# ChromaLog `ChromaLog` is a customizable, colorful logger for Rust applications. It enables dynamic color coding of log levels and supports writing log messages to both the console and an optional log file. You can define your own color scheme for different log levels, including `ERROR`, `WARN`, `INFO`, `DEBUG`, and `TRACE`. ## Features - **Customizable Color Scheme**: Define colors for log levels and other components such as the log target or timestamp. - **File Logging**: Optionally write log messages to a specified log file while still printing them to the console. - **Supports All Log Levels**: `ERROR`, `WARN`, `INFO`, `DEBUG`, and `TRACE`. - **Timestamped Logs**: Logs include date and time with millisecond precision. - **Console and File Output**: Log messages are simultaneously printed to the console and can be saved to a log file. - **Simple Integration**: Easily add it to your project using the `log` crate's interface. ## Installation Add the following to your `Cargo.toml`: ```toml [dependencies] chromalog = "0.1.0" log = "0.4" colored = "2.0" chrono = "0.4" ## Example Usage use chromalog::{ChromaLog, ColorConfig, ArgColor, error, warn, info, debug, trace, Color, LevelFilter}; use std::fs::File; use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex}; fn main() { // Create a log file (optional) let log_file = File::create("my_log.log").expect("Unable to create log file"); let log_file = Arc::new(Mutex::new(log_file)); // Define custom colors for log levels let custom_colors = ColorConfig { error_color: Color::Red, warn_color: Color::BrightYellow, info_color: Color::BrightGreen, debug_color: Color::BrightBlue, trace_color: Color::BrightMagenta, arg_color: None, // ArgColor::Fixed(Color::BrightMagenta), ArgColor::LogLevel target_color: Color::Cyan, datetime_color: None, // Use default color for datetime }; // Initialize the logger with a custom color scheme and log file ChromaLog::init(LevelFilter::Trace, custom_colors, Some(log_file)).unwrap(); // Log messages at different levels error!("This is an error message."); warn!("This is a warning message."); info!("This is an info message."); debug!("This is a debug message."); trace!("This is a trace message."); }
