Usage

Import the logger and create a logger instance, you can create multiple loggers and output them into the same widget.

    from qtlog.stream_log import get_stream_logger

    log = get_stream_logger('MyToolLog')
    log_ext = get_stream_logger('SomeOtherExternalLog')

Import the QtUILogger widget and create an instance of the widget, passing the app, the layout widget and the loggers, a layout widget is required.

    from qtlog.qt_ui_logger import QtUILogger

    # inside your app
    self.loggers = QtUILogger(parent=self, layout_widget=self.ui.log_layout, loggers=[log, log_ext])

In you qt app, you can use the QtUILogger to display the log messages in a widget.

    log.info('Message')
    log.warning('Message')
    log.error('Message')
    log.critical('Message')
    log.debug('Message')
    log.ok('Message')
    log.file('Message')
    log.process('Message')
    log.done('Message')
    log.hint('Message')

Lastly, when you close the app, remove the loggers from the widget by overriding the closeEvent() method.

    def closeEvent(self, event):
        """Remove the widget from the loggers, call .close() on closeEvent()."""
        self.loggers.close()
        self.close()

See the full example tool in the examples folder.
