<a name="ScalaAPI"></a>
<div class="section">
<h3><a name="Scala_API"></a>Scala API</h3>
<p>
Log4j 2 has a companion Log4j Scala project that contains a convenient Scala wrapper for the
<a href="../log4j-api/apidocs/org/apache/logging/log4j/Logger.html" class="javadoc">Logger</a>
API.
</p>
<div class="section">
<h4><a name="Requirements"></a>Requirements</h4>
<p>
Log4j 2 Scala API is dependent on the Log4j 2 API, Scala runtime library and reflection.
It currently supports Scala 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12. See <a href="../maven-artifacts.html#Scala_API">instructions</a>
on including this in an SBT, Maven, Ivy, or Gradle project.
</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h4><a name="Example"></a>Example</h4>
<div>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
import org.apache.logging.log4j.scala.Logging
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Level
class MyClass extends BaseClass with Logging {
def doStuff(): Unit = {
logger.info(&quot;Doing stuff&quot;)
}
def doStuffWithLevel(level: Level): Unit = {
logger(level, &quot;Doing stuff with arbitrary level&quot;)
}
}
</pre></div>
<p>
The output from the call to logger.info() will vary significantly depending on the configuration
used. See the
<a href="./configuration.html">Configuration</a>
section for more details.
</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h4><a name="Substituting_Parameters"></a>Substituting Parameters</h4>
<p>
Frequently the purpose of logging is to provide information about what is happening in the system,
which requires including information about the objects being manipulated. In Scala, you can use
<a class="externalLink" href="http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/string-interpolation.html">string interpolation
</a>
to achieve this:
</p>
<div>
<pre class="prettyprint">
logger.debug(s&quot;Logging in user ${user.getName} with birthday ${user.calcBirthday}&quot;)
</pre></div>
<p>
Since the Scala Logger is implemented with macros, the String construction and method invocations
will only occur when debug logging is enabled.
</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h4><a name="Logger_Names"></a>Logger Names</h4>
<p>
Most logging implementations use a hierarchical scheme for matching logger names with logging
configuration. In this scheme the logger name hierarchy is represented by '.' characters in the
logger name, in a fashion very similar to the hierarchy used for Java/Scala package names.
The Logging trait will automatically name the Logger accordingly to the class it is being used in.
</p>
<p>Please see the <a class="externalLink" href="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/scala/index.html">Log4j Scala</a> project for more details.</p>
