https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25159 Bug ID: 25159 Summary: Action logs should be stored in JSON ( and as a diff of the change ) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kyle@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Action logs would be much more readable if we changed the format from a raw Data::Dumper::Dumper string to JSON which we could format nicely in the interface. In addition, we could store changes to database rows ( and other data structures ) as a diff stored in JSON. I think the format from Struct::Diff::diff is nice. Given: my $x = { surname => 'Hall', firstname => 'Kyle', cardnumber => '12345', suffix => "Jr.", }; my $y = { surname => 'Hall', firstname => 'Kyle', cardnumber => '9876543', nickname => "K-dog" }; The diff looks like: { "D": { "cardnumber": { "N": "9876543" }, "nickname": { "A": "K-dog" }, "suffix": { "R": "Jr." } } } Where the D key is the difference, and indicates cardnumber has changed with an N, nickname has been added with an A, and suffix has been removed with an R. With this data we can easily construct a nice diff view ( perhaps green for added, red for removed, and yellow for changes showing the old and new value ). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
