/*! An ultra simple no-configuration logger with colored output and zero dependencies.Just add it to dependencies and initalize it as soon as possible. ```rust use log::*; use SimplestLogger; fn main { SimplestLogger::initalize(LevelFilter::Info); // your code! } ```` SimplestLogger gives lots of line length for longer messages, and uses easily-distingusishable but theme respecting (ANSI) terminal colors. We also have some constants you can use to more easily line things up. In your Cargo.toml you will need: ```toml log = { version = "0.4", features = ["max_level_trace", "release_max_level_warn"] } ``` Those feature flags aren't really "features", what they do is allows all logs in debug, but tells the rust compiler to remove any and all `trace!` and `debug!` macros invocations at *compile time*, meaning you have exactly zero overhead or performance loss for those macros: only info, warning, and error have any processing power required in production. In fact, if you want you can even do `release_max_level_off` and get no cost for *any* logs in production! Useful for embedded systems and tight storage constraints--since you can omit the entire log and SimplestLogger crates. */ use log::Record; use log::Level; use log::Metadata; use log::LevelFilter; use log::info; pub struct SimplestLogger; // You probably already know this but a lot of devs don't know `static` v. `const`.
