adding category without default

[devashishg]

I have one logger initialised with a file appender in default category. I need to add a new logger category with different file appender in same code base for different module.
but when I tried configuring new category, I have to pass default appender.

is there a way to fetch the default configuration from the logger or any way to add new category with different file appender.

At the moment, I don't think there is a way to fetch the configurations. While I can possibly cache the passed-in configuration and return that, it would not reflect any programmatical changes (via Logger) as they don't go through the same flow.

For a quick solution, I would recommend caching your configuration, amending it and calling log4js.configure() every time you want it to get updated. Would that suffice?

We can have this as a feature, we can amend the configurations and add new category.
