Usage
-----
```rust
use simple_logger::SimpleLogger;
fn main() {
SimpleLogger::new().init().unwrap();
log::warn!("This is an example message.");
}
```
This outputs:
```
2015-02-24 01:05:20 WARN [logging_example] This is an example message.
```
You can run the above example with:
```bash
cargo run --example init
```
Coloured output and timestamps will be enabled by default. You can remove these
features and their respective dependencies by disabling all features in your
`Cargo.toml`.
```
[dependencies.simple_logger]
default-features = false
```
To include the `timestamps` feature, but not the `color` feature:
```
[dependencies.simple_logger]
default-features = false
features = ["timestamps"]
```
To include the `color` feature, but not the `timestamps` feature:
```
[dependencies.simple_logger]
default-features = false
features = ["color"]
```
