# loggerv
[](http://travis-ci.org/clux/loggerv)
[](https://coveralls.io/r/clux/loggerv)
[](https://crates.io/crates/loggerv)
A simple `stdout` and `stderr` writing `Logger` implementation of the `log` crate, using `ansi_term` for colors and configured via a log level. Designed for simple Command Line Interfaces (CLIs).
## Usage
First, add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
log = "0.3"
loggerv = "0.4"
```
Next, add this to the `main.rs` or the file containing the `main` function for your CLI program:
```rust
extern crate loggerv;
```
## Getting Started
Clone this repository, then run the following commands to see the log level change:
```bash
$ cargo run --example quick
$ cargo run --example quick -- -v
$ cargo run --example quick -- -vv
$ cargo run --example quick -- -vvv
```
This will run an example that uses the [clap](https://crates.io/crates/clap) argument parser to change the log level at run-time based on the number of `-v` arguments that are passed to the application. As the occurrence of the `-v` argument increases, the number of log statements that are displayed should increase.
Next, run the following commands:
```bash
$ cargo run --example compile-time-config
```
This will run an example that changes the output from defaults at compile-time. The following commands will demonstration configuration at run-time:
```bash
$ cargo run --example run-time-config
$ cargo run --example run-time-config -- -v
$ cargo run --example run-time-config -- -vv
$ cargo run --example run-time-config -- -vvv
$ cargo run --example run-time-config -- -vvv
$ cargo run --example run-time-config -- -vvv -l
$ cargo run --example run-time-config -- -vvv -l -d
$ cargo run --example run-time-config -- -vvv -l -d --no-module-path
$ cargo run --example run-time-config -- -vvv -l -d --no-module-path --no-color
```
Similar to the quick example, as the occurrence of the `-v` argument increases, the number of log statements that are displayed should increase. As the various configuration arguments, i.e. `-l`, `-d`, etc. are added, the format of the log statements change. The `-h,--help` flag can be used to display information about the various flags and their effects on logging and output.
Finally, run the following commands to demonstration build profile configuration:
```bash
$ cargo run --example cfg-config
$ cargo run --release --example cfg-config
```
The number of log statements are displayed based on the build profile, either Debug or Release.
