A basic stdout logger for Rust applications

smlog: a lightweight and very basic stdout logging implementation

Useful for basic human-readable logging, and not much else

Rather than other logging implementations, this logger is extremely opinionated for the sake of simplicity. The lack of choice means that you should be able to call smlog::Log::init(...) once in main and immediately start logging using log's logging macros, without adding a significant amount of bloat to your project.

Log formatting

Your log statements will look extremely basic:

• info!(...) prints info: ...
• warn!(...) prints warning: ...
• error!(...) prints error: ...
• debug!(...) prints debug: ...
• trace!(...) prints trace: ...

but sometimes, that's all you really need.

Examples:

Basic logging

use smlog::{log::{info, error}, Log, LevelFilter};

fn main() {
    Log::init(LevelFilter::Info);

    info!("Hello, world!");
    // Outputs `info: Hello, world!`

    error!("Goodbye, world!");
    // Outputs `error: Goodbye, world!`
}
