Info Utils

Utilities for logging and error-handling in Rust.

Features

  • log!, warn!, and error! macros for convenient and informational data display

  • eval() as a drop in for unwrap()

  • should() as a drop in for expect()

  • Info Utils also provides eval_or(), eval_or_default(), and eval_or_else() functions as drop-ins for the corresponding unwrap_*() functions.

Usage

Add the following to your cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
info_utils = "2"

Or run

cargo add info_utils

Use in Rust Code

Macros

Basic Use
use info_utils::macros::*;

fn main() {
    let x = 10;
    log!("Value is {}", x);
    warn!("{} is greater than 3", x);
    error!("x is equal to {}, exiting..", x); // Exits with error code
}
Output
❯ cargo run
   Compiling demo v0.1.0 (/Path/To/Project)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.15s
     Running `target/debug/demo`
info  ["main"]: Value is 10
warn  ["main"]: 10 is greater than 3
error ["main"]: x is equal to 10, exiting..

Terminal output is color formatted

With Named Threads
use info_utils::macros::*;
use std::thread;

fn main() {
    log!("Hello from main thread!");

    let named_thread = thread::Builder::new()
        .name("named thread".into())
        .spawn(||{
            log!("Hello from inside a named thread!");
        }).unwrap();

    let unnamed_thread = thread::Builder::new()
        .spawn(|| {
            log!("Hello from inside an unnamed thread!");
        }).unwrap();

    named_thread.join().unwrap();
    unnamed_thread.join().unwrap();
}
Output
❯ cargo run
   Compiling demo v0.1.0 (/Path/To/Project)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.15s
     Running `target/debug/demo`
info  ["main"]: Hello from main thread!
info  ["named thread"]: Hello from inside a named thread!
info  ["<unknown>"]: Hello from inside an unnamed thread!

Eval

Basic Use
use info_utils::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let option: Option<&str> = Some("valid value");
    let mut result: Result<&str, &str> = Ok("everything's fine");

    log!("Option: {}\nValue: {}", option.eval(), result.eval());

    result = Err("oh no something happened!");
    log!("Result: {}", result.eval());
}
Output
❯ cargo run
   Compiling demo v0.1.0 (/Path/To/Project)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.15s
     Running `target/debug/demo`
info  ["main"]: Option: valid value - Value: everything's fine
error ["main"]: "oh no something happened!"
Other Functions
use info_utils::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let mut option: Option<&str> = Some("valid value");
    let mut result: Result<&str, &str> = Ok("everything's fine");

    log!("Option: {}\nValue: {}", option.eval(), result.eval());

    result = Err("oh no something happened!");
    option = None;

    log!("Result: {}", result.eval_or("it's alright we can handle this"));
    warn!("Option: {}", option.eval_or("option was None"));

    log!("Result: {}", result.eval_or_default()); // Logs "" since that's the str default value

    log!("Result: {}", result.eval_or_else(|e| {
        warn!("error was: {:?}, but we're all good anyways", e);
        "error handled"
    }));
}
