Detailed Description

A logging category can be passed to console.log() and friends as the first argument. If supplied to the logger the LoggingCategory's name will be used as logging category. Otherwise the default logging category will be used.

import QtQuick

Item {
    LoggingCategory {
        id: category
        name: "com.qt.category"
        defaultLogLevel: LoggingCategory.Warning
    }

    Component.onCompleted: {
        console.log(category, "log message");
        console.warn(category, "warning message");
    }
}

By default this outputs only com.qt.category: warning message. The log message is suppressed due to the defaultLogLevel. You can, however, configure log levels for QML logging categories the same way you can configure them for QLoggingCategory.

Note: As the creation of objects is expensive, it is encouraged to put the needed LoggingCategory definitions into a singleton and import this where needed.
