Tlogger

A versatile and stylish logging library for Rust applications that provides both console output and file logging capabilities with customization options.

Features

  • Full RGB color support with true color ANSI codes
  • Text styling (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, dim)
  • Nested and combined styles support

• 📦 Flexible output formats

  • Single-line logging with timestamps
  • Box-style messages with titles
  • Clean file output (automatically strips ANSI codes)

• ⏰ Time-based file management

  • Configurable log rotation intervals
  • Hourly, 3-hour, 6-hour, 9-hour, 12-hour, or daily files
  • Automatic file creation and naming

• 🎯 Extensive customization options

  • Custom colors for each log level
  • Customizable symbols and borders
  • Separate colors for titles and message text

• 🔍 Development features

  • Debug mode toggle for production/development
  • Millisecond-precision timestamps
  • Error handling for file operations

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
tlogger = "0.1.4"

Or use the cargo add command:

cargo add tlogger

Usage

use tlogger::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    // Initialize logger with hourly log files
    init_logger("logs", LogInterval::OneHour).unwrap();
    // Or use other intervals: ThreeHour, SixHour, NineHour, TwelveHour, OneDay

    customize_colors(Colors {
        info: ansi_rgb!(32, 80, 123),
        debug: ansi_rgb!(60, 200, 30),
        ..Default::default()
    });

    customize_symbols(Symbols {
        debug: "⟐",
        ..Default::default()
    });

    customize_borders(Borders {
        ..Default::default()
    });

    info!("Server", "Starting");
    success!("Login", "User {} connected", "Alice");
    debug!("Processing", "Items in queue: {}", 42);
    warn!("Memory", "Usage at {}%", 85);
    error!("Database", "Connection failed");

    info_box!("System", "Your super secure super system is starting up.");
    warn_box!("Memory", "Memory usage is at {}%", 85);
    error_box!("Database", "Database connection failed");
    success_box!("Login", "User {} connected", "Alice");
    debug_box!("Processing", "Items in queue: {}", 42);
}

Log Management

Log Intervals

Configure how frequently new log files are created:

init_logger("logs", LogInterval::OneHour).unwrap();

Available intervals:

• LogInterval::OneHour - New file every hour (e.g., 2024-02-20-14h-15h.log)
• LogInterval::ThreeHour - Every 3 hours (e.g., 2024-02-20-12h-15h.log)
• LogInterval::SixHour - Every 6 hours (e.g., 2024-02-20-12h-18h.log)
• LogInterval::NineHour - Every 9 hours (e.g., 2024-02-20-09h-18h.log)
• LogInterval::TwelveHour - Every 12 hours (e.g., 2024-02-20-12h-00h.log)
• LogInterval::OneDay - One file per day (e.g., 2024-02-20-00h-24h.log)

Log Level Filtering

Control which types of logs are saved to files:

use tlogger::prelude::*;

// Initialize logger
init_logger("logs", LogInterval::OneHour).unwrap();

// Clear default log levels (by default all levels are saved)
clear_log_levels();

// Add only the log levels you want to save
add_log_levels!(
    LogLevel::Debug,
    LogLevel::Warn,
    LogLevel::Error
);

// Now only Debug, Warn, and Error logs will be saved to files
// Info and Success logs will still show in console but won't be saved

Styling Options

Colors

Change the colors your logs use. All log types (info, warn, error, success, debug) will change the color of boxes in box style outputs, or will change the title of single line outputs. The log types with _text suffix (e.g., info_text) will change all message text.

use tlogger::prelude::*;

customize_colors(Colors {
    info: ansi_rgb!(32, 80, 123),
    info_text: ansi_rgb!(60, 200, 30),
    ..Default::default()
});

Text Styling

You can style your text using simple markdown-like syntax:

• **text** for bold text
• *text* for italic text
• _text_ for underlined text
• ~text~ for strikethrough text
• @text@ for dimmed text

These styles can be nested and combined:

// Single styles
info!("Server", "This text is **bold**");
info!("Server", "This text is *italic*");
info!("Server", "This text is _underlined_");
info!("Server", "This text is ~strikethrough~");
info!("Server", "This text is @dimmed@");

// Combined styles
info!("Server", "This is *italic with _underlined_ text*");
info!("Server", "This is **bold with *italic* inside**");
info!("Server", "You can mix **bold** with @dimmed@ and ~strikethrough~");

// Works in box style too
info_box!("Server", "All _styling_ **works** in *boxes* too!");

Custom Styling

If you need to style text programmatically, you can use the style_text! macro:

let styled_text = style_text!("This is **bold** and *italic*", colors.info_text);

Debug Mode

Debug messages can be disabled in production while still being logged to file:

set_debug(false);  // Disables console output for debug messages

File Logging

When initialized, logs are automatically saved to files based on the specified interval. All ANSI color codes are automatically stripped from the file output for better readability.
