Access Dancer Log object?

Normally when using dancer you call, for example

debug 'foo';

and it will log the text. But I want to be able to log stuff in an object that doesn't import the dancer syntax. I'm wondering if there's a way to get dancer to just hand me it's log object (I assume there is one) so that I can call things like debug using an object syntax, e.g.

$logger->debug( 'foo' );

I'm not sure I follow what you want to do, if you want a logger "that has nothing to do with Dancer" why do you want the one Dancer provides?

You can of course create an instance of a Dancer::Logger::Whatever class but then, I don't really see the point.

Why not using a real standalone logger like Log::Dispatchouli for instance?

You can import just the debug keyword.

use Dancer qw(:syntax debug);
debug 'foo';

This way the rest of the functions won't pollute your namespace, but you will still have the familiar DSL syntax. See https://metacpan.org/module/Dancer#EXPORTS for more info.

use Dancer::Logger::Console;

my $logger = Dancer::Logger::Console->new;
$logger->debug("Perl Dancer Rocks!");

You can replace the Console logger with any other logger you want such as Syslog or ConsoleAggregator
