catch (error) {
    log.error('User creation failed', { error: error.message });
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Failed to create user' });
  }
});
```

### **Background Job**

```typescript
async function processJob(job) {
  const log = loggerClass.get('worker').child({ jobId: job.id });

  log.info('Job started');

  try {
    await processData(job.data);
    log.info('Job completed');
  } catch (error) {
    log.error('Job failed', { error: error.message });
    throw error;
  }
}
```

### **Database Service**

```typescript
class DatabaseService {
  constructor() {
    this.log = loggerClass.get('database');
  }

  async connect() {
    this.log.info('Connecting to database');

    try {
      this.db = await createConnection();
      this.log.info('Database connected');
    } catch (error) {
      this.log.error('Connection failed', { error: error.message });
      throw error;
    }
  }
}
```

## Agent-Dev Friendliness Score

**Score: 82/100 — 🟡 Solid** *(+42 vs previous 40/100 capped; +16 vs previous 66/100 uncapped)*
*Scored 2026-04-14 by Claude · Rubric [`AGENT_DEV_SCORING_ALGORITHM.md`](../../docs/AGENT_DEV_SCORING_ALGORITHM.md) v1.1*

> ✅ **Cap lifted**: Previous round was capped at 40 for hallucinated `gethasTransport`/`getclear` names. Those were fixed, and today's audit re-verified:
> - `src/logger/README.md` — every method reference resolves to a real export.
> - `examples/logger.ts` — rewritten from scratch, runtime-verified with `tsx`, uses only real method names (`get`, `info/warn/error/debug/fatal`, `child`, `flush`, `getActiveTransports`, `hasTransport`, `getConfig`, `clear`).
> - `cookbook/*.ts` — all 5 recipes use `loggerClass.get('component')` + `.info/.warn/.error/.debug` consistently; typecheck clean.
> - `llms.txt` and root `README.md` — aligned with source on 2026-04-14.
>
> No hallucinated methods remain. No anti-pattern caps apply.

| # | Dimension | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---:|---|
| 1 | API correctness | **9** | All 13 methods (5 class + 8 instance) in the README match `src/logger/index.ts` + `src/logger/logger.ts` exactly. `examples/logger.ts` and `cookbook/*.ts` re-verified — every `loggerClass.*` and `log.*` call resolves to a real export. No typos, no drift. +6 vs previous. |
| 2 | Doc consistency | **9** | README, `llms.txt` §Module 12, `AGENTS.md` canonical-pattern block, `examples/logger.ts`, and 5 cookbook files all show the same shape: `const log = loggerClass.get('component'); log.info(msg, meta)`. +4 vs previous. |
| 3 | Runtime verification | **8** | `logger.test.ts` exercises `get()` singleton semantics, all 5 level methods (info/warn/error/debug/fatal), `child()` merge, and `clear()` teardown via `beforeEach`. Imports from real entry point. |
| 4 | Type safety | **7** | `Logger` interface is precise; `flush()`/`close()` are `Promise<void>`. `LogMeta = { [key: string]: any }` is intentionally open (structured-log bag) — acceptable for this domain. |
| 5 | Discoverability | **8** | `package.json` subpath export `@bloomneo/appkit/logger` is canonical. Hero import appears in the first 30 lines of README. One canonical pattern across all docs. +1 vs previous (import-path typo fixed). |
| 6 | Example completeness | **9** | New `examples/logger.ts` covers: `get()` (with and without component), all 5 levels, `child()` with request-scoped bindings, `flush()`, `getActiveTransports()`, `hasTransport()`, `getConfig()`, and `clear()`. Only `close()` is not directly called (it runs inside `clear()`). +2 vs previous. |
| 7 | Composability | **9** | 5 cookbook files (`auth-protected-crud`, `api-key-service`, `file-upload-pipeline`, `multi-tenant-saas`, `real-time-chat`) all wire logger with auth + database + error. Coverage spans CRUD, auth-protected APIs, async workers, tenancy, and real-time — the canonical multi-module compositions. +2 vs previous. |
| 8 | Educational errors | **6** | Transport init errors include module tag (`[@bloomneo/appkit/logger] File transport initialization failed: …`) — names module + failing subsystem, but still no fix pointer or doc link. |
| 9 | Convention enforcement | **9** | Exactly one canonical path: `loggerClass.get('component')` → `.info/warn/error/debug/fatal`. Child scoping via `.child({...})`. Transports are not exposed as alternative construction paths — they auto-wire from env. +1 vs previous. |
| 10 | Drift prevention | **6** | Test asserts method presence by name for every level; any rename would break the suite. No CI gate documented. |
| 11 | Reading order | **5** | README hero is clean and points to API Reference, Environment Variables, and Examples sections. Still no explicit "See also: AGENTS.md · examples/logger.ts" block at the top. +1 vs previous. |
| **12** | **Simplicity** | **9** | 5 class methods + 8 instance methods. Minimum viable use is `loggerClass.get().info('msg')` — one call, one arg. |
| **13** | **Clarity** | **9** | Every name reads as a sentence: `info/warn/error/debug/fatal/child/flush/close/getActiveTransports/hasTransport/getConfig/clear`. No vague verbs. |
| **14** | **Unambiguity** | **7** | `error()` has a documented side effect (visual rendering in dev) not flagged at the call site. Otherwise each method has exactly one mental model. |
| **15** | **Learning curve** | **9** | Fresh dev reaches a working call in ~2 min from the README hero. No required env vars for the default console+file path. |

### Delta vs previous (2026-04-13)

- Previous: **40/100** capped (uncapped 66) — cap for hallucinated `gethasTransport` / `getclear`.
- Current: **82/100** uncapped. **+42 capped / +16 uncapped.**
- Top 3 dimension deltas: D1 API correctness **+6** (3→9), D2 Doc consistency **+4** (5→9), D6 Example completeness **+2** (7→9) and D7 Composability **+2** (7→9).

### Gaps to reach 🟢 85+

1. **D8 → 8**: Transport init failures should log a pointer, e.g. `[@bloomneo/appkit/logger] File transport failed: <reason>. Check BLOOM_LOGGER_FILE_PATH is writable. See src/logger/README.md#transport-control`.
2. **D10 → 9**: Add a CI drift check that greps doc files for `loggerClass.<name>(` and fails if `<name>` is not on the real export.
3. **D11 → 8**: Add an explicit "See also: AGENTS.md · examples/logger.ts · llms.txt" block in the first 20 lines of the README.
4. **D14 → 9**: Call out `error()`'s dev-mode visual side effect at the call-site doc (inline on the `error(message, meta?)` line in API Reference), not only in the "Enhanced error logging" subsection.

**Realistic ceiling:** ~88/100 after the four gaps above. The module is already in the 🟡 Solid band; none of the remaining gaps are structural.
