Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 2
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 3 Logger library that is build based on the LoggerInterface library that follows
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 4 the PSR-3 logger standard.
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 5
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 6 This library provides an abstract class logable to make your classes easily Logger
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 7 aware.
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 8
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 9 Besides that the LogIt library also has a SerialLogger implementation and a NullLogger
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 10 for production applications where no logging should be done.
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 11
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 12 NullLogger is used as a default when making your classes Logger aware. It is implemented
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 13 using the Singleton pattern to avoid waste of resources.

Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 15 ## Using LogIt
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 16
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 17 First make your class inherit from Logable as such
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 18
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 19 ```C++
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 20 class Router : public LogIt::Logable {
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 21 //...
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 22 };
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 23 ```
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 24
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 25 Now you can use the `set_logger()` method to inject a logger into the class
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 26 or you can provide it as an optional argument to your constructors as shown below:
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 27
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 28 ```C++
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 29 Router::Router(int address, Log::LoggerInterface * logger = 0) {
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 30 set_logger(logger);
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 31 logger->info("Setting up the router");
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 32 //...
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 33 }
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 34 ```

Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 36 ## Dependencies
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 37
Nico De Witte 5:e16468c1160f 38 This library currently only depends on the LoggerInterface itself which can be found at
