Struct env_logger::fmt::Formatter

pub struct Formatter { /* fields omitted */ }

A formatter to write logs into.

Formatter implements the standard Write trait for writing log records. It also supports terminal colors, through the style method.

Examples

Use the writeln macro to easily format a log record:

use std::io::Write;

let mut builder = env_logger::Builder::new();

builder.format(|buf, record| writeln!(buf, "{}: {}", record.level(), record.args()));

Methods

impl Formatter

pub fn style(&self) -> Style

Begin a new Style.

Examples

Create a bold, red colored style and use it to print the log level:

use std::io::Write;
use env_logger::fmt::Color;

let mut builder = env_logger::Builder::new();

builder.format(|buf, record| {
    let mut level_style = buf.style();

    level_style.set_color(Color::Red).set_bold(true);

    writeln!(buf, "{}: {}",
        level_style.value(record.level()),
        record.args())
});

pub fn timestamp(&self) -> Timestamp

Get a Timestamp for the current date and time in UTC.

Examples

Include the current timestamp with the log record:

use std::io::Write;

let mut builder = env_logger::Builder::new();

builder.format(|buf, record| {
    let ts = buf.timestamp();

    writeln!(buf, "{}: {}: {}", ts, record.level(), record.args())
});

Trait Implementations

impl Write for Formatter

fn write(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<usize>

Write a buffer into this object, returning how many bytes were written.

fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Flush this output stream, ensuring that all intermediately buffered contents reach their destination.

fn write_all(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Attempts to write an entire buffer into this write.

fn write_fmt(&mut self, fmt: Arguments) -> Result<(), Error>

Writes a formatted string into this writer, returning any error encountered.

fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Creates a "by reference" adaptor for this instance of Write.

impl Debug for Formatter

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
