Integrate a slog Logger with your Rocket.rs application

Documentation (master)

This is a fairing that you can attach to your rocket.rs application to enable use of a slog Logger in your handlers

Installation (for rocket v0.3)

In your Cargo.toml, put the following in the [dependencies] section:

rocket-slog = "0.3"

For pre-2018-edition crates, put the following in your crate root:

extern crate rocket_slog;

Installation (for rocket 0.4)

In your Cargo.toml, put the following in the [dependencies] section:

rocket-slog = "0.4.0-rc.2"

For pre-2018-edition crates, put the following in your crate root:

extern crate rocket_slog;

Example (for rocket 0.3)

Here is an example application that uses the rocket-slog fairing. Note that you should probably disable the builtin rocket logger unless you want the output from both logging systems.
