Idiomatic way of logging in Kotlin

Question

Kotlin doesn\'t have the same notion of static fields as used in Java. In Java, the generally accepted way of doing logging is:

public class Foo {
    privat         


        

Answer 1

Slf4j example, same for others. This even works for creating package level logger

/**  
  * Get logger by current class name.  
  */ 

fun getLogger(c: () -> Unit): Logger = 
        LoggerFactory.getLogger(c.javaClass.enclosingClass)

Usage:

val logger = getLogger { }
