Usage Examples

# Import specific tools
from fstrent_tools.tools_logging import setup_logger
from fstrent_tools.tools_json import load_json, save_json
from fstrent_tools.tools_time import get_timestamp
from fstrent_tools.tools_formatting import format_number
from fstrent_tools.tools_object import AttDict

# Setup logging
logger = setup_logger("my_app")

# JSON operations
data = load_json("config.json")
save_json("output.json", data)

# Time operations
current_time = get_timestamp()

# Formatting
formatted_num = format_number(1234567.89)

# Using AttDict for attribute-style dictionary access
config = AttDict({
    'database': {
        'host': 'localhost',
        'port': 5432,
        'name': 'mydb'
    },
    'api_key': 'secret123'
})

# Access nested values using dot notation
print(config.database.host)  # outputs: localhost
print(config.api_key)        # outputs: secret123

# Still works like a regular dictionary
print(config['database']['port'])  # outputs: 5432

# Modify values using either notation
config.database.name = 'newdb'
config['api_key'] = 'newsecret'
