=head1 NAME

MooseX::Role::LogHandler - A Logging Role for Moose based on Log::Handler

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 package MyApp;
 use Moose;

 with 'MooseX::Role::LogHandler';

 sub foo {
   my ($self) = @_;
   $self->logger->debug("started bar");    ### logs with default class catergory "MyApp"

 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A logging role building a very lightweight wrapper to L<Log::Handler> for use with your L<Moose> classes.

For compatibility the C<logger> attribute can be accessed to use a common interface for application logging.

=head1 ACCESSORS

=head2 logger

The C<logger> attribute holds the L<Log::Handler> object that implements all logging methods for the
defined log levels, such as C<debug> or C<error>. As this method is defined also in other logging
roles/systems like L<MooseX::Log::LogDispatch> this can be thought of as a common logging interface.

  package MyApp::View::JSON;

  extends 'MyApp::View';
  with 'MooseX::Role::LogHandler';

  sub bar {
    $self->logger->debug("Something could be crappy here");	# logs a debug message
    $self->logger->debug("Something could be crappy here");	# logs a debug message
  }
