Class Logger<T>

java.lang.Object
org.chsrobotics.lib.telemetry.Logger<T>
Type Parameters:
T - The data type of the log entry.

public class Logger<T> extends Object
Utility to streamline publishing data to NetworkTables and saving it to an on-robot log file.

Parameterized to the type of data to publish/log.

If the data isn't numerical (Double, Int, Long, etc), Boolean, String, or an Array of one of those types, this will instead publish and log the result of its .toString() method.

This can generally be used in two ways: construction with a lambda of the logged value, or passing the new value with every call of update().

Values are only flushed to NetworkTables and built-in logs when update() is called.

      public Logger(Supplier<T> lambda, edu.wpi.first.util.datalog.DataLog log, String key, String subdirName, boolean publishToNT, boolean recordInLog)
      Constructs a Logger using a provided DataLog, with the option of whether to publish to NT and the log.
      Parameters:
      lambda - Lambda (of logged type) to use as initial data source.
      log - The DataLog to log values inside of, most likely from HighLevelLogger.getInstance.getLog() or whatever log is being used program-wide.
      key - A string identifier for the logged field.
      subdirName - The string name of the existing or new NetworkTables sub-table to write to.
      publishToNT - Whether this should push logged values to NetworkTables.
      recordInLog - Whether this should store logged values in an on-robot log file.
