What is the suggested way to use this library? about log4cats

[ChristopherDavenport]

There has been a proposal for us to allow a withName on loggers to shift the name under the hood. Currently there is

trait LoggerGen[F[_]]{
  def getLogger(name: String): F[StructuredLogger[F]]
}

My suggested approach is rather than logging in 1 space, to create a singular logger for the whole application which should be passed as a value.

I am working on a way to change the underlying logger name separately.

In your example you also create a logger. The reason this is not a concern generally is slf4j, reuses loggers based on what already exists internally.

@ChristopherDavenport thanks for the clarification!

@ChristopherDavenport

to create a singular logger for the whole application which should be passed as a value.

In that solution every log line has the same context, i.e. the name of the class where the logger is created.
Is there an elegant alternative (so without creating a logger for each class/object)?
