# Logger Generator

Structured logging is important but setting it up right takes time. This tool generates production-ready logging config for pino, winston, or bunyan.

**One command. Zero config. Just works.**

## Quick Start

```bash
npx ai-logger pino
```

## What It Does

- Generates logging setup for popular libraries
- Includes request tracking and correlation IDs
- Sets up log rotation and formatting
- Pretty output for development, JSON for production

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Pino setup
npx ai-logger pino

# Winston to file
npx ai-logger winston -o lib/logger.ts

# Edge runtime compatible
npx ai-logger bunyan -e edge
```

## Best Practices

- **Use structured logs** - JSON is searchable
- **Include request IDs** - trace requests across services
- **Log at the right level** - don't info log everything
- **Redact sensitive data** - never log passwords or tokens

## When to Use This

- Starting a new project with proper logging
- Replacing console.log with real logging
- Setting up log aggregation
- Debugging production issues
