Effectra\\Log
=============

[](#effectralog)

Effectra\\Log is a logging library that provides a simple and flexible way to handle logging in your PHP applications. It implements the [PSR-3 LoggerInterface](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/) and includes additional features for log handling.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the Effectra\\Log library via Composer. Run the following command in your project directory:

```
composer require effectra/log

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use the Effectra\\Log library in your project, follow these steps:

1. Create an instance of the `Logger` class:

    ```
    use Effectra\Log\Logger;

    $logger = new Logger('/path/to/log/file.log');
    ```
2. Start logging messages:

    ```
    $logger->info('This is an informational message.');
    $logger->error('An error occurred.', ['context' => 'additional data']);
    // ...
    ```
3. Customize log levels:

    ```
    use Effectra\Log\LogLevel;

    $logger->log(LogLevel::DEBUG, 'Debug message');
    $logger->log(LogLevel::WARNING, 'Warning message');
    // ...
    ```
4. Set the logger instance on other classes (optional):

    ```
    use Effectra\Log\LoggerAware;
    use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

    class MyClass implements LoggerAware
    {
        public function __construct(LoggerInterface $logger)
        {
            $this->setLogger($logger);
        }

        // ...
    }
    ```

For more detailed information on the available methods and features, refer to the code documentation and the [PSR-3 LoggerInterface](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/) documentation.
