Logging scopes for slog-rs

Logging scopes are convenience functionality for slog-rs to free user from manually passing Logger objects around.

Set of macros is also provided as an alternative to original slog crate macros, for logging directly to Logger of the current logging scope.

Set global logger upfront

Warning: Since slog-scope version 4.0.0, slog-scope defaults to panicking on logging if no scope or global logger was set. Because of it, it is advised to always set a global logger upfront with set_global_logger.

Using slog-scope as a part of API is not advised

Part of a slog logging philosophy is ability to freely express logging contexts according to logical structure, rather than callstack structure. By using logging scopes the logging context is tied to code flow again, which is less expressive.

It is generally advised NOT to use slog_scope in libraries. Read more in slog-rs FAQ

use slog::Drain;

fn foo() {
    slog_info!(slog_scope::logger(), "foo");
    info!("foo"); // Same as above, but more ergonomic and a bit faster
                  // since it uses `with_logger`
}

fn main() {
    let plain = slog_term::PlainSyncDecorator::new(std::io::stdout());
    let log = slog::Logger::root(
        slog_term::FullFormat::new(plain)
        .build().fuse(), slog_o!()
    );

    // Make sure to save the guard, see documentation for more information
    let _guard = slog_scope::set_global_logger(log);
    slog_scope::scope(&slog_scope::logger().new(slog_o!("scope" => "1")),
        || foo()
    );
}
