Setting up and using loggy is super simple. Just install, instanstiate, and impress.

```bash
npm install @loggydev/loggy-node
```

Set up your logger

```javascript
  const loggy = CreateLoggy({
    level: "info", // debug, info, warn, or error
    identifier: "my-app", // an identifier for your application or service
    color: true, // enable colors
    compact: false, // compact mode for json objects
    timestamp: true // show the timestamp in the log message
  });

  loggy.log("This is a log message");
  loggy.info("This is an info message");
  loggy.warn("This is a warn message");
  loggy.error("This is an error message");
```

It's as simple as that.
