Simple File Logger

A simple file logger for rust.

Very basic setup, just provide an app name and an optional log level.

use simple_file_logger::{init_logger, LogLevel};
use log::info;

fn main() {
    init_logger("my_app", Loglevel::Info).unwrap();
    info!("Hello, world!");
}

or if you want to use the default log level (and save typing around 15 characters):

use simple_file_logger::init_logger;

fn main() {
    init_logger!("my_app").unwrap();
    info!("Hello, world!");
}

The log levels are: trace, debug, info , warn, error.

The log file is located:

OS	Path	Example
Windows	%FOLDERID_LocalAppData%\program_name\log\program_nametime_stamp.log	C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\program_name\log\program_name_2020-05-01T12-34-56.log
Linux	$XDG_DATA_HOME/program_name/log/program_name_time_stamp.log	/home/username/.local/share/program_name/log/program_name_2020-05-01T12-34-56.log
macOS	$HOME/Library/Application Support/program_name/log/program_nametime_stamp.log	Users/username/Library/Application Support/program_name/log/program_name_2020-05-01T12-34-56.log

Optional features

• clap: enable clap parsing for LogLevel, Uses the ValueEnum proc-macro.
• serde: enable serde serialization and deserialization on LogLevel.
