speaking-apps

speaking-apps allows you to add remote logging facilities to your application. It uses the speakingapps.com API to store and organize your messages. It works for all Ruby projects but was especially designed to be backed into your Rails app.

Caveats: You will need a speakingapps.com account.

Setup

Github Home: github.com/dynamicdudes/speaking-apps/tree/master

Gem:

gem install dynamicdudes-speaking-apps --source http://gems.github.com
$ irb(main):001:0> require 'speaking_apps'

or with Rails >= 2.1:

config.gem "dynamicdudes-speaking-apps", :lib => "speaking_apps", :source => "http://gems.github.com"

Configuration

Just before you start sending messages to the speakingapps.com API you should configure a few essential things:

SpeakingApps::Config.token = 'your_super_secret_token'

If you are on Rails you might want to define which environments should be used for remote logging:

SpeakingApps::Config.environments = [ 'staging', 'production' ]

Usage

speaking-apps gives you two methods for sending messages. A one-liner that takes optional tags:

SpeakingApps.log('hello World')
SpeakingApps.log('hello World', 'tag1', 'tag2', 'tagx')

and a &block taking version for more readability if you have longer messages:

SpeakingApps.log_with_tags('tag1', 'tag2') do
  msg =  'He'
  msg << 'llo '
  msg << 'World'
end
