Crate slog_scope

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.

Note: Part of a slog logging philosophy is ability to freely express logging contexts according to logical structure, rather than code 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

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

    let plain = slog_term::PlainSyncDecorator::new(std::io::stdout());
    let log = slog::Logger::root(
        slog_term::FullFormat::new(plain)

    );

    // 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()
    );
}
