Logger Helper

Logger Helper is a VS Code extension designed to make logging faster and more customizable.

This extension lets you insert logging statements quickly with shortcuts.

✨ Features

• Insert logging statements with simple keyboard shortcuts.
• Fully customizable logger methods (e.g., logger.i, logger.e, log, print, etc.).
• Works with any programming language — [just change the logger method].
• Define your own shortcuts per log level (Info, Trace, Warn, Error, etc.).
• Quick setup in VS Code settings.

📌 Example

Selected text:

var msg = "welcome";

Select (msg) and pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Info):

logger.i("msg: $msg");

Selected text:

var length = msg.length;

Select (msg.length) and pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Info):

logger.i("msg.length: ${msg.length}");

⚙️ Configuration

In your VS Code settings.json, you can configure the logger methods and shortcuts.
