    }

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

There is one class contained in this library called `Log`. It contains the following methods:

```
__construct($filePath, $level)
emergency($message, array $context = array())
alert($message, array $context = array())
critical($message, array $context = array())
error($message, array $context = array())
warning($message, array $context = array())
notice($message, array $context = array())
info($message, array $context = array())
debug($message, array $context = array())
log($level, $message, array $context = array())
```

Example log entrys with contexts looks like this:

```
2015-02-05 10:35:20 [DEBUG] Test debug. {"contextKey":"contextVal"}
2015-02-05 10:35:20 [INFO] Test info. {"contextKey":"contextVal"}
2015-02-05 10:35:20 [LOG] Test notice. {"contextKey":"contextVal"}
2015-02-05 10:35:20 [WARN] Test warning. {"contextKey":"contextVal"}
2015-02-05 10:35:20 [ERROR] Test error. {"contextKey":"contextVal"}
2015-02-05 10:35:20 [CRITICAL] Test critical. {"contextKey":"contextVal"}
2015-02-05 10:35:20 [ALERT] Test alert. {"contextKey":"contextVal"}
