import { AwesomeLogger } from 'awesome-logging';

// Example: Simple text logging
AwesomeLogger.log('Welcome to awesome-logging!');

setTimeout(() => logControl.setText('Cool!'), 3000);

// Example: Simple text logging (with line breaks)
const textA = 'One line of text...';
const textB = 'Multiple\nLines\nof Text!';
let state = true;
const logControl = AwesomeLogger.log(textA);
setInterval(() => {
  state = !state;
  logControl.setText(state ? textA : textB);
}, 1000);

// Example: Progress Bar
const logProgressControl = AwesomeLogger.log('progress', {
  totalProgress: 100,
  text: 'Very important progress:'
});

let i = 0;
const interval = setInterval(() => {

  if (i === 100) {
    clearInterval(interval);
  }
}, 500);
