Active Storage silent logger

The idea of this gem is to hide as much as possible Active Storage logs from console so you can see only important information and requests. So ...

Do you like logs like:

Started GET "/rails/active_storage/disk/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaEpJaDExUkhSelFuaHpNbVJyV1dsNFVsaGpaMXBTYVV0YWNGUUdPZ1pGVkE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMTgtMDgtMjlUMTQ6MzA6MjAuMjE3WiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2Jfa2V5In19--96a1e9bc562decfc1b9c22ebde2e57029ed5ea20/image.png?content_type=image%2Fpng&disposition=inline%3B+filename%3D%22image.png%22%3B+filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27image.png" for 192.168.223.1 at 2018-08-29 10:25:48 -0400
Processing by ActiveStorage::DiskController#show as PNG
  Parameters: {"content_type"=>"image/png", "disposition"=>"inline; filename=\"image.png\"; filename*=UTF-8''image.png", "encoded_key"=>"eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaEpJaDExUkhSelFuaHpNbVJyV1dsNFVsaGpaMXBTYVV0YWNGUUdPZ1pGVkE9PSIsImV4cCI6IjIwMTgtMDgtMjlUMTQ6MzA6MjAuMjE3WiIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2Jfa2V5In19--96a1e9bc562decfc1b9c22ebde2e57029ed5ea20", "filename"=>"image"}

What we don't like in console it looks like:

So do you like it? I think no. It looks like a garbage.

Imagine you have 1000 images to show! How long you need to scroll to see log of main request?

So if you want this gem can hide such logs for you. Very useful for development.

Since Rails logger is not thread-safe this gem doesn't fix all messages, since one thread could impact another. If you want to hide - run puma with only one thread (open puma.rb and put threads_count = ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 1 }).

Usage

Just add gem into Gemfile in Rails app.

Installation

gem 'active_storage_silent_logs', group: :development

And then execute:

$ bundle

TODO

• verify with other storages (s3 and other cloud services)
• can we disable puma logger?
• is it possible to fix issue with thread-safe with logger?
