About simpleLogger

simpleLogger is a small header and source file logging library made in C++.

Platforms

simpleLogger should work on all operating systems such as Windows, Linux and Mac OS but is currently tested on the following:

• Windows 10
• Windows 11

Features

• Simple integration
  • Just two files, logger.hpp and logger.cpp
  • Only include logger.hpp
• Small and simple library
  • Cross-platform
  • Small header with minimal includes for speed
  • No external dependencies
• Multiple log targets
  • Console logging (Console colors supported!)
  • File logging
  • And the best part, the code is extendable so you can add different log targets

Usage example

You can use src/main.cpp as an example on how to use everything in this library.

Here is a quick example:

#include "logger.hpp"

int main()
{
	// Log examples
	logger.log("Example of an unknown log severity");
	logger.log(FAILURE, "Imminent program failure");
	logger.log(ERROR, "Error, but program can continue");
	logger.log(WARNING, "Warning");
	logger.log(IMPORTANT, "Important messages, more relevant than regular info messages");
	logger.log(INFO, "Default level on release builds. Used for general messages");
	logger.log(DEBUG, "Default level on debug builds. Used for messages that are only relevant to the developer");
	logger.log(VERBOSE, "Verbose level on debug builds. Useful when developers need more information");
	
	return 0;
}
