A file logger class.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require vakata/log
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// create an instance
// by default all error levels are logged to the default "error_log" location
$log = new \vakata\log\Log();
// log a message with some params
$log->debug('Just some info', ['context'=>'params']);
// add some additional context for all future calls
$log->addContext(['context'=>'for all future logs']);
// directly logging exceptions works too
try {
    throw new Exception('Some exception');
}
catch (\Exception $e) {
    $log->error($e);
}

// you can optionally make sure only certain error levels are logged
// and also specify a file for the log
$log = new \vakata\log\Log(
    \vakata\log\Log::ALL ^ \vakata\log\Log::DEBUG, // we log everything but debug
    __DIR__ . '/path/to.log'
);
```
