    return err
}

Write JSON structured logs to stdout:

if err := dummylog.New(dummylog.WithFormat(dummylog.JSON)).Start(ctx); err != nil {
    return err
}

Write JSON structured logs to file:

file, createErr := os.Create(filePath)
if createErr != nil {
    return createErr
}

dummy := dummylog.New(dummylog.WithWriter(file), dummylog.WithFormat(dummylog.JSON))
if err := dummy.Start(ctx); err != nil {
    return err
}
