import (
	slogbetterstack "github.com/samber/slog-betterstack"
	slogotel "github.com/samber/slog-otel"
	"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
)

func main() {
	tp := trace.NewTracerProvider(
		trace.WithSampler(trace.AlwaysSample()),
	)
	tracer := tp.Tracer("hello/world")

	ctx, span := tracer.Start(context.Background(), "foo")
	defer span.End()

	span.AddEvent("bar")

	logger := slog.New(
		slogbetterstack.Option{
			// ...
			AttrFromContext: []func(ctx context.Context) []slog.Attr{
				slogotel.ExtractOtelAttrFromContext([]string{"tracing"}, "trace_id", "span_id"),
			},
		}.NewBetterstackHandler(),
	)

	logger.ErrorContext(ctx, "a message")
}
