Log Conext Displayed with Log Calls

[craftyshaun]

When Ray returns log calls it would be nice to get the additional context

For example when ray reacts to the following in laravel \Log::info('A Message','['context_1'=>true,'context_2'=>'A String']); all that is retuned is 'A Message' along with the priority.

It would be nice if the content was dumped along with the message as the context usually holds important information about the error

From my look at the code, this will require changes to \Spatie\Ray\Payloads\ApplicationLogPayload to accept context as well as a message

Good suggestion. I'll take a look at this soon. If you want to speed things up, you could already submit a PR that adds support for this.

Thanks, I had a quick look to try and work it out. But if you think it can be done by just editing the laravel-ray package or the ray package then I might try if I have time. I'll have to see how the Payloads work. Is there any doco or should I just explore other payloads?

hi @craftyshaun, are you working on it?

[craftyshaun]

Nope. I believe it needs changes to the desktop app because it hands back an application_log payload for the desktop app to render.

The other way is to just make additional ray() calls looping over the context of the log event. I think that the change to ray desktop would be better then you could provide the key of the context entry and then the item with the correct renderer (ef JSON, Cabon).

The other option is to use the HTML payload and just render something ourself but I believe @freekmurze would want to keep the presentation in the desktop app rather than crafting it in the ray or laravel-ray package

@freekmurze may be able to provide some input.

I prefer the first solution instead of HTML payload. We send this:

         return [
            'value' => $this->message,
            'level' => $this->level,
            'context' => $this->context,
         ];

And the new values ​​must be displayed in the UI.

[craftyshaun]

It all depends on the render function of the app. It looks like most of the render logic is in the ray package.

Freek will have to provide guidance as the app is closed source.

Yes, i know it
