Introduction to Dir-Logger

Dir-Logger is a powerful Python library designed to log activities within directories. It offers a suite of useful APIs to interact with the filesystem efficiently. In this comprehensive guide, we provide an in-depth look at various APIs that make Dir-Logger an essential tool for developers. We have included numerous code snippets and an app example to illustrate its capabilities.

API Examples

Initialize Logger

To start using Dir-Logger, you firstly need to initialize a logger object.

  from dir_logger import DirLogger

  logger = DirLogger('/path/to/log')

Log File Creation

Log the creation of a new file within the directory.

  logger.log_creation('file.txt')

Log File Deletion

Log the deletion of a file within the directory.

  logger.log_deletion('file.txt')

Monitor Directory

Set up a monitor to watch changes within the directory.

  logger.monitor()

Log Directory Changes

Log every change made within the directory.

  from dir_logger import log_directory_changes

  log_directory_changes('/path/to/directory')

Custom Log Message

Log a custom message at any point within your application.

  logger.log_message('Custom log message')

App Example

Here is an example application showing how Dir-Logger can be integrated and used to monitor directory changes efficiently.

  import time
  from dir_logger import DirLogger

  def main():
      log_path = '/path/to/log'
      directory_path = '/path/to/monitor'

      # Initialize the logger
      logger = DirLogger(log_path)

      # Start monitoring the directory
      logger.monitor()

      try:
          while True:
              time.sleep(1)
      except KeyboardInterrupt:
          print("Stopping directory monitoring.")

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      main()

Conclusion

Dir-Logger is packed with functionalities that are essential for directory monitoring and logging. Its simple API makes it easy to integrate into any Python application. We hope this guide serves as a valuable resource in getting started with Dir-Logger.
