# elf4j-logback

An adapter to use [LOGBACK](https://logback.qos.ch/) as service provider and runtime log engine

for the [ELF4J](https://github.com/elf4j/elf4j) (Easy Logging Facade for Java) API

## User Story

As an application developer using the [ELF4J](https://github.com/elf4j/elf4j) API, I want to have the option of

selecting [LOGBACK](https://logback.qos.ch/) as my log engine, at application deploy time without code change or

re-compile.

## Prerequisite

Java 8+

## Get It...

[![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/io.github.elf4j/elf4j-logback.svg?label=Maven%20Central)](https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:%22io.github.elf4j%22%20AND%20a:%22elf4j-logback%22)

## Use It...

If you are using the [ELF4J API](https://github.com/elf4j/elf4j) for logging, and wish to select or change to use

LOGBACK as the run-time log engine, then simply pack this service provider in the classpath when the application

deploys. No code change needed. At compile time, the client code is unaware of this run-time logging service provider.

With the ELF4J facade, opting for LOGBACK as the logging implementation is a deployment-time decision.

The usual [LOGBACK configuration](https://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html) applies.

With Maven, in addition to use compile-scope on the [ELF4J API](https://github.com/elf4j/elf4j) dependency, an end-user

application would use runtime-scope for this provider as a dependency:

```html

    io.github.elf4j

    elf4j

    compile

    io.github.elf4j

    elf4j-logback

    runtime

```
