If you like to include useful pieces of information in log messages but don't want to use verbose text to join all the pieces
together, this crate might get you some way towards that. It won't help you make your messages useful nor will it be the fastest
way to get messages into such-and-such system. The primary outflow for these messages is as a JSON serialised structure that
just includes the keys and values given to the logger.
This is currently being built to use in another of my projects, so it will be updated and extended as needs arise. Contributions are welcome and encouraged. Please see the Contribution guide to find out how you can help.
You create an Event which implement fmt::Display to output the JSON. Creating an event can either be done using
a parse() like: -
```rust
let test_event: event::Event = "some event".parse().unwrap();
``
If youprintln!("{}", test_event)` you would see something like: -
text
{"attributes":{"message":"some event"},"created":"2020-03-01T13:32:31.845256Z"}
or you can use a pattern like: -
rust
let mut test_event = event::Event::new();
test_event.add_field(
String::from("message"),
String::from("this is the error message"),
);
