How do you use electron-log ?

--- Ideally this discussion would serve as examples and samples for people who would chuck wood [at logs]

I use it thusly - so far

src/global.d.ts

import Logger from "electron-log";
declare global {
  var mainLogger: Logger.ElectronLog;
}
export {};

src/common/logger-main.ts

const Logger = require("electron-log")
const loggerMain = Logger.create('main')
loggerMain.transports.file.fileName = "main.log";
loggerMain.transports.file.maxSize = 1024 * 1024;
loggerMain.level = 'debug';
global.mainLogger = loggerMain;

src/main.ts

import "../common/logger-main"

src/appWindows.ts

const logger = global.mainLogger;
[...]
logger.debug(`createNewWindow newWindow.on("closed`);
