Usage

In its initial implementation only CMake tool is considered. To use the library in your project, you have:

Add the library as a submodule (or any kind of folder in your machine)
```
git submodule add https://github.com/arsdever/qspdlog.git
```
Add the library to your CMake project
```
add_subdirectory(qspdlog)
```

Add the library to your target

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} qspdlog::lib)

Include the interface header into the source file where you want to instantiate the widget
```
#include <qspdlog/qspdlog.h>
```

Instantiate the widget, register loggers and show the widget

QSpdLogWidget* widget = new QSpdLogWidget();

auto sink = widget->sink();
// register the sink to whatever logger you want

widget->show();

A complete example can be found in the sample folder.

Note: In the sample it's considered that you already added the library as a submodule.
