Frontend Configuration

We should probably ditch this <script> tag style configuration shouldn't we? Haha.

If you're using a build pipeline and don't want the extra script tag, this is probably pretty crappy:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="app.min.js" data-log-url="blah"></script>

The intention of this tool in the first place was to be 0 config. I.e. Drop and go

Moving that config to the JS side of things would inherently go against that goal 😢

[adammcarth]

Yeah, I agree :(

What about configurable options that override <script> options?

[MarshallOfSound]

As long as it maintains it's light-weightedness 'll be OK with it 👍

[adammcarth]

Righto, I'll have a think tonight.

The real configuration pain is due to the fact you never really need to initialize a new instance of Logger haha. Otherwise we could just do something like:

Logger = function(options) { ... }

What if we just allowed settings to be configured globally? window.OpenLog.logUrl = "Blahhh" (we'll set window.OpenLog = {} in the script). Yay or nay?

@adammcarth Why not put our automatically read in config on window.Log.config and then read it from there when being used. This allows people to just modify that object
