# simplog
A small and easy to use rust crate for logging.
## Add to your project
Add the dependency on `simplog`in your crate's `Cargo.toml`file:
```
[dependencies]
simplog = "~1.0"
```
## Importing
Import the simplog crate in your code, and use the SimpleLogger module.
```
extern crate simplog;
use simplog::simplog::SimpleLogger;
```
## Initializing
Initialize the SimpleLogger using the `init()` function by passing it an `Option<&str>` that has a value of `None` or `Some("log_level_str")`, where `log_level_str` is a `&str` with a valid log level, in any case.
The string will be parsed and if valid set as the log level.
```
SimpleLogger::init(Some("Info"));
```
## Logging
Logging is done using the normal rust `log` framework, with it's macros for easilly logging at different
levels: `error!()`, `info!()`, etc.
To include the rust logging framework in your project, add a dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
```
[dependencies]
log = "0.3.8"
```
and use the crate in your code with:
```
#[macro_use]
extern crate log;
```
## Example
```
#[macro_use]
extern crate log;
extern crate simplog;
use simplog::simplog::SimpleLogger;
fn main() {
SimpleLogger::init(Some("Info"));
info!("Hello World!");
}
