+ * 4 different log levels are provided, via corresponding methods:
+ * - log: for debug information
+ * - info: for informative status of the application (success, ...)
+ * - warning: for non-critical errors that do not prevent normal application behavior
+ * - error: for critical errors that prevent normal application behavior

+ *   logger = logger.getLogger('myService');
+ *   ...
+ *   logger.log('something happened');
+ * }
+ *
+ * If you want to disable debug logs in production, add this snippet to your app configuration:
+ * angular.module('app').config(function ($provide) {
+ *   // Disable debug logs in production version
+ *   $provide.decorator('$log', ['$delegate', function($delegate) {

- * Provides a simple logging system with the possibility of registering log observers.

- *
- * 4 different log levels are provided, via corresponding methods:
- * - log: for debug information
- * - info: for informative status of the application (success, ...)
- * - warning: for non-critical errors that do not prevent normal application behavior
- * - error: for critical errors that prevent normal application behavior
- *
- * Example usage:
- * angular.module('myService', ['logger']).factory('myService', function (logger) {
- *   logger = logger.getLogger('myService');
- *   ...
- *   logger.log('something happened');
- * }
- *
- * If you want to disable debug logs in production, add this snippet to your app configuration:
- * angular.module('app').config(function ($provide) {
- *   // Disable debug logs in production version
- *   $provide.decorator('$log', ['$delegate', function($delegate) {
- *     if (!debug) {

- *     }
- *     return $delegate;
- *   }]);

- * If you want additional tasks to be performed on log entry (show toast, for example),
