Color logging for Mongoid

colored_logger.rb

require 'logger'
class ColoredLogger < Logger
  WHITE = "\e[37m"
  CYAN = "\e[36m"
  MAGENTA = "\e[35m"
  BLUE = "\e[34m"
  YELLOW = "\e[33m"
  GREEN = "\e[32m"
  RED = "\e[31m"
  BLACK = "\e[30m"
  BOLD = "\e[1m"
  CLEAR = "\e[0m"

  def color(text, color, bold=false)
    color = self.class.const_get(color.to_s.upcase) if color.is_a?(Symbol)
    bold  = bold ? BOLD : ""
    "#{bold}#{color}#{text}#{CLEAR}"
  end

  def odd?
    @odd_or_even = ! @odd_or_even
  end

  %w[debug info warn error fatal].each do |method|
    define_method method do |message|
      message = message.sub('MONGODB', color('MONGODB', odd? ? CYAN : MAGENTA)).
        sub(%r{(?<=\[')([^']+)}) {|m| color(m, BLUE)}.
        sub(%r{(?<=\]\.)\w+}) {|m| color(m, YELLOW)}
      super(message)
    end
  end
end

Would like to try it on rails 3.2, where would you initialize this i.e. which file would you save it in, I have tried an initializer and application rb, where did you place this to get it to work

I packed this in gem. Just add gem 'mongoid_colored_logging' to your Gemfile

The gem's name is mongoid_colored_logger, not "logging" ;-)
