This project provides a new debug view for [gyscos/cursive](https://github.com/gyscos/cursive) using the [emabee/flexi_logger](https://github.com/emabee/flexi_logger) crate. This enables the `FlexiLoggerView` to respect the `RUST_LOG` environment variable as well as the `flexi_logger` configuration file. Have a look at the `demo` below to see how it looks.

## Usage
Simply add to your `Cargo.toml`
```toml
[dependencies]
cursive-flexi-logger-view = "^0"
```
### Using the `FlexiLoggerView`
To create a `FlexiLoggerView` you first have to register the `cursive_flexi_logger` as a `Writer` in `flexi_logger`. After the `flexi_logger` has started, you may create a `FlexiLoggerView` instance and add it to cursive.
```rust
use cursive::Cursive;
use cursive_flexi_logger_view::FlexiLoggerView;
use flexi_logger::Logger;
fn main() {
// we need to initialize cursive first, as the cursive-flexi-logger
// needs a cursive callback sink to notify cursive about screen refreshs
// when a new log message arrives
let mut siv = Cursive::default();
Logger::try_with_env_or_str("trace")
.expect("Could not create Logger from environment :(")
.log_to_file_and_writer(
flexi_logger::FileSpec::default()
.directory("logs")
.suppress_timestamp(),
cursive_flexi_logger_view::cursive_flexi_logger(&siv)
)
.format(flexi_logger::colored_with_thread)
.start()
.expect("failed to initialize logger!");
siv.add_layer(FlexiLoggerView::scrollable()); // omit `scrollable` to remove scrollbars
log::info!("test log message");
siv.run();
}
```
Look into the [documentation](https://docs.rs/cursive-flexi-logger-view) for a detailed explanation on the API.
