# MessageLog

> Basic log class for general messages in React Native Beagle

`MessageLog` is the simplest log type, extending `BeagleLog` without any additional properties. Use it for general-purpose logging of informational messages.

## Overview

`MessageLog` inherits all properties and methods from [`BeagleLog`](/api/beagle-log) and doesn't add any additional functionality. It's the default choice for logging custom messages at various severity levels.

## Constructor

<ParamField path="message" type="string" required>
  The log message content.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="level" type="LogLevel" default="info">
  Optional severity level. One of: `'loading'` | `'info'` | `'warning'` | `'error'` | `'success'`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="id" type="string">
  Optional custom ID. If not provided, a unique 6-character ID is generated automatically.
</ParamField>

## When to Use

Use `MessageLog` for:

* General application events
* Custom debug messages
* User action tracking
* Application state changes
* Any log that doesn't fit the specific types (Error, Networking)

## Usage Examples

### Basic Info Message

```typescript theme={null}
import { MessageLog } from 'react-native-beagle';

const log = new MessageLog('User logged in successfully');
```

### Success Message

```typescript theme={null}
const log = new MessageLog('Data saved to database', 'success');
```

### Warning Message

```typescript theme={null}
const log = new MessageLog('API rate limit approaching', 'warning');
```

### Custom ID

```typescript theme={null}
const log = new MessageLog(
  'Payment processed',
  'success',
  'payment-123'
);
```

## Type Definition

```typescript theme={null}
class MessageLog extends BeagleLog {}
```
