HE_Logger: Magento 2 Module

Purpose

The purpose of this module is to provide the impatient Magento 2 developer (like me) a way to easily log messages to arbitrary log files within the "var/log" directory, similar to how logging worked in Magento 1. Magento 2 supports logging right out of the box via Zend Logging and Monolog, but both options are a pain to use when you just want to quickly log something. With this technique, there is no need to do anything with DI (or your brain) -- no DI file updates, no need to mess with constructors, and no need to DI compile -- you just log when you want to log.

To install manually

1. Copy the files to the root of your Magento 2 site,
2. run "php bin/magento module:enable HE_Logger" on the command line,
3. run "php bin/magento setup:upgrade" on the command line.

To install via composer
