Write Log Message

Block Information

Available in: Page Flow and Cloud Flow

Toolbox Category: Action - Log

Block Type: Regular

The Write Log Message block is available in Page Flow and Cloud Flow and operates in similar ways with some minor differences.

In Page Flow this block allows you to write messages into the browser's web console log, whereas in Cloud Flow it writes a message into the Zingy's cloud logs, which can be accessed from the Cloud Flow tab in the App Editor.

Write Log Message block

The block consists of the following:

• Message: a Value Parameter that accepts a text value for the message you want to log.

• Category: a Value Parameter that accepts a text value that specifies the category of the message. This is useful for filtering out messages when conducting a post-mortem or debugging.

• Level: a Value Parameter that accepts a numeric value specifying the severity level of the message. This is only supported in Cloud Flow and is useful for further filtering out messages when conducting a post-mortem or debugging.

Usage Example

The example below shows the Write Log Message block used when the a button is clicked. The message "The button was clicked" is written to the log.

Example of Write Log Message block

For the Category value parameter, we use the Log Category block with the INFO category selected.

Note: You can provide your own categories and do not have to use the Log Category block.

This would produce a message similar to the one below:

[LOG(info) 08/09/2023 16:49:01.760] The button was clicked
