twyg

A tiny logging setup for Rust applications

I got used to logging my apps in Clojure with Twig and in LFE with Logjam, so here this is.

Usage

I like to put my logging setup in YAML config files for my apps, but however you prefer to do that, you'll need to eventually populate the twyg::LoggerOpts struct:

let opts = twyg::LoggerOpts{
        colored: true,
        file: "".to_string(),
        level: "debug".to_string(),
        report_caller: true,
    };

Options:

• colored: setting to false will disable ANIS colors in the logging output
• file: provide a path to a file, and output will be logged there too
• level: case-insensitive logging level
• report_caller: setting to true will output the filename and line number where the logging call was made

With the opts defined, make the setup call:

    match twyg::setup_logger(&opts) {
        Ok(_) => {},
        Err(error) => {
            panic!("Could not setup logger: {:?}", error)
        },
    };

All subsequent calls to the standard Rust log functions will use this setup, providing output like the following:
