Getting started
Before you start, just know that the main motivation behind this library was to keep the interface as pythonic as possible. So you'll find alot of familiarity with the default logging library. We even have the same set of logging functions that we can perform in the logging library.
Let us get started with...
Installation
with pip recommended
The updated stable version of monolg is maintained in Python packing index or PyPI so it can easily be downloaded using pip. If you're using a virual environment like venv then inside the activated environment do the following
$ pip install monolg
$ pip intall monolg=="0.0.1"
with github
Monolg can be downloaded directly from github as well, using the following command you'd be able to install monolg locally from the master branch
or you can install directly from github using.
$ pip install git+https://github.com/Mukhopadhyay/monolg.git@master
Comparing code with the logging module
If you want to get started with logging using the built-in logging API provided by the standard library modules you would have to do the following
import logging
# Setting up the logger
logging.basicConfig(filename='test.log', level=logging.INFO)
logging.info('Hello, World!')
>>> INFO:root:Hello, World!
Whereas, if we compare that to Monolg that is more if not as simpler,
from monolg import Monolg
mlog = Monolg('mongodb://localhost:27017', verbose=True)
mlog.conect() # Connecting to the MongoDB instance
mlog.info("Welcome to monolg")
>>> 10-10-2022 10:10:10 [INFO] [system] monolg connected to mongodb
>>> 10-10-2022 10:10:10 [INFO] [monolg] Welcome to monolg
