Logger proxy should be in separate repository

[SamMousa]

This library contains a proxy allowing us to provide a PSR LoggerInterface and route its output to Yii's logger.
This should be in the core or a separate library, it is a useful tool with and without symfony mailer.

I'm happy to create a PR if you can create a new repo, or to create a PR for the Yii2 core, but I think that's feature frozen. Of course I could make this in my own repository as well but it would be better if it lives in yiisoft.

[SamMousa]

But this is actually the other way around right? It exposes a PSR3 Logger and sends it to Yii.

[samdark]

Is it useful for more cases than the Symfony mailer?

[SamMousa]

Any library that supports logging via PSR could have their logs routed to the yii log dispatcher.

[samdark]

OK. Do you need a repository? If so, how to name it?

[SamMousa]

Any name is fine. Maybe simliar to your yii2-psr-log-target but then yii2-psr-log-source?

I cannot fork it because it's empty. Can you give me permissions to write to the repo or create an initial commit so that I can fork and create a PR?

[samdark]

Created a file.

Is everything done here?

[SamMousa]

Yes, implementing it in this library is now mostly a one-liner, but I have a question.

The implementation looks like this:

$defaultFactories = Transport::getDefaultFactories(null, null, new Logger(Yii::getLogger()));

This would take a reference to the Logger, however if someone calls Yii::setLogger at any time this logger won't be updated to use the new logger. This is of course mutability issue that we have a lot in Yii2. For a library however we should probably support this mutability..

See yiisoft/yii2-psr-log-source#8 for an implementation.

If we merge that PR it would be:

$defaultFactories = Transport::getDefaultFactories(null, null, new DynamicLogger());
