Library-logger

LibraryLogger[S] is the public library-facing sync logger facade type. It wraps Logger[S] and keeps standard logging behavior while intentionally exposing a narrower public surface for package boundaries.

Interface

pub struct LibraryLogger[S] {
  inner : Logger[S]
}

output

  • LibraryLogger[S] - Public library-oriented sync logger wrapper over a concrete sink type S.

Explanation

Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors

  • This is a public facade struct, not a type alias.
  • The wrapped sink type S is preserved, so sink-specific typing remains available through the facade type parameter.
  • The facade keeps common library-safe operations such as new(...), with_target(...), child(...), bind(...), is_enabled(...), and the main write methods.
  • Call to_logger() when later code must recover the full underlying Logger[S] surface.

How to Use

Here are some specific examples provided.

When Need A Narrower Public Sync Logger Type

When a package should expose logging capability without publishing the full Logger[S] API:

let logger : LibraryLogger[ConsoleSink] = LibraryLogger::new(console_sink(), target="lib")

In this example, the package boundary exposes the library facade instead of the full logger type.

When Need To Recover The Full Logger Later

When a library-facing facade should later be adapted back into the ordinary sync logger surface:

let full = logger.to_logger()
full.info("started")

In this example, the facade can be unwrapped when broader logger operations are needed internally.

Error Case

e.g.:

  • LibraryLogger[S] itself does not have a runtime failure mode.

  • Runtime behavior still depends on the wrapped sink S, so any sink-specific limitations remain unchanged behind the facade.

Notes

  1. Use LibraryLogger::new(...), build_library_logger(...), or parse_and_build_library_logger(...) when you need a value of this type.

  2. Use Logger[S] directly when exposing the full sync composition surface is acceptable.
