# tinylualogger

Simple single file Lua logging module. Could have been a gist really, but that would have been harder for me to find again.

##Usage

Just `require("logging")` in all files that require logging.

To change the default logging level from `INFO` to something else, call `logging.set_default_loglevel(loglevel)` directly after `require("logging")`, where `loglevel` is one of `logging.loglevels`.

To log, you must first create a logger:

    local logger = logging.logger.new(loggername)

    

Where `loggername` is the name of the logger. To use the name of the current module as a name (recommended), pass `...`. If not given, the logger name defaults to `root`

After that, you can use the logger as expected:

    logger.debug("debug message") -- DEBUG:root: debug message

    logger.info("info message") -- INFO:root: info message

    logger.warn("warning message") -- WARN:root: warning message

    logger.error("error message") -- ERROR:root: error message

    logger.critical("critical error message") -- CRITICAL:root: critical error message

    

To change the logging level for this file only, use `logger.set_loglevel(loglevel)` in similar fashion to `logging.set_default_loglevel(loglevel)`

    

see `tests/` for an example project (it's a bit preposterous of me to call them tests)
