Getting started with Logger

NOTE: Ensure you followed the correct installation steps in here, or this tutorial might not work correctly for you.

Instantiate the Logger class

Before you do any logging, you'll need access to the functions. Do this by instantiating a Logger object, like so:

int main()
{
    Logger logger; // You don't need to provide any constructor arguments
}

Set the LogLevel

In Logger, everything you log has a level. You have five to choose from: Note, Info, Warning, Error, and Fatal. In the code, these are reffered to as objname.name, where objname is the name of the object you created in the last step, and name is the level you want, e.g. logger.Warning.

It is reccommended to always set your Logger level, but the default is Note so it may not always be necessary. You can set the LogLevel with the function SetLevel(LogLevel level). That works like this:

int main()
{
    Logger logger = new Logger();
    logger.SetLevel(logger.Warning); // Here, I'm setting a warning – you can set whichever you need
}
