Getting Started

To start using Logfather, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
logfather = "0.2.1"

Minimum supported Rust version: 1.63.0

Usage

Quick setup for outputting to terminal:


use logfather::*;

fn main() {
    let mut logger = Logger::new(); //Terminal output is enabled by default

    error!("This is an error message");
}

Setting up for only file output with specific error levels to be written:


use logfather::*;

fn main() {
    let mut logger = Logger::new();
    logger.terminal(false) // Disable terminal output 
    logger.file(true); // Enable file output
    logger.path("log.txt"); // Set the path for file logging
    logger.level(Level::Error); // Set the minimum level

    info!("This is an info message"); // Will not be written to file
    debug!("This is a debug message"); // Will not be written to file
    warning!("This is a warning message"); // Will not be written to file

    error!("This is an error message"); // Will be written to file
    critical!("This is a critical message"); // Will be written to file
}

Set up for both terminal and file output capturing every level except warning


use logfather::*;

fn main() {
    let mut logger = Logger::new(); // Terminal output is enabled by default
    logger.file(true); // Enable file output
    logger.path("log.txt"); // Set the path for file logging
    logger.ignore(Level::Warning); // Set the specific level to ignore

    debug!("This is a debug message");
    warning!("This is a warning message"); // Will be ignored
    critical!("This is a critical message");
}
