## Installation

``` bash
pip install logging_slacker
```

## Arguments
- slack_token (str): The Slack API token if not using `webhook_url`
  Generate a key at <https://api.slack.com/>
- channel (str): The Slack channel to post to if not using `webhook_url`
- webhook_url (str): The Slack webhook URL if using `webhook_url`
- is_webhook (bool): Whether to use webhook_url or not (Defaults to `True`)
- is_debug (bool): Doesn't send Slack messages if True (Defaults to `False`)
- stack_trace (bool): Whether to include the stacktrace in the Slack message (Defaults to `True`)
- username (str): The username to use for the Slack message (Not usable if using `webhook_url`)
- icon_url (str): The icon URL to use for the Slack message (Not usable if using `webhook_url`)
- icon_emoji (str): The icon emoji to use for the Slack message (Not usable if using `webhook_url`)
- msg_len (int): The maximum length of the Slack message (Defaults to `1300`)
- traceback_len (int): The maximum length of the stack_trace (Defaults to `700`)
- fail_silent (bool): Whether to fail silently if the Slack API returns an error (Defaults to `False`)
  Defaults to `False`. If your API key is invalid or for some other reason
  the API call returns an error, this option will silently ignore the API
  error. If you enable this setting, **make sure you have another log
  handler** that will also handle the same log events, or they may be lost
  entirely.

## Example Python logging handler

This is how you use log_to_slack as a regular Python
logging handler. This example will send a error message to a slack
channel.

``` python
import logging
import os

from log_to_slack import SlackLogHandler
from log_to_slack.formatters import NoStacktraceFormatter, DefaultFormatter

WEBHOOK_URL = os.getenv("WEBHOOK_URL")

logger = logging.getLogger("debug_application")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

default_formatter = DefaultFormatter("%(levelprefix)s %(asctime)s (%(name)s) %(message)s")
no_stacktrace_formatter = NoStacktraceFormatter("%(levelprefix)s %(asctime)s (%(name)s) %(message)s")

default_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
default_handler.setFormatter(default_formatter)
logger.addHandler(default_handler)

slack_handler = SlackLogHandler(webhook_url=WEBHOOK_URL, stack_trace=True)
slack_handler.setFormatter(no_stacktrace_formatter)
slack_handler.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
logger.addHandler(slack_handler)

# Main code
logger.debug("Test DEBUG")
logger.info("Test INFO")
logger.warning("Test WARNING")
logger.error("Test ERROR")
logger.fatal("Test FATAL")
logger.critical("Test CRITICAL")

try:
    raise Exception("Test exception")
except Exception as e:
    logger.exception(e)

```

## Slack message formatting

This example use a subclass that will send a formatted message to a
Slack channel. [Learn More](https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting)

``` python
class CustomLogHandler(SlackLogHandler):
    def build_msg(self, record):
        message = "> New message :\n" + record.getMessage()
        return message
```
