📦 Installation

pip install smlog

🚀 Quick Start

from logger import Logger

logger = Logger(
    name="MyApp",
    min_level="DEBUG",
    use_colors=True,
    log_to_file=True,
    log_dir="logs",
    rotate_daily=True,
    unique_dir=True,
    console=True
)

logger.debug("This is a debug message")
logger.info("Informational message", user="Nikita")
logger.warning("Warning message")
logger.error("Error occurred", exc=ValueError("Invalid value"))

logger.bind(session_id="12345", user="Nikita")
logger.info("Message with context")
logger.unbind("session_id")  # Remove a single key

⚙️ Features
1. Colored Console Output
- DEBUG — Blue
- INFO — Cyan
- WARNING — Yellow
- ERROR — Red
- DATE — Magenta
- MESSAGE — Cyan
Colors can be disabled using use_colors=False.

2. File Logging
Logs can be saved to a specific directory (log_dir).
Supports daily rotation (rotate_daily=True).
Unique directories can be created with unique_dir=True to avoid overwriting existing logs.

3. Custom Format
Use set_format(fmt) to customize log format:
logger.set_format("[{time}] [{level}] ({name}) {msg} | {context}")
Available fields:
- {time} — current date and time
- {level} — log level
- {name} — logger name
- {msg} — log message
- {context} — optional context
Context is only included if it exists. The | separator is automatically omitted if empty.

4. Context Management
Add context globally with bind:
logger.bind(user="Nikita", session="xyz")
logger.info("Message with context")
logger.unbind("session")  # Remove a key
logger.unbind()  # Clear all context

5. Log Levels
Supported levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR.
Filter logs by min_level:

    logger = Logger(min_level="WARNING")
    logger.debug("This will not show")  # Skipped
    logger.error("This will show")
    Invalid levels will suggest the closest match:
    logger.log("INF", "Message")  # Did you mean "INFO"?

6. Format Help
Prints available fields and example usage:
logger.show_format_help()
Example output:
    ==========================
    Available parameters: ['time', 'level', 'name', 'msg', 'context']
    Example: [{time}] [{level}] ({name}) {msg}{context}
    [NOTICE] If you want to add 'context', do it as shown in the example!
